Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
How does Mitigant CSPM differ from traditional CSPM tools?
Traditional CSPM tools identify misconfigurations. Mitigant CSPM goes further by integrating with CAE:
Traditional CSPM Approach:
- "Your S3 bucket is publicly accessible" (detection)
- Relies on signatures and rules
- Tells you what might be a problem
Mitigant CSPM + CAE Approach:
- CSPM: "Your S3 bucket is publicly accessible."
- CAE: "We just successfully accessed your S3 bucket—here's the data we could exfiltrate" (validation)
- Proves what's actually exploitable
- Tells you what is a problem
The Mitigant Advantage:
- Combines CSPM assessment WITH attack emulation
- Prioritizes findings based on validated risk, not theoretical scores
- Reduces false positives by testing exploitability
- Provides evidence that remediation actually worked
Think of it as CSPM + continuous red teaming in one platform.
What compliance frameworks does Mitigant CSPM support?
Mitigant CSPM provides continuous compliance monitoring for:
International Standards:
- ISO 27001
- SOC 2
- HIPAA
Cloud-Specific Benchmarks:
- CIS Benchmarks for AWS and Azure
- BSI C5 (German cloud security standard)
Regional Regulations:
- NIS2 Directive (European cybersecurity requirements)
- GDPR considerations
How it works:
- Automatic mapping of findings to compliance requirements
- Real-time compliance status dashboards
- Evidence collection for audits
- Clear remediation steps with compliance context

How often does Mitigant CSPM scan my environment?
Continuous monitoring - not scheduled scans:
- CSPM continuously monitors for configuration changes via cloud provider APIs
- Real-time detection of new resources or modified configurations
- Immediate alerts for compliance violations or security issues
- No need to wait for scheduled scan windows
What this means:
- New misconfiguration? Detected within minutes
- Resource created with wrong settings? Immediate notification
- Compliance violation introduced? Instant visibility
- No blind spots between scan intervals
This continuous approach is far superior to tools that scan hourly or daily.
Can Mitigant CSPM auto-remediate issues?
Currently: Mitigant CSPM provides guided remediation rather than automatic fixes:
What you get:
- Clear, step-by-step remediation instructions
- Multiple remediation options (web portal, CLI, Terraform)
- Context about why the issue matters
- Compliance framework mapping
- Estimated effort and impact
Why guided vs. automatic:
- Gives you control over changes to production
- Allows review before applying fixes
- Prevents unintended consequences
- Supports change management processes
Workflow:
- CSPM detects issue → Provides remediation steps → You review and apply → CSPM validates fix
Many customers integrate Mitigant into their IaC pipelines to semi-automate remediation while maintaining control.
Does Mitigant CSPM work across multiple cloud accounts?
Yes. Mitigant CSPM provides unified multi-cloud visibility:
Supported:
- Multiple AWS accounts (including AWS Organizations)
- Multiple Azure subscriptions (including Management Groups)
- Mixed environments (AWS + Azure simultaneously)
Benefits:
- Single dashboard for all cloud environments
- Consistent security policies across clouds
- Unified compliance reporting
- Cross-cloud correlation of issues
- One platform, one vendor, one interface
Perfect for:
- Enterprises with complex multi-cloud architectures
- Organizations using different clouds for different purposes
- Companies that acquired businesses on different cloud platforms
- Teams managing dev/staging/prod across multiple accounts
