Secure your Cloud Seamlessly with Scalable Security Integration

Ensure every layer of your cloud infrastructure is secure, allowing teams to innovate with the peace of mind that their creations are protected.

Security integration empowers organizations to scale with confidence, knowing that their cloud operations are protected by robust compliance controls, a zero-trust security approach, and comprehensive secrets management. With Control Plane, teams can focus on innovation while our platform fortifies their infrastructure, fostering a secure and compliant environment for growth.

Scale with Compliance

Instant Compliance Controls

  • Control Plane is SOC II Type 2, PCI DSS Level 1, HIPAA, HITRUST, and GDPR compliant, ensuring your cloud operations meet the highest industry standards from day one.

  • Most regulated organizations (e.g. banks) whether operating in a multi-cloud environment, or a single cloud, are concerned with the risk of not being compliant. Organizations leveraging the Control Plane Platform instantly gain important compliance controls, operating integrity and standardized audit processes across multiple operating environments.

Enhanced productivity through reduced compliance burden

  • Engineering teams gain the freedom to focus on functionality and development without being mired in infrastructure or compliance concerns.

  • Without being burdened with complex compliance requirements, engineering teams gain the freedom to focus on functionality and development without being mired in infrastructure/compliance concerns.

  • Control Plane's abstraction of security and compliance allows for least-privilege access and the ability to extend policies and standards across different cloud providers.

  • Engineers have reported an order of magnitude increase in productivity, due to the scope reduction around compliance, observability, auditability and general security controls.

Zero-Trust Security Approach

Continuous Security Verification

  • Embracing a zero-trust methodology, Control Plane embodies continuous identity verification, least-privilege access, continuous monitoring, micro-segmentation, and encryption. This holistic strategy enhances the overall security and integrity of your systems.

Software-defined VPN

Cross-Cloud Secure Networking

  • Leverage Control Plane's Cloud Wormhole™ technology, a software-defined VPN implementing the Wireguard protocol, to enable secure resource access across clouds. Workloads can securely reach network resources that are otherwise unreachable, such as endpoints inside a VPC not exposed to the internet or in private data center networks.

  • Additionally, the Cloud Wormhole™ supports VPC peering, AWS Private Link, and equivalent private link methods on Azure and GCP, enabling cross-cloud secure networking that spans across one or multiple clouds.

Cloud Wormhole™ revolutionizes secure, software-defined VPN connectivity to your cloud resources. Grant workloads precise access to specific network services while enforcing granular access control. For example, enable a workload deployed within a GVC™ with AWS locations to securely access an RDS in an AWS VPC, inheriting the required permissions encapsulated within the identity.

Resource Types and Access Policies

Fine-Grained Access Control

  • The Control Plane Platform supports the creation of fine-grained access control policies that govern access to any object type, enabling organizations to designate groups and individuals with different responsibilities and spheres of control.

Define Resource-Specific Permissions

  • Policies define resource access within an organization, mapping specific permissions (e.g., create, delete, edit) to principals (e.g., users, service accounts, groups, identities). This granular approach ensures that each entity has the minimum required access, enhancing security posture.

Utilize Control Plane's flexible resource types and access policies to granularly manage user and role-based permissions, ensuring a robust zero-trust security posture for your cloud infrastructure.

Immutable Record of Actions

Comprehensive Audit Trail

  • Control Plane's audit trail service provides an immutable record of all resource mutations, whether initiated by the API, CLI, UI, Terraform, or other means. Users can leverage a user-friendly interface to search, filter, and review these actions, gaining visibility into timestamps, resource details, user information, and raw event data.

Streamlined Audit Review

  • Apply filters to refine the displayed actions based on resource type, audit context, resource name or ID, subject name, and date range, streamlining the audit review process and ensuring compliance with ease.

Effortlessly and securely SSH into your application’s container(s) deployed to any location.

The audit trail UI (and API) provides the details of each recorded action, including:

  • Timestamp

  • Name of resource

  • Kind of resource

  • Version

  • Results

  • Message

  • Subject (the user that acted), their IP address and other attributes, such as authentication type, user ID, email, etc.

  • Link to display the raw JSON of the events

Control Plane's comprehensive tamper-proof audit trail capabilities offer a complete, immutable record of all actions within your cloud environment. Easily execute custom queries into your infrastructure history for compliance assurance and effortless issue investigation.

You can apply filters to streamline the displayed actions based on:

  • Resource Type

  • Audit Context

  • Resource name or ID

  • Subject Name

  • Start and optional end date

A sample of the audit trail UI is provided below, showcasing the outcome of a query that displays all actions that occurred.

Control Plane's comprehensive audit trail empowers you to effortlessly review and analyze all changes made to your cloud resources. Quickly identify and investigate modifications through the intuitive user interface.

Comprehensive Secrets Management

Simplified and standardized secrets management across environments.

  • Workloads often require sensitive data such as API keys and connection strings. Various challenges, including hardcoded secrets, inadequate encryption practices, access control issues, neglect of regular rotation, insufficient monitoring, potential human errors, dependence on single points of failure, and limited visibility into secrets usage, can compromise the efficacy of secrets management.

  • Control Plane's comprehensive secrets management subsystem reduces the cognitive load for software and DevOps engineers by providing a secure and standardized approach to managing secrets across any cloud or on-premises environment.

Seamless Secrets Injection

  • Secrets can be seamlessly injected into containers as environment variables or mounted as files, enhancing security and reducing the risk of exposure. Control Plane greatly simplifies and standardizes secrets management across any cloud or on-prem environment.
