RealCISO has introduced continuous compliance integrations that automate audit evidence collection across leading cloud providers and identity platforms. The latest update enables organizations to replace manual compliance documentation with continuously refreshed, live configuration checks, helping security teams streamline governance, reduce audit preparation time, and improve security posture.
RealCISO's latest release introduces automated compliance evidence collection across the three largest public cloud providers alongside widely used identity and productivity platforms. Customers can connect Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Okta to continuously gather live configuration data directly from their environments.
Instead of relying on manual screenshots and spreadsheets before an audit, the platform automatically queries more than 200 live data sources every 4 to 24 hours. Each collection creates a point-in-time audit snapshot that is evaluated against predefined compliance requirements and mapped directly to relevant regulatory and security frameworks.
The new integrations deliver over 300 automated compliance findings that evaluate infrastructure configurations against specific security requirements. For example, the platform can automatically verify whether Amazon S3 buckets are encrypted or whether identity controls meet required security standards.
By continuously validating live environments instead of relying on static documentation, organizations gain ongoing visibility into compliance gaps while reducing administrative overhead associated with audit preparation.
"Compliance evidence has been screenshots and spreadsheets assembled the week before an audit for as long as I've been doing this work. That's paperwork, not security," said Brian Haugli, co-founder of RealCISO. "Connect your cloud and your identity provider, and RealCISO checks the actual configuration every few hours — pass or fail, mapped to your frameworks. More than half of a full assessment evidences itself. Your team gets that time back to fix what's actually broken."
The initial release supports extensive security monitoring across major enterprise platforms.
Microsoft Azure coverage includes virtual machines, storage, SQL, Key Vault, networking, RBAC, backups, Microsoft Defender, AKS, and Cosmos DB.
Amazon Web Services support includes IAM, S3, EC2, RDS, KMS, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Secrets Manager, backup services, and security alerting.
Google Cloud monitoring covers IAM, Cloud SQL, GKE, KMS, firewall policies, logging, DNS, API keys, and service accounts.
Identity platform integrations extend across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Okta, enabling continuous validation of multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged access, conditional access policies, administrative roles, external sharing controls, SSO, and access governance.
According to RealCISO, the new integrations can automatically provide evidence for up to 60% of the platform's overall security assessment library without requiring users to upload supporting documents manually.
Within highly technical security domains—including access control, platform security, and monitoring—automation covers between 80% and 96% of assessment requirements. This significantly reduces manual evidence gathering while allowing security teams to focus on remediation rather than documentation.
The company also confirmed that additional integration categories are already under development, including mobile device management (MDM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), version control systems, task management platforms, HRIS solutions, security awareness tools, and vulnerability scanners.
By continuously collecting and validating live configuration data, RealCISO aims to simplify regulatory compliance while giving organizations ongoing visibility into their security posture. The platform's automation-first approach helps reduce audit preparation efforts and enables security teams to spend more time addressing actual risks instead of compiling compliance documentation.
RealCISO is the compliance intelligence platform that helps security leaders, consultants, and managed service providers assess, manage, and demonstrate their security programs across frameworks including NIST CSF, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. Learn more at realciso.io.
