Drift — The Road Splits

When reality diverges, SecureRoad shows it.

Compare your expected architecture and security posture to actual production reality. Detect drift early, understand the impact, and get back on track.

Expected

Reference architecture

On track
  • MFA enabled
  • Encrypted at rest
  • Managed WAF
  • Required telemetry
  • SOC detection coverage
  • Compliant configuration

Actual

Production reality

At risk
  • MFA enabled
  • Encrypted at rest
  • Unmanaged service
  • Partial telemetry
  • Configuration drift
  • Running in production

Drift Detected

Off track
  • New public endpoint
  • Missing WAF
  • Unapproved service
  • Outdated TLS version
  • Missing telemetry

Don't trust the blueprint. Validate reality.

Continuously reconcile reality against the contract

SecureRoad compares what should exist — from your architecture and controls — with what actually exists in your environment, and highlights the gaps.

  • The contract: what should exist

    Architecture, security controls, compliance requirements, user stories and configuration standards.

  • Validation: how it is compared

    Configuration analysis, control validation and drift detection, with risk prioritized and work raised automatically.

  • Your environment: what actually exists

    Read from the tools you connect: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Terraform.

Validation workflow

From detection to remediation, in one place

  1. 1

    Detect

    Find the gap.

    • Read configuration from connected tools
    • Compare against the contract
    • Flag what has drifted
  2. 2

    Analyze

    Assess the impact.

    • Requirements affected
    • Detections affected
    • Controls in scope
  3. 3

    Create work

    Put it in the queue.

    • Open work in Jira, ServiceNow or GitHub
    • Owner from the passport
    • Acceptance criteria attached
  4. 4

    Remediate

    Fix it where it lives.

    • Track progress to closure
    • Exceptions need a named approver
    • Nothing closes by going quiet
  5. 5

    Validate

    Prove the fix.

    • Re-read the environment
    • Confirm against evidence
    • Close the loop
  • Detect drift early

  • Understand the impact

  • Take action

  • Stay on track

You can't secure what you can't see.
