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 external 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.
