Continuous posture, FinOps, capacity and compliance across every cloud account. Infrastructure module discovers and models resources, ITFM attributes spend, Risk & Compliance enforces controls, and Link cloud agents auto-remediate drift.
Core capabilities
Policy-as-code
OPA / Rego enforced at deploy and runtime across hyperscalers.
FinOps & TBM
FOCUS-compliant showback, chargeback, anomaly detection, savings recos.
Posture management
CSPM, CIEM, CWPP unified across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI.
Capacity & rightsizing
Forecast demand, rightsize commitments, plan reservations.
Modules included across iShield
This solution is not a single module — it composes capabilities from across Nexus, Connect, One, Link and iShieldGRC to deliver the outcome.
Cloud governance is a triangle of cost (ITFM), posture (Risk & Compliance + SecOps) and capacity (Infrastructure + Capacity). Treating any one in isolation creates blind spots. Link cloud agents close the remediation loop so policy isn't a PDF — it's a runtime behaviour.
Reference data flow across iShield
A single record moves across iShield Nexus, Link, One and Connect — with GRC evidence captured at every step.
Captures the request, ticket, asset or risk record in the workflow engine and CMDB.
AI agents enrich, score and route the record under residency, PII and approval guardrails.
Outcome, SLA and KPI are written back so dashboards and reporting reflect closed-loop reality.
Regulatory & framework coverage
Out-of-the-box control mappings managed by the iShield Nexus Risk & Compliance (GRC) module.

Deployment models & data residency
iShield Cloud (SaaS)
Multi-tenant SaaS managed by iShield, monthly release train.
Sovereign Cloud
Single-tenant deployment in regulated regions with in-country data residency and key custody.
Private Cloud / BYOC
Customer-owned AWS, Azure, GCP or OCI tenancy — iShield-managed control plane.
On-Prem / Air-gapped
Fully disconnected install for OT, defense and classified workloads.
Industry-tuned use cases
Cross-region active/active landing zones with SAMA CSF posture, FinOps showback per LoB, and DORA-aligned exit testing for hyperscalers.
Sovereign landing zones (NCA CCC-1:2020 / TDRA) with per-ministry chargeback and policy-as-code blocking non-resident workloads.
Multi-cloud BSS/OSS posture and capacity forecasting across AWS + Azure + on-prem OpenStack, with FOCUS 1.0 unit-cost per subscriber.
Peak-season auto-scaling under FinOps anomaly guardrails; CSPM for PCI-DSS 4.0 SAQ-D scope reduction.
How iShield wins this category
Sovereign-cloud deployment in KSA and UAE with NCA-aligned key custody — no Azure-region workaround required.
Workflow-first composable model — no multi-year re-implementation to change a process.
One platform across CRM, ITSM, GRC and ERP — no per-cloud licensing stack.
iShield Link enforces residency, PII and consent across products so guardrails are systemic, not per-tool.
