Integration process

1. Step 1

   Plan CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security integration scope

   Confirm which CSPM and CIEM capabilities will be connected first. Start with read-only ingestion before enabling write actions.

2. Step 2

   Connect cloud accounts and subscriptions

   Onboard AWS, Azure, GCP, or Kubernetes clusters to the CSPM platform with read-only security audit roles.

3. Step 3

   Enable compliance benchmarks

   Activate CIS, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, or custom frameworks and baseline current posture scores.

4. Step 4

   Integrate ComplAI via API or exports

   Pull misconfiguration counts, compliance pass rates, and critical findings into ComplAI Assurance and risk dashboards.

5. Step 5

   Define remediation ownership

   Assign cloud account owners and map CSPM alerts to change management and vulnerability SLAs.

6. Step 6

   Mark integration complete in ComplAI

   Update integration status to Connected, attach configuration evidence, and link mapped controls in the Controls library.
