Achieving and maintaining compliance in the cloud poses significant challenges for organizations due to the complexity of safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring infrastructure is correctly configured. Datadog Cloud Security addresses these challenges by providing tools to monitor compliance trends, identify and address misconfigurations, and visualize compliance progress over time for major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The Misconfigurations Overview dashboard enables organizations to prioritize and remediate misconfigurations, offering insights into compliance posture changes and trends that affect posture scores, which are calculated based on the severity and frequency of compliance failures. This tool also helps organizations track where misconfigurations occur or are resolved within their environment, facilitating targeted remediation efforts. Datadog Cloud Security's features, including tagging and report pages for compliance frameworks, aid in understanding and improving an organization's compliance posture, and the platform is accessible through a 14-day free trial for new users.
