Continuous Compliance & Operations

Always audit-ready.
Never scrambling for evidence.

ZAP monitors your entire estate continuously — detecting drift within minutes, closing findings end-to-end and generating compliance evidence on demand. Your last audit is always current.

Four pillars

Compliance, operations, FinOps and reporting.
One platform.

Continuous Compliance Monitoring

ZAP scans your entire estate on a configurable schedule — default every 6 hours. Every finding is mapped to its CIS control, regulatory framework and owning team. No finding is anonymous. Drift from approved baseline detected within minutes of the change. ITSM auto-raised. ZAP AI remediation generated. ITSM auto-closed on resolution.

9 frameworks — all monitored continuously

Operations & Backup Monitoring

ZAP Operations dashboard provides real-time health status across all governed environments — backup job status, patch compliance, resource health and service availability. Failures trigger automatic ITSM escalation. No manual monitoring required.

Backup job monitoring — failure triggers HIGH ITSM
Patch compliance monitoring — failing VMs surfaced

FinOps & Cost Governance

Mandatory tagging enforced at deployment — every resource has owner, cost centre, project and environment from day one. ZAP FinOps scans daily for waste — unattached disks, oversized VMs, unused load balancers and unowned resources. All attributed without investigation. Change tickets raised per owning team.

One-Click Evidence Packs

ZAP generates compliance evidence packs from live estate data — not cached or historical data. One PDF. All 9 frameworks. Generated in seconds. Signed and tamper-evident. Available on demand — before audit, after incident, for board reporting. 3–4 weeks of manual assembly eliminated.

9 frameworks — one evidence pack
Generated from live estate data
Signed and tamper-evident PDF
Available on demand — seconds, not weeks
Remediation record included for each finding
Generated automatically after every scan cycle

End-to-end remediation

Detection to closure.
Nothing left open.

ZAP closes the loop — from automated detection to PR-based IaC fix to Platform Lead approval to ITSM closure with full audit trail.

Detected

ZAP scan identifies finding. CIS control, resource ID, owning team and severity surfaced. HIGH severity: ITSM auto-raised immediately.

Analysed

ZAP AI analyses root cause — misconfiguration, drift or missing policy. Related findings on same resource checked.

Fix generated

ZAP AI writes the Terraform fix. Validates against CIS benchmark. ZAP Compliant Scan pre-validates the fix before PR is raised.

PR raised

PR raised in GitHub or Azure DevOps. Fix description in plain language. CIS control reference. ITSM ticket number linked.

Approved

Platform Lead reviews and approves. One approval. Terraform apply executes. Change applied to live infrastructure.

Verified

ZAP Compliant Scan re-runs on remediated resource. Control confirmed passing.

Closed

ITSM ticket auto-closed. Resolution timestamp. Approver identity. Scan verification result. Git commit reference. Immutable.

SIEM integration

Your security tools.
Unified in ZAP.

Microsoft Sentinel

Findings ingested automatically. Analytics rules integration. Incident creation. Log Analytics workspace. Azure-primary estates.

Microsoft Defender

Defender for Cloud findings surfaced in ZAP Dashboard. Alert enrichment. Full resource context preserved.

AWS Security Hub

Security Hub findings ingested in real time. Custom insight creation. Multi-account aggregation supported.

Google Chronicle

Chronicle SIEM integration. Finding normalisation. Cross-cloud correlation. GCP-primary estates.

The difference

Periodic audit vs
continuous compliance.

Without ZAP

Compliance checked at audit — 6 or 12 months

Drift exists for days or weeks before discovery

Evidence assembled manually — 3–4 weeks per audit cycle

Cost attribution done retrospectively — weeks of analysis

Backup failures found at manual check — not at failure

SIEM alerts handled separately — no compliance context

Finding closed when engineer says so — no verification

With ZAP

Drift detected within minutes of change

Compliance monitored continuously — 24/7

Evidence pack in seconds — always current

Cost attributed from deployment — owner always known

Backup failure detected at 02:00 — ITSM raised before 08:00

SIEM findings ingested automatically — all in one dashboard

Finding closed only when ZAP Compliant Scan confirms pass

Frequently asked questions

Continuous compliance
questions answered.

Periodic scanning checks compliance at a point in time. Continuous compliance means ZAP scans your estate and detects drift within minutes of it occurring. A misconfiguration introduced at 2am is detected at 2am — not discovered 3 months later at an audit.

Drift is any change to live infrastructure that moves it away from its approved baseline — a policy modified, a firewall rule changed, a backup setting disabled. ZAP detects drift within minutes of the change and raises a finding automatically. The engineer who made the change (from governance tags) is notified.

ZAP scans live infrastructure data — not cached or historical data. Evidence packs are generated from the current state of your estate at the moment of generation. The PDF includes scan timestamp, framework mapping, finding detail and remediation record. Signed and tamper-evident.

CIS Azure 2.0, CIS AWS 2.0, CIS GCP 1.3, DORA, FCA PS21/3, NCSC CAF, CE+, PCI-DSS v4.0 and ISO 27001. All nine in one evidence pack on demand.

Tagging is enforced at deployment — every resource has owner, cost centre, project and environment tags from day one. ZAP FinOps then surfaces waste daily — unattached disks, oversized VMs, unused load balancers — with owner attribution. No manual reporting. 20–35% cloud spend reduction typical in year one.

Yes. ZAP integrates with Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub and Google Chronicle for SIEM. ServiceNow and Jira for ITSM. Findings flow automatically — no manual export or connector configuration.
