Cloud Security Posture

Reasonable safeguards, continuously checked

The Act's largest penalty attaches to failing to take reasonable security safeguards. This module watches the cloud configuration around your personal data stores and tells you when a bucket, key or role stops being reasonable.

What Cloud Security Posture does

Four capabilities that together close this obligation — and feed the same audit log every other module writes to.

Book a walkthrough
  • Posture checks

    Encryption, public exposure, key rotation and access scope checked against your data map.

  • Risk-weighted alerts

    A misconfiguration on a store holding personal data outranks one that holds logs.

  • Access review

    Who can reach personal data, reviewed on a cycle with sign-off captured.

  • Evidence capture

    Every check and remediation becomes audit evidence automatically.

  • Data-aware prioritisation

    A finding on a store holding personal data outranks the same finding on a log bucket.

  • Drift detection

    A configuration that was compliant last week and is not today raises an alert immediately.

From zero to live cloud security posture

  1. 130 min

    Connect the cloud account

    Read-only role in AWS, Azure or GCP.

  2. 2Instant

    Link to the data map

    Findings are ranked by whether the affected store holds personal data.

  3. 310 min

    Set the review cycle

    Access reviews scheduled with sign-off captured as evidence.

What changes on day one

Without Cloud Security Posture

  • Posture findings are ranked by CVSS, not by data held
  • Access reviews happen when someone remembers
  • Evidence is assembled during the audit

With Cloud Security Posture

  • Findings ranked by privacy impact
  • Access reviews on a cycle with sign-off
  • Evidence captured continuously

Common questions

The Act does not enumerate them, which means the standard is what a reasonable organisation in your sector would do. Encryption, access control, monitoring and testing are the floor.

What the 30 minutes looks like

  1. 0–5Your stack, in your wordsWhere data lands today, and who already owns it.
  2. 5–15One real flow, mapped liveWe connect a sample source and build the map on the call.
  3. 15–25Where you are exposedThe gaps we can see, ranked — including the ones you already knew.
  4. 25–30Effort and costWhat closing them takes, and whether we are the right answer.

If we are not the right fit, we will say so on the call rather than three follow-ups later.
