Bring Strategy to
Cloud Governance.
Technical scanners find open ports. Cloud-Grade reveals the organizational blind spots. The strategic platform to benchmark your governance maturity, close compliance gaps, and build an audit-ready cloud organization.
The Problem
Your Cloud is Secured.
But is it Governed?
You've invested in Wiz, Prisma, or Defender for Cloud. Your CSPM dashboard shows thousands of findings. But when the auditor asks "Who owns this workload?", "Where is your exception process?", or "How do you enforce your tagging policy?" — the tools go silent.
That's because technical scanners check resources. They don't check if your organization is ready to manage them. The result: You pass the technical scan but fail the governance audit.
No Process Ownership
70% of cloud workloads have no defined owner. When incidents happen, escalation chains break.
Regulatory Disconnect
NIS2 and DORA require governance evidence — not just technical controls. Most orgs can't map one to the other.
Alert Fatigue, No Action
Your CSPM floods you with 10,000 findings. Without governance context, teams can't prioritize what actually matters.
Technical Complexity
Multi-Cloud environments, thousands of resources, and endless CSPM alerts.
Cloud-Grade
Translates technical reality into organizational control and actionable governance frameworks.
Regulatory & Business
NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and Board-level assurance requirements.
What We Do
Governance-as-a-Service.
Not Another Dashboard.
Cloud-Grade is a hybrid model: SaaS-based assessment combined with expert consulting. We don't just show you what's wrong — we give you the exact blueprints to fix it.
Maturity Assessment
A structured, scientific assessment that measures your governance maturity across critical domains: Identity, Data, Networking, Cost, and Compliance.
Output
Governance Index Score (0–5) with visual heatmap and regulatory distance analysis.
Governance Blueprints
A library of ready-to-deploy process templates, RACI matrices, policy documents, and technical enforcement patterns (Terraform, Azure Policy, AWS SCPs).
Output
Tailored remediation plan mapped to your specific assessment gaps.
Expert Sparring
Optional C-Level advisory and hands-on workshops. Your CISO or Cloud Lead gets a strategic sparring partner to drive transformation.
Output
Guided implementation of governance structures and stakeholder alignment.
How It Works
Three Steps to
Governance Maturity.
Measure your Governance Maturity.
You can't manage what you don't measure. The Governance Index is a structured assessment that evaluates your organizational maturity — not just your technical settings. It validates whether processes are defined, lived, and monitored across five critical cloud domains.
Based on established maturity models — not vendor marketing.
Identity & Access, Data Governance, Network Security, Cost Management, Compliance & Audit.
A single Governance Index (L1–L5) that the Board, auditors, and engineering all understand.
Assessment Model
Governance Index
Map Gaps to Regulations.
Cloud-Grade acts as a translation layer between your operational reality and regulatory requirements. We map every identified gap directly to the controls demanded by NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 — so you see instantly which missing process is blocking your compliance.
Every assessment finding is cross-referenced against major regulatory frameworks.
Focus on the issues that create actual business risk — not just noisy alerts.
Security debt translated into language the C-Suite and auditors understand.
Gap Analysis
No offboarding definition for 30% of workloads. Violates NIS2 Art. 21(2)(a).
Process exists but lacks audit trail. DORA Chapter V requires documented evidence.
Tags defined but not enforced. 45% of resources non-compliant.
Close the Gap. Your Way.
This is where insights become governance. Use our Actionable Blueprints to fix processes yourself, or enable Expert Sparring for guided implementation. The platform adapts to your team size and resource needs.
Self-Service
RACI matrices, policy templates, change management workflows, incident response plans — ready to deploy.
Expert Sparring
C-Level advisory, stakeholder workshops, and hands-on governance implementation support.
Technical Enforcement
Terraform modules, Azure Policies, and AWS SCPs that enforce your governance as code.
AI-Assisted Drafting
AI maps your gaps to the right blueprints and creates first drafts of company-specific policies.
The Cloud-Grade Cycle
ContinuousGovernance Maturity Assessment
Structured digital assessment across 5 domains — Identity & Access, Data, Network, Cost, and Compliance. Measures whether governance processes are defined, lived, and monitored.
Gap Analysis & Regulatory Mapping
Every finding is cross-referenced against NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 controls. You see exactly which missing process or policy blocks your compliance — prioritized by business risk.
Strategic Roadmap & Workshop
A prioritized, step-by-step governance plan built with your stakeholders. Risk-weighted and resource-aware — so you fix what matters first, not what's loudest.
Remediation & Expert Sparring
HybridExecute using self-service Blueprints (RACI matrices, policy templates, Terraform/Azure Policy) or book Advisory sessions for guided implementation with a dedicated sparring partner.
Continuous Improvement
Re-assess quarterly to track maturity progression from L1 → L5 and produce auditor-ready evidence of governance improvements.
Compliance Bridge
We Translate Regulation
into Cloud Language.
Regulatory texts are abstract. Cloud environments are concrete. We close the gap between the two.
NIS2 Directive
NIS2 demands supply chain governance, incident reporting, and risk management measures. We map these abstract requirements to your specific cloud setup.
DORA Regulation
DORA requires digital operational resilience for financial entities. We focus on exit scenarios, multi-region governance, and ICT third-party risk.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 controls were designed for on-prem. We map them to cloud-native workflows so your ISMS actually reflects how your teams work today.
Benefits
What Changes When You
Start Governing.
Audit-Ready in Weeks, Not Months
Map your technical controls to ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA requirements in real-time. When the auditor arrives, you have the evidence — structured, documented, and traceable.
Executive Clarity
Transform complex security debt into clear, board-level reporting. Justify security investments with data, not fear. One score the entire organization understands.
From Wild West to Enterprise Grade
Use pre-built blueprints to scale your Cloud Center of Excellence. Move from reactive firefighting to proactive governance with measurable maturity progression.
CSPM Amplifier, Not Replacement
We don't replace your Wiz, Prisma, or Defender. We make them 10x more effective by adding the governance layer that turns alerts into accountable action.
Built For
The Organizations That
Can't Afford to Fail an Audit.
Cloud-Grade is designed for mid-market and enterprise organizations (500 – 5,000 employees) in regulated industries. Companies that have the cloud — but not yet the operating model to govern it.
