Mondoo is a cloud security posture management (CSPM) and infrastructure security scanning tool that assesses Kubernetes clusters, cloud resources (AWS, GCP, Azure), servers, and SaaS configurations against security best practices and compliance frameworks (CIS, SOC 2, PCI DSS). Built on an open-source policy framework (cnspec/cnquery), Mondoo helps DevSecOps teams maintain compliance across their entire infrastructure.
