Summary

Datadog Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) offers organizations a comprehensive solution for managing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) in cloud environments, specifically expanding its services to include Microsoft Azure. By providing a centralized platform, Datadog CSPM enables users to track their compliance posture, automate audit evidence collection, and identify misconfigurations across multi-cloud infrastructures. The platform supports industry-standard frameworks such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and CIS, ensuring that cloud environments adhere to the latest standards. Datadog's CSPM features a security posture dashboard that offers high-level overviews and detailed compliance reports, allowing organizations to prioritize and address critical violations effectively. It runs over 250 security and compliance rules to detect deviations from compliance controls and generates detailed findings with contextual infrastructure data to facilitate issue resolution. Additionally, CSPM integrates into the broader Datadog Cloud Security Platform, allowing users to correlate findings with other security issues and build collaborative dashboards, enhancing visibility and collaboration among engineering and GRC teams.
