Top Use Cases for imPAC Cloud Security Platform

1. Asset Chain (Relationship) Security

Most breaches happen not from a single misconfiguration, but from a chain of seemingly minor gaps. imPAC's Asset Chain technology allows organizations to understand how cloud assets impact each other — and where security gaps emerge in context (S3→Lambda→KMS) that traditional tools evaluate in isolation.

Unlike conventional CNAPP solutions that scan resources individually, imPAC models relationships to solve the "blast radius blindness" problem that most tools miss. This helps security teams validate security across interconnected cloud resources rather than just looking at individual assets.

2. Cloud Security Posture Assessment

imPAC provides a holistic view of security posture, configuration functionality, and compliance state, instantly. This is particularly valuable for evaluation or when tied to new M&A assets - accelerating evaluations and due diligence from weeks to days.

Hidden liabilities can kill deals, which is why imPAC's one-click evaluation of posture and drift for acquisition targets is so valuable. This taps into high-value, urgent workflow for enterprise risk assessment and saves weeks of engineering time.

3. No-Code Security & Compliance Automation

While everyone talks about policy-as-code, imPAC delivers policy-as-app. The platform enables organizations to enforce "what good looks like" via drag-and-drop logic and implement controls 90% faster — with no engineering required.

imPAC's Compose functionality lets anyone create and enforce controls across clouds in minutes, drastically reducing time-to-control and elevating the capabilities of L1/L2 analysts without requiring specialized coding skills.

4. Rapid Security Checks with Time Machine

imPAC's Time Machine allows teams to instantly explain what changed, when, and why — with full configuration and relationship context. This turns post-incident root cause analysis or audit traceback from a days-long process into something that can be completed in seconds.

While other tools store configuration data, only imPAC provides AI-powered querying and relationship context for complete answers to complex questions, transforming reactive forensics into proactive governance.

5. Automated Audit Preparation & Response

Organizations can cut audit and compliance prep time by 80% with historical evidence for frameworks like PCI 4.0 and NIST CSF 2.0 — without interrupting engineers or developers. This reduces cost, saves time, and keeps teams focused on building.

While other tools can help with compliance, imPAC's historical tracking and complete relationship mapping provide more thorough, context-rich evidence that makes security and compliance scalable, especially in lean organizations.

6. Drift Control + Configuration Governance

imPAC prevents security decay and ensures proper configurations by continuously validating against baselines, including critical aspects like backup policies and security controls.

The platform monitors across cloud accounts and platforms with relationship-aware context, supporting preventive posture control and reducing downstream incident response. While AWS Config offers basic tracking, imPAC adds relationship context and cross-cloud consistency that provides more meaningful validation across interconnected resources.

7. Unified Cloud Policy Enforcement

imPAC ensures consistent controls across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including proper log configuration validation. This reduces error rates, simplifies operations, and improves compliance.

Other tools give a view into multi-cloud, but imPAC's unified policy approach enables true cross-cloud governance rather than just multi-cloud visibility, solving cross-cloud governance — a pain point that every enterprise is feeling.

8. Executive Reporting with Evidence

imPAC transforms technical metrics into business insights with visual evidence of security improvements over time. This helps justify investments, pass audits, and meet board expectations.

imPAC's historical tracking and before/after comparisons provide compelling evidence for stakeholders and cyber insurance providers, moving security from a cost center to a provable business enabler.

9. AI Risk & Data Classification Governance

imPAC can operationalize Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) signals (e.g., from Varonis, BigID) into config-level guardrails that enforce data risk policies upstream. While DSPM tools flag sensitive data, without infrastructure-level enforcement, risk remains.

imPAC uses DSPM signals, such as data sensitivity and access risk, to automatically enforce controls across GenAI components and services. This includes securing training data, restricting model access, and ensuring audit trails around how sensitive data interacts with AI pipelines. For example, you can classify sensitive data with BigID or Varonis, then use imPAC to auto-enforce stricter controls across related GenAI services, extending data protection from the end user to the cloud workload.
