CSPM vs IaC remediation
Posture tools excel at finding risk. Audits and uptime improve when those findings become Terraform changes you can review, apply, and re-scan.
The ticket graveyard problem
Many teams run a CSPM, open hundreds of tickets, and never close the loop. Findings age out; the next scan looks the same. IaC remediation turns alerts into durable configuration.
Side-by-side
| Need | CSPM-only | IaC remediation |
|---|---|---|
| Discover misconfigs | Strong | Strong (with live scan) |
| Prioritize by framework | Often | Yes (SOC 2, CIS, FedRAMP…) |
| Apply lasting fixes | Manual / tickets | Terraform apply |
| Prove closure | Screenshots | Re-scan + deploy logs |
A better loop
- Scan live inventory across clouds
- Audit against the frameworks you care about
- Review AI or engineer-authored Terraform fixes
- Apply, re-scan, keep evidence
