Scale compliance across global frameworks with Datadog Cloud Security
Blog post from Datadog
As cloud infrastructures expand, maintaining compliance with regulatory and industry standards becomes increasingly challenging due to rapid changes in cloud resources, decentralized service adoption, and dispersed audit evidence. Datadog Cloud Security addresses these challenges by providing a unified, continuous approach to compliance, offering extensive framework coverage, real-time visibility into posture risks, and over 1,500 out-of-the-box detection rules tailored to industry standards. It supports both agentless and agent-based scanning, ensuring near real-time insights and a 15-month history of misconfigurations to aid audits and investigations. Users can customize controls using Rego, with each misconfiguration tagged for compliance relevance, thereby simplifying the understanding and prioritization of risks. Datadog also supports various global and industry-specific frameworks, including APRA CPS 234, SOC 2, PCI DSS 4.0, and ISO 27001:2022, enabling organizations to maintain audit readiness and meet diverse compliance requirements. The platform facilitates continuous monitoring and control mapping, enhancing security posture by minimizing manual compliance processes and integrating orchestration tools for faster issue resolution.
