Cloud Governance & Policy Automation Services
Automate compliance, enforce policy as code, and maintain continuous control across every cloud environment.
Overview
As cloud adoption scales across business units and regions, maintaining consistent governance, compliance, and configuration standards becomes one of the hardest challenges in enterprise IT. Manual enforcement no longer works: policies drift, risk exposure grows, and audits become costly distractions.
Intelligent Visibility’s Cloud Governance & Policy Automation Service provides a modern, automated framework that turns governance from a reactive checklist into a proactive, continuous control system. Using a policy-as-code model, we translate organizational and regulatory requirements into codified rules enforced directly within your cloud environments, eliminating human error and ensuring compliance before deployment.
Service Capabilities
1. Policy Definition and Codification
We collaborate with your security, compliance, and engineering stakeholders to define governance policies covering identity, access, data protection, resource configuration, and workload placement. These policies are expressed as version-controlled code...consistent, auditable, and ready for automation.
2. Automated Enforcement and Continuous Compliance
Through integration with tools such as AWS Config, Azure Policy, Terraform Sentinel, OPA, and Cloud Custodian, we embed enforcement into your CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure, provisioning workflows. Misconfigurations are blocked at commit, not discovered months later during an audit.
3. Centralized Visibility and Alerts
Unified dashboards and rule-based alerts provide real-time insight into compliance posture, drift, and exception handling across accounts, regions, and clouds. This central view enables faster remediation and cleaner audit trails.
4. Regulatory Alignment
We align governance automation with frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, and CIS Benchmarks, ensuring that policy enforcement directly supports your industry and regulatory obligations.
5. Integration with Observability and ITSM Toolchains
Our approach ties compliance events directly into your existing monitoring and ticketing systems (LogicMonitor, ServiceNow, Jira, or Aegis IR) so every violation becomes a trackable, resolvable incident rather than a static report.
Outcomes That Matter
Continuous Compliance: Reduces audit fatigue and risk exposure by ensuring every deployed resource meets policy requirements.
Automated Governance: Eliminates manual reviews and configuration drift, freeing engineers to innovate.
Unified Visibility: Enables data-driven decisions across security, finance, and operations.
Cost Optimization: Prevents resource sprawl and non-compliant configurations that inflate spend.
Reduced Risk and Faster Remediation: Integrates governance alerts with incident workflows to shorten mean time to resolution (MTTR).
Why Intelligent Visibility?
Best-of Breed Expertise
We leverage deep experience with cloud automation platforms, observability stacks, and regulatory frameworks to create a governance layer that complements your existing investments (AWS, Azure, GCP, Arista CloudVision, Palo Alto, and more).
Integrated Aegis Framework
As part of our Aegis Managed Services suite, Cloud Governance & Policy Automation ties directly into Aegis PM (Performance Management), Aegis IR (Incident Response) and Aegis LM (Lifecycle Management), ensuring policy enforcement remains active long after implementation.
Outcome-Driven Delivery
We measure success not by the number of rules implemented, but by the reduction in audit findings, mean time to resolution, and governance overhead. Our clients achieve higher reliability and faster compliance cycles with lower effort.
When to Engage IVI
- You manage multiple cloud environments with inconsistent configuration policies.
- Your compliance reporting relies heavily on manual audits or spreadsheets.
- You want to embed governance directly into your CI/CD pipelines.
- You're adopting or expanding a FinOps or Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) model.
- You need to demonstrate continuous compliance with frameworks like HIPAA, NIST, or GDPR.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does policy-as-code differ from traditional compliance frameworks?
Policy-as-code converts written policies into executable rules, allowing enforcement to occur automatically in pipelines and runtime environments instead of through manual review.
Can this service work across AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously?
Yes. We design governance policies using cloud-native and cross-platform tools to ensure consistent enforcement and visibility across all major providers.
How quickly can continuous compliance be implemented?
Initial baselining and automation can typically be deployed in 4-8 weeks depending on scope, with progressive expansion into broader policy domains over time.
Does this replace my existing security or compliance teams?
No. It augments them by automation low-value, repetitive tasks so they can focus on higher-impact risk and governance strategy.
How does this service integrate with Aegis IR or existing ITSM systems?
We tie compliance events directly into incident queues, creating, tracking, and closing tickets automatically, ensuring violations are remediated through existing operational workflows.
