"Reactive Policies, Rising Risks: Why Compliance Fails in Production"
60% Manual Governance Overhead Creates Development Velocity Bottlenecks
Traditional infrastructure governance requires constant human intervention to review policies, validate configurations, and ensure compliance, creating bottlenecks in development velocity with 60% of platform engineering time spent on manual governance activities while introducing human error into critical security decisions and forcing teams to wait 24-48 hours for policy validation cycles.
Static Policy Rules Ignore 75% of Business Context & Risk Variations
Static governance tools cannot adapt to changing business contexts, application requirements, or risk profiles, applying blanket rules without understanding the nuanced needs of different workloads or environments, leading to 75% of policy exceptions requiring manual review and creating friction between development teams and security requirements that slows deployment success rates.
Reactive Compliance Management: 85% of Violations Reach Production
Most governance tools operate reactively, scanning infrastructure after deployment rather than preventing violations during the planning and provisioning stages, with 85% of governance violations reaching production before detection, leading to expensive remediation cycles, production security risks, and audit readiness challenges that require manual evidence collection and compliance reporting.

Solution
]
Import, manage, and enforce custom policies across cloud environments
Enforce policies across cloud providers, resource and projects
Scope policies to specific teams to ensure appropriate access and configurations.
Apply Action-Based Permissions: Tailor permissions to align with team responsibilities.
Implement Policy Definitions: Utilize built-in and custom policies for resources like VMs, storage, and networking.
Utilize Conditional Policies: Adapt policies based on resource tags, locations, or request parameters.
Prevent Unauthorized Changes: Block modifications or misconfigurations during deployments.
Bring custom resource policies from various sources
Integrate custom IAM policies into StackGen to validate and enforce.
AWS IAM Policy Documents: Action-based permissions tailored to specific AWS resources.
Azure RBAC Policies: Fine-grained role assignments and permissions for Azure resources.
GCP IAM Policies: Resource-specific permissions defined for Google Cloud resources.
OPA Policies: Open Policy Agent (OPA) policies for advanced, platform-agnostic governance.
Validate, enforce and report OPA policies
Enforce custom IAM policies, including OPA policies.
Parse and validate OPA policies to ensure correctness.
Enforce OPA policies across all supported cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Generate detailed reports on policy compliance and violations.
Support mulit-cloud policy enforcement
Ensure all policies are applied consistently across cloud platforms.
AWS: Action-policy documents for S3, EC2, RDS, and more.
Azure: RBAC-based roles and custom policies integrated with Azure Policy.
GCP: IAM roles and permissions for Compute Engine, BigQuery, and other services.
Manage the lifecycle of policies
Manage the entire lifecycle of custom IAM policies.
Validate Policies Automatically: Check syntax and logic during policy import for accuracy.
Validate and Alert: Compare policies against resources and trigger alerts for violations or misconfigurations.
Track Policy Versions: Maintain version histories for easy rollbacks and audits.
Monitor Compliance: Track usage and compliance status with real-time auditing insights.
Restore Compliance: Apply automated remediation suggestions to fix violations efficiently.

2
Context-Aware Policy Intelligence Eliminates 75% of Manual Exception Reviews
Transform static governance rules into intelligent, adaptive policies that understand business context, application requirements, and risk profiles, automatically handling 75% of policy exceptions that previously required manual review while providing nuanced governance that reduces friction between development and security teams and improves first-time deployment success rates by 45%.
3
Proactive Compliance Prevention: 85% Violation Reduction at Source
Shift from reactive post-deployment scanning to intelligent pre-deployment policy enforcement that prevents 85% of governance violations from reaching production, eliminating expensive remediation cycles while providing automated evidence collection for SOC 2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP compliance audits with 100% audit trail completeness and 99.9% compliance monitoring uptime.
The key for me is to have sustained compliance, sustained operational resilience, sustained observability. That's what I'm looking forward to bringing to clients using this partnership.
sustained compliance, sustained operational resilience, sustained observability
StackGen turned our infrastructure from script wrangling into building with LEGO blocks. It’s been a game changer for our team.
StackGen delivers real value for us by automating observability and incident response. We are increasingly automating the rest of the operations life cycle — building what we think of as an operations factory run with autonomous agents. StackGen's vision of combining automation with governance is compelling
StackGen’s Aiden transformed how our engineers interact with observability. Natural language insights replaced complex queries and reduced dependency on SREs.

Managing infrastructure across an estate of Nielsen’s scale requires more than automation — it requires governance to be built into the process from the start. StackGen’s Aiden for InfraOps gives our engineering teams a governed way to provision cloud infrastructure, while our close collaboration with StackGen is helping shape the platform around the requirements of a complex, multi-account environment.
We share the same vision as StackGen, where agentic factories are the future. We're using agents to connect policy, intent, execution and verification to Bancolombia's strategy. For us, the future is intent-driven autonomous operations.
StackGen is providing us the necessary compliance and cloud automation at scale to help drive our digital transformation.
StackGen is the holy grail of accelerating application deployment.
