Audit Policy Scans for Pulumi Stacks introduces a new way to maintain continuous compliance monitoring by evaluating the last successful deployment state of infrastructure as code (IaC) stacks without interfering with existing CI/CD workflows. This feature complements existing audit scans for live cloud environments, offering a holistic view of security postures by identifying unmanaged resources and configuration drifts. The new evaluation mode facilitates frictionless policy rollouts by providing an instant compliance baseline for all managed infrastructure, thus enabling organizations to adopt policies at scale and enhance developer efficiency. By decoupling policy evaluation from deployment, the solution accelerates policy rollouts and ensures that the latest policies are continuously evaluated against the deployed infrastructure. Users can initiate these audit scans by adding IaC stacks to an Audit Policy Group in the Pulumi Cloud console, automatically triggering post-deployment evaluations reflected in a unified Policy Findings hub. This comprehensive governance approach offers a 360-degree view of cloud environments, balancing the need for rigorous compliance with the efficiency of the development process.
