Datadog cloud security posture-
findings prioritised and ownership clear in four weeks.
Most organisations running AWS or Azure have cloud security misconfigurations, IAM over-permissions, exposed storage, unpatched workloads, but no structured programme to find, prioritise, and fix them. This accelerator changes that: Datadog Cloud Security Management active, posture findings surfaced, and a clear ownership model in place by week four.
Cloud Security Management configured across your cloud accounts. Posture findings prioritised by risk. Dashboard pack and ownership model on delivery. First remediation backlog ready for sprint planning.
- Catalyst: to deliver remediation at scale
From unknown posture to structured findings and ownership
The four weeks establish cloud security visibility, prioritise what matters most, and leave behind a structure for acting on what was found.
- Cloud Security Management configuration across your AWS and/or Azure accounts, CSPM rules enabled, workload security active, identity risk scanning configured
- Posture baseline scan, full findings from CSM across all cloud accounts, categorised by framework (CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC2, custom) as appropriate
- Findings prioritisation, risk scoring applied, false positives reviewed, findings ordered by severity and remediation effort
- Ownership model, mapping which team or individual is responsible for each category of finding; escalation routing established
- Dashboard pack, cloud security posture view, identity risk view, and findings-by-owner views for both security and platform teams
- First remediation backlog, top-priority findings structured for sprint planning, with effort estimates and recommended fix approaches
Four deliverables at the end of week four
The right accelerator for these situations
- Security team needs cloud posture visibility but doesn't have a structured CSPM programme, findings exist but aren't surfaced, prioritised, or owned
- A compliance audit, security review, or regulatory requirement needs demonstrable cloud security posture management in a defined timeframe
- Datadog Cloud Security Management is licenced but not configured, the capability is paid for but not producing findings
- A platform team wants to understand identity risk and misconfiguration exposure across AWS or Azure accounts before a major migration or architecture change
