CloudGenie
Governance and Estate Intelligence for Azure
CloudGenie is an automated cloud governance platform for Microsoft Azure. Stop firefighting misconfigurations — it continuously audits your Azure environment against CIS benchmarks, maps every resource, and gives you a single pane of truth for compliance, so your team can focus on building, not fixing.
Cloud environments grow fast. Governance doesn't keep up. The result: security gaps, compliance failures, and teams drowning in manual checks.
Configuration Drift
Resources deployed outside policy go undetected for weeks. By the time an audit catches them, the damage is done.
Manual Compliance Burden
Teams spend days compiling evidence for audits — spreadsheet by spreadsheet — instead of shipping features.
Blind Spots Across Subscriptions
Multi-subscription estates create silos. No single team has visibility across the entire Azure footprint.
What CloudGenie Does
Nine capability areas across your entire Azure estate
Subscription Discovery
Automatically enumerates all Azure subscriptions and maps the resource hierarchy — no manual inventory required.
Resource Inventory
Catalogues every resource across 48 types and 13 domains, creating a live asset register updated on every scan.
CIS Benchmark Auditing
Runs 690+ tests mapped to 99 CIS controls, producing pass/fail results with remediation guidance.
Policy Compliance Engine
Evaluates resources against organisational policies and regulatory frameworks, flagging violations in real time.
Drift Detection
Compares current state against baseline configurations, alerting on any deviation before it becomes a risk.
Automated Reporting
Generates audit-ready compliance reports on demand — exportable, shareable, and formatted for regulators.
Role-Based Dashboards
Tailored views for CISOs, architects, and engineers — everyone sees what matters to their role.
Remediation Guidance
Every finding includes step-by-step fix instructions with Azure CLI and portal walkthroughs.
Multi-Tenant Management
Govern multiple Azure tenants from a single CloudGenie instance — built for MSPs and enterprise holding structures.

Why CloudGenie
Built Natively for Azure
Purpose-built for Azure — not a multi-cloud tool with shallow coverage. 48 resource types across 13 domains.
CIS Benchmark Coverage
690+ tests mapped to 99 CIS controls — the most comprehensive Azure CIS coverage available.
Zero-Agent Architecture
Read-only API access. No agents to install, no attack surface to manage, no performance impact on workloads.
Built for Continuous Compliance
Not a point-in-time scanner. CloudGenie runs continuously, catching drift the moment it happens.
AI where the enterprise needs it
Built for sovereignty, designed for choice
CloudGenie already keeps customer data in your tenant: platforms run in your data plane and nothing crosses the boundary. Its intelligence layer is built behind a provider-neutral interface and is designed to support additional deployment patterns, including private enterprise AI for organisations where data sovereignty, latency, or model control favour inference inside their own environment.
