Shift Left. Prevent Cloud Waste and Risk.

Stacklet IaC Governance enforces guardrails across developer workstations, code reviews, CI pipelines, and deployment pipelines. It ensures infrastructure as code security, compliance, best practices, and cost optimization, accelerating deployments and reducing manual effort. Using the Cloud Custodian policy DSL and integrated with Stacklet’s broader platform, it delivers unified, consistent governance at scale in line with modern infrastructure management practices.

REDUCE COMPLEXITY

Simple, Declarative Policy Language

Leverage a policy language that is highly expressive, human readable, and requires far fewer lines of code than traditional IaC tools. Use a single construct to query, filter, and receive remediation recommendations, ideal for securing and optimizing infrastructure components across your cloud environment.

SPEED DEPLOYMENT. REDUCE ALERT STORMS.

Contextual Exception Management

Reduce friction and alert fatigue by using contextual exception tracking. Customize exceptions based on infrastructure code characteristics like workload type or business unit, minimizing disruption while still maintaining strong compliance controls.

EMBED POLICIES ACROSS THE LIFECYCLE

Multi-Stage Policy Enforcement for IaC

Apply security, compliance, operations, and FinOps policies consistently throughout the software development life cycle. Enforce security checks and provide remediation guidance at multiple points:

  • Precommit in the integrated development environment
  • Premerge in your version control system
  • Predeploy in CI/CD pipelines

This layered approach helps teams detect potential costly misconfigurations, security vulnerabilities and compliance violations early, before they affect production.

SCALE AND IMPROVE IAC GOVERNANCE

Enterprise-Ready Configuration Management

Accelerate governance with centralized dashboards and enforcement workflows. Stacklet IaC Governance helps development and operations teams apply consistent security or FinOps policies, track exceptions, and address security and compliance issues in real time. Designed to scale across teams and environments, it helps enforce guardrails without compromising developer velocity.

IaC compliance FAQs

Why is infrastructure as code compliance important for cloud security?

Ensuring infrastructure as code compliance helps teams detect misconfigurations early, enforce security measures, and reduce exposure to security risks before they reach production. This strengthens your cloud security posture and protects your cloud infrastructure from avoidable vulnerabilities.

How does Stacklet support IaC security without slowing developers down?

Stacklet performs compliance checks throughout the development cycle, helping teams address code security issues as they write and review infrastructure code. As a leading IaC security tool, it integrates directly into developer workflows to provide enhanced security without added complexity.

Can Stacklet help enforce compliance throughout the development lifecycle?

Yes, Stacklet allows teams to enforce compliance at every stage—pre-commit, pre-merge, and pre-deploy—ensuring alignment with internal compliance policies and external compliance frameworks. This layered approach also supports consistent configuration management and reduces the chance of security vulnerabilities or costly misconfigurations slipping through.

How does Stacklet compare to other infrastructure as code security tools?

Unlike traditional infrastructure as code security tools, Stacklet offers centralized governance, contextual exception management, and continuous validation across pipelines. These capabilities allow teams to improve infrastructure security while accelerating delivery and maintaining policy alignment.
