What compliance frameworks does Osto support?
Osto's platform is designed to support the technical control requirements of widely adopted frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and cloud-specific benchmarks like CIS Controls. Features such as audit logging, ZTNA, cloud posture management, and continuous vulnerability scanning directly map to the control domains required by these frameworks. Our consultants help you identify which frameworks apply and align Osto's capabilities accordingly.
How does cloud security posture management help with compliance?
Cloud misconfiguration is one of the most common compliance audit failures. Osto's CSPM continuously discovers and evaluates your AWS, Azure, and GCP resources against security best practices, surfacing misconfigurations, exposure risks, and encryption gaps. Each finding comes with step-by-step remediation guidance, so your team can resolve issues quickly and produce documented evidence of corrective action for auditors.
Do I need a large IT team to manage Osto's compliance tools?
No. Osto is purpose-built for businesses that need robust compliance controls without a large internal security team. The centralized dashboard, automated discovery, AI-powered scanning, and streamlined admin management are designed to be operated efficiently by small teams. Onboarding is straightforward, with WhatsApp notifications, copy-paste agent install messages, and real-time webchat support available to help from day one.
What is Zero Trust Network Access and why is it important for compliance?
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security model that requires every user and device to be verified before accessing any business resource—regardless of network location. Most modern compliance frameworks explicitly require least-privilege access and strong authentication controls. Osto's ZTNA enforces secure authentication workflows and access policies that satisfy these requirements and reduce insider threat risk.
How does Osto's audit logging support compliance evidence collection?
Osto's enhanced audit log system captures a detailed record of all administrative changes, authentication events, and user actions across the platform. Compliance audits require organizations to demonstrate that controls are actively monitored and enforced—Osto's logs provide that documented trail with richer detail, improved visibility, and structured formatting that simplifies evidence submission to auditors or security reviewers.
Can Osto help with responding to security questionnaires from vendors or customers?
Yes. Osto includes a Security Questionnaire service powered by an AI agent to assist in accurately and efficiently responding to vendor or customer security questionnaires. This significantly reduces the time your team spends on trust and risk assessments while ensuring responses are consistent, accurate, and aligned with your actual security posture documented within the platform.
How quickly can Osto identify vulnerabilities in my web applications?
Osto's AI-powered web vulnerability scanner runs on configurable schedules and delivers results at 2x the speed of conventional scanners. It categorizes findings by severity, pinpoints exact affected endpoints, and provides specific remediation steps for each issue. Scheduled email reports with clean formatting ensure your team stays consistently informed without having to log in and run manual assessments.
Is my data secure when I connect my cloud accounts to Osto?
Absolutely. Osto connects to AWS, Azure, and GCP using strictly read-only permissions—it never modifies your cloud resources. For AWS, only SecurityAudit and ViewOnlyAccess policies are required. Azure uses a read-only Service Principal, and GCP uses a Viewer-role Service Account. No write access is granted, minimizing risk while enabling full posture visibility and compliance assessment across your cloud environments.
