CGPulse vs Google Cloud Assured Workloads

CGPulse scans Azure and AWS resources for misconfigurations and tracks cloud compliance against policy rules and frameworks. Its coverage lists 621 rules across 19 frameworks, including Azure, AWS and cross-cloud policies. Scanning uses read-only access and does not modify cloud resources. Users can review supported fixes before applying them; fixes marked dangerous require a warning and confirmation. The service can generate Terraform, Bicep and CLI remediation templates, while a YAML editor lets users create custom rules. It also provides a REST API and an MCP server for AI assistants including Claude and Copilot. CGPulse is available on the web and through an API, with Free, Team and Business plans. Free costs nothing and allows two cloud accounts and 10 scans monthly; Team costs €99 a month and Business costs €299 a month. Team and Business list a 7-day free trial. CGPulse describes itself as a posture assessment tool, not a certified compliance audit.
