"Reactive Policies, Rising Risks: Why Compliance Fails in Production"

60% Manual Governance Overhead Creates Development Velocity Bottlenecks

Traditional infrastructure governance requires constant human intervention to review policies, validate configurations, and ensure compliance, creating bottlenecks in development velocity with 60% of platform engineering time spent on manual governance activities while introducing human error into critical security decisions and forcing teams to wait 24-48 hours for policy validation cycles.

Static Policy Rules Ignore 75% of Business Context & Risk Variations

Static governance tools cannot adapt to changing business contexts, application requirements, or risk profiles, applying blanket rules without understanding the nuanced needs of different workloads or environments, leading to 75% of policy exceptions requiring manual review and creating friction between development teams and security requirements that slows deployment success rates.

Reactive Compliance Management: 85% of Violations Reach Production

Most governance tools operate reactively, scanning infrastructure after deployment rather than preventing violations during the planning and provisioning stages, with 85% of governance violations reaching production before detection, leading to expensive remediation cycles, production security risks, and audit readiness challenges that require manual evidence collection and compliance reporting.

Import, manage, and enforce custom policies across cloud environments

Enforce policies across cloud providers, resource and projects

Scope policies to specific teams to ensure appropriate access and configurations.

  • Apply Action-Based Permissions: Tailor permissions to align with team responsibilities.
  • Implement Policy Definitions: Utilize built-in and custom policies for resources like VMs, storage, and networking.
  • Utilize Conditional Policies: Adapt policies based on resource tags, locations, or request parameters.
  • Prevent Unauthorized Changes: Block modifications or misconfigurations during deployments.
3. Enforce policies across cloud providers, resource and projects

Bring custom resource policies from various sources

Integrate custom IAM policies into StackGen to validate and enforce.

  • AWS IAM Policy Documents: Action-based permissions tailored to specific AWS resources.
  • Azure RBAC Policies: Fine-grained role assignments and permissions for Azure resources.
  • GCP IAM Policies: Resource-specific permissions defined for Google Cloud resources.
  • OPA Policies: Open Policy Agent (OPA) policies for advanced, platform-agnostic governance.
2. Validate, enforce and report OPA policies (1)

Validate, enforce and report OPA policies

Enforce custom IAM policies, including OPA policies.

  • Parse and validate OPA policies to ensure correctness.
  • Enforce OPA policies across all supported cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Generate detailed reports on policy compliance and violations.
1. Bring custom resource policies from various sources

Support mulit-cloud policy enforcement

Ensure all policies are applied consistently across cloud platforms.

  • AWS: Action-policy documents for S3, EC2, RDS, and more.
  • Azure: RBAC-based roles and custom policies integrated with Azure Policy.
  • GCP: IAM roles and permissions for Compute Engine, BigQuery, and other services.
5. Support multi-cloud deployments

Manage the lifecycle of policies

Manage the entire lifecycle of custom IAM policies.

  • Validate Policies Automatically: Check syntax and logic during policy import for accuracy.
  • Validate and Alert: Compare policies against resources and trigger alerts for violations or misconfigurations.
  • Track Policy Versions: Maintain version histories for easy rollbacks and audits.
  • Monitor Compliance: Track usage and compliance status with real-time auditing insights.
  • Restore Compliance: Apply automated remediation suggestions to fix violations efficiently.
5. Support multi-cloud deployments

"Transform Governance into Growth: StackGen’s Custom Policies for Secure Velocity"

60% Governance Overhead Reduction Through Intelligent Automation

Eliminate manual policy validation bottlenecks with autonomous governance that provides real-time policy enforcement and automated compliance monitoring, reducing platform engineering governance activities by 60% while accelerating policy validation cycles from 24-48 hours to instant feedback, enabling development teams to maintain velocity without sacrificing security standards.

Context-Aware Policy Intelligence Eliminates 75% of Manual Exception Reviews

Transform static governance rules into intelligent, adaptive policies that understand business context, application requirements, and risk profiles, automatically handling 75% of policy exceptions that previously required manual review while providing nuanced governance that reduces friction between development and security teams and improves first-time deployment success rates by 45%.

Proactive Compliance Prevention: 85% Violation Reduction at Source

Shift from reactive post-deployment scanning to intelligent pre-deployment policy enforcement that prevents 85% of governance violations from reaching production, eliminating expensive remediation cycles while providing automated evidence collection for SOC 2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP compliance audits with 100% audit trail completeness and 99.9% compliance monitoring uptime.
