C3M Cloud Control vs Sonrai Cloud Permissions Firewall

C3M Cloud Control is an agentless platform for cloud security, identity and entitlement governance, and compliance assurance. It continuously assesses multicloud infrastructure for security and compliance risks and can remediate them. Access Control manages identity entitlements and enforces least privilege, with inventory, access-key monitoring, excessive-permission detection, audit timelines, policy enforcement, and one-click remediation for unused entitlements. Playbooks for AWS, GCP, and Azure can remediate resources, notify administrators, create incident tickets, and send violations to SIEM tools. Customers can add custom actions using cloud functions in languages including Java, Node.js, and Python. Compliance monitoring evaluates resources against PCI, GDPR, NIST, CIS, FedRAMP, HITRUST, and HIPAA, and supports custom packages. Its IaC module scans Terraform templates; support for CloudFormation, ARM, Kubernetes, and other IaC templates is described as coming soon. It offers a free assessment for up to two cloud accounts. The main plan’s price is available on request.

Sonrai Cloud Permissions Firewall monitors privileged permissions for identities across AWS, Azure and GCP. It covers human users, service principals, agents and managed identities, removing sensitive permissions that are no longer used, quarantining inactive role assignments and enforcing default deny. Permissions on Demand routes restricted-access requests through approval in ChatOps and updates the policy afterward. The web service uses read-only, top-level cloud access to collect metadata and does not install cloud agents. Onboarding occurs at the AWS, Azure or GCP organisation level, bringing in every account, subscription or project; controls can then be applied selectively. Sonrai describes unified enforcement and one audit trail across the three clouds. Available options include integrations with Slack, Teams and email, enterprise SSO, just-in-time access, third-party access lockdown, identity quarantine and other remediation controls. Support is provided by email, phone and chat. A 14-day trial requires a business email. Plans list $150 a month for 10–50 accounts and $15,000 a year for startup pricing; 50+ accounts use custom pricing.
