Ghara connects to your AWS account once and answers the two questions that won't go away — are we compliant, and are we wasting money. One read-only connection. One Cloud Health Score. One ranked action queue.
A customer asks for SOC 2. Your bill triples overnight. An auditor flags GuardDuty. Three problems, three tools, three vendors. You stop checking because every dashboard tells you something different is broken.
Controls drift silently. A pass yesterday is a fail today. You only find out when the auditor sends the report — usually two weeks before the deadline.
Engineers spin up resources, then leave. Idle EBS, unattached load balancers, oversized instances. By the time finance asks, you're paying $40k/year for resources nobody owns.
Vanta for compliance. Vantage for cost. CloudWatch for security. $35k+/year, three logins, three integrations, and zero of them tells you whether your cloud is actually healthy.
No procurement cycle. No engineering team to deploy it. Connect AWS once, get answers immediately.
One CloudFormation Quick Launch creates a read-only IAM role. We never get write access. 4 minutes, no DevOps required.
Compliance controls across 5 frameworks. Cost waste across 8 categories. Kubernetes via OpenCost. Findings stream in live as we work.
A composite 0–100 score. A ranked action queue. Dollar values on every fix. Share the score with your board, share fixes with your team.
The Cloud Health Score is a 0–100 composite of your compliance posture, cost efficiency, and security findings. It moves week over week. Your board tracks it. Your team fixes it. No more "is our cloud healthy?" debates.

Compliance automation. Cost optimization. Security posture. One product, one connection, one bill.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS — 103 controls, multi-region scanning across every active AWS region. AI-powered remediation guidance for every failing check.
Idle EBS, unattached EIPs, idle NAT gateways, oversized RDS, unused load balancers, abandoned snapshots, idle EC2, untagged spend. Each finding shows monthly and annual savings.
OpenCost integration shows cost per namespace, per workload, per pod. Detect idle pods, oversized requests, unused PVCs across EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed clusters.
Slack and email alerts the moment a control flips from pass to fail, or when daily spend deviates from baseline. Never surprised in an audit again.
One ranked list across both engines. Compliance gaps and cost waste, sorted by impact. CLI commands to fix on the spot. Snooze, assign, or mark done.
Publish a public compliance page for prospects. Share your SOC 2 score, certifications, and security documents. NDA-gate access with one click. Available on Growth.
The status quo is a $35k+ stack of tools that don't talk to each other. Ghara replaces it with a single platform.

We use a read-only IAM role with permissions scoped to specific services — Cost Explorer, IAM, S3 metadata, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Config, EC2 describe calls, RDS metadata, EKS describe. We never see your S3 object contents, RDS data, or anything in transit. The full IAM policy is in our docs and on the CloudFormation template before you deploy it.
No. The IAM role is read-only by design — no Put*, Update*, Delete*, or Create* permissions anywhere. If a control needs remediation, we tell you what to fix and link to the CLI command or AWS Console action — but you make the change.
Sign up with email, password, and a credit card. Your card is captured for verification only — no charge during the 7-day trial. On day 8, your card is charged the price of your selected plan ($499 or $1,299/mo). Cancel any time during the trial with one click in your dashboard — no charge.
Vanta and Drata are excellent compliance tools but they don't do cost optimization, Kubernetes spend, or unified cloud-health scoring. If you only need compliance and you have $24k+/year to spend, they're strong choices. Ghara is for teams who want one platform that covers compliance + cost + security with a single read-only AWS connection.
Yes — most customers run both for a billing cycle while they validate Ghara's controls match. Our framework coverage maps 1:1 with Vanta's for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Once your team is comfortable, cancel Vanta and bank the savings (Ghara Growth is roughly half the price of comparable Vanta plans).
Not today. We support AWS plus Kubernetes (any cloud, via OpenCost). GCP and Azure are on the roadmap but not committed — we'd rather be the best AWS tool than a mediocre multi-cloud one.
Your account moves to read-only — you keep access to historical scans and findings, but new scans pause. Re-enable any time by adding a card again. We never delete your data unless you explicitly ask us to.
AWS us-east-1 with encryption at rest and in transit. Customer data is logically isolated by org_id. We use Anthropic Claude for AI-powered remediation guidance — your AWS configuration is sent to Anthropic only when you click "explain this" on a finding, and never used for training.
