What is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is a way to keep your cloud environments (like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) secure and compliant — automatically.

Why does CSPM matter?

Cloud platforms make it easy to launch apps, websites, and services. But that speed comes with risks:

  • A single misconfiguration (like a public storage bucket or an open database) can expose sensitive data to the entire internet.

  • Modern attackers constantly scan for these mistakes — often before you even notice them.

CSPM tools, like Tresal, continuously check your cloud accounts for security gaps, risky settings, and compliance issues — so you can fix problems before they’re exploited.


What does CSPM do?

With Tresal’s CSPM, you can:

  • Automatically scan your cloud environment:

    Tresal connects to your cloud provider (with read-only access) and scans for weak spots.

  • Detect misconfigurations:

    Instantly find common mistakes, such as:

    • Publicly accessible cloud storage (like open S3 buckets)

    • Exposed databases or servers

    • Missing security controls (like MFA or encryption)

  • See all risks in one dashboard:

    Get a clear list of issues, prioritized by risk — no technical jargon.

  • Get step-by-step fixes:

    Tresal shows you exactly how to resolve each problem, even if you’re not a cloud expert.

  • Stay compliant:

    CSPM helps you meet data privacy and security requirements, with reports ready for audits.


Who needs CSPM?

CSPM is a must-have for:

  • Tech startups and SMBs using the cloud (even with just a few servers)

  • Fast-growing SaaS companies

  • Any team without a dedicated security department


How is Tresal’s CSPM different?

  • Fast setup — no complicated configuration required

  • Designed for European privacy standards

  • No IT team needed — you get clear, actionable steps

  • Unified view: See your cloud AND your attack surface together


CSPM helps you catch cloud mistakes before attackers do. Tresal makes it simple, fast, and affordable, so your business can grow in the cloud with confidence.
