Misconfigurations
Identified
We assess your cloud environment, recommend the right CSPM platform: native (AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, GCP SCC) or third-party (Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud): and deploy it with proper configuration so findings are accurate and actionable, not a flood of false positives.
CSPM continuously scans your cloud resources against security benchmarks: CIS Foundations, cloud provider best practices, and your organization's custom policies. New misconfigurations are flagged as they are introduced, before they can be exploited. We configure detection rules relevant to your environment and risk profile.
CSPM platforms provide regulatory compliance dashboards showing your current state against SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CMMC. We configure compliance monitoring for your specific frameworks and tune the dashboard so compliance status reflects actual posture, not default miscategorizations.
You cannot protect what you do not know exists. CSPM provides complete, continuously updated inventory of every cloud resource across all accounts and subscriptions. We configure asset tagging policies and inventory management so your cloud asset map stays current as your environment grows.
Modern CSPM platforms can visualize the attack paths that connect misconfigurations to high-value targets: showing how an attacker would chain individual findings into a meaningful breach. We use attack path analysis to prioritize remediation by actual risk, not just severity scores.
CSPM findings need to reach the teams responsible for remediation. We integrate your CSPM platform with your SIEM, SOC tooling, and ticketing system: Jira, ServiceNow, PagerDuty: so findings automatically create work items and are tracked to resolution.
Our AWS environment had grown organically for three years and nobody had ever done a security review. garrisonOne found 47 misconfigurations in a single assessment: public S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, unencrypted data at rest. Everything was remediated in six weeks and we passed our SOC 2 cloud controls section without a single finding.
Client results
Technology / SaaS
A seed-stage SaaS startup had customer data in a public S3 bucket. garrisonOne conducted a full AWS security assessment against CIS benchmarks and hardened the environment in 4 weeks.

CSPM is a category of security tooling that continuously monitors cloud environments for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks. CSPM platforms scan cloud resources against security benchmarks and regulatory frameworks, provide compliance dashboards, visualize attack paths, and alert on new risks as they are introduced.
CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) focuses on the configuration and posture of cloud infrastructure: finding misconfigurations, compliance gaps, and access risks. CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform) focuses on protecting running workloads: VMs, containers, and serverless functions: from runtime threats. Platforms like Wiz, Prisma Cloud, and Orca combine both capabilities.
We work with Wiz, Orca Security, Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, and GCP Security Command Center. For most organizations, we recommend starting with native cloud CSPM tools if they address your requirements, adding third-party tools for multi-cloud visibility or advanced capabilities as needed.
CSPM platforms provide regulatory compliance dashboards that continuously assess your cloud environment against the specific requirements of SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CMMC. Instead of a point-in-time compliance assessment, CSPM provides continuous compliance monitoring with evidence generation for auditors.
Attack path analysis visualizes how an attacker could chain together individual misconfigurations and access grants to reach a high-value target: such as a database containing sensitive data or an administrative account. By showing the complete path, attack path analysis helps security teams prioritize remediation based on actual exploitability rather than individual finding severity.
Most CSPM platforms scan continuously and update findings in near-real-time as cloud APIs report changes. Configuration changes that introduce misconfigurations are typically detected within minutes. Some co
