  • Connects to your AWS account via IAM role assumption
  • Scans your infrastructure configuration for compliance with security frameworks (currently ISO 27001:2022)
  • Generates compliance reports

The Service accesses your AWS account using IAM role assumption. You create an IAM role in your AWS account and provide us with the role ARN (Amazon Resource Name).
