While running security programs for dozens of companies, we kept seeing the same pattern.

Cloud infrastructure is core to the business: AWS, Azure, GCP; running production workloads, storing customer data, and processing transactions. 

But the security coverage hadn’t caught up just yet. Teams were stretched thin with multiple people juggling multiple roles. Sometimes a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool had been deployed, sometimes the basic AWS tooling was configured. Most of the time they were generating thousands of alerts that nobody had time to address. 

But the tools weren’t the problem; the sustained attention was the issue.

What We Built

As part of our fractional CISO work, we started partnering with Orca to get proper visibility into these cloud environments. We built custom views, tagging systems, and tuning profiles that cut through the noise. We developed processes to triage alerts daily, prioritize what mattered, and work with engineering teams to prioritize and fix things.

Over time, we got pulled into more engagements where companies already had CSPM tools but needed help operating them. And in those engagements, we encountered the same pattern: tools deployed, alerts ignored, and no clear path forward. Wiz, Orca, and Prowler were the ones we saw most commonly. 

We decided to take everything we’d learned and built it into a managed service, which is now IOmergent Managed CSPM.

Who This Is For

• DevOps leaders and teams who are responsible for the cloud, or parts of it, including security. Normally super smart, super busy, and appreciative of a helping hand that can triage, prioritize, and focus the team on what really matters.
• CTOs and engineering leaders whose teams are stretched across too many priorities to give cloud security sustained attention
• Security leaders and fractional CISOs who need expert cloud coverage without building a team from scratch
• Companies with CSPM tools already deployed that aren’t getting the value they expected

If your cloud security is stuck somewhere between “we should really do something about this” and “we have tools but they’re not helping,” that’s the gap we fill. If you need help making sense of what's important, standing up key processes that don't exist, or an overall reboot, we can help.

What’s Next

We plan to start sharing more about how we approach cloud security: how we tune CSPM tools, how we prioritize findings, and what we’ve learned running these programs across different environments.
