Integration process
Step 1
Plan Orca Security integration scope
Confirm which Agentless scan and Risk prioritization capabilities will be connected first. Start with read-only ingestion before enabling write actions.
Step 2
Connect cloud accounts and subscriptions
Onboard AWS, Azure, GCP, or Kubernetes clusters to the CSPM platform with read-only security audit roles.
Step 3
Enable compliance benchmarks
Activate CIS, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, or custom frameworks and baseline current posture scores.
Step 4
Integrate ComplAI via API or exports
Pull misconfiguration counts, compliance pass rates, and critical findings into ComplAI Assurance and risk dashboards.
Step 5
Define remediation ownership
Assign cloud account owners and map CSPM alerts to change management and vulnerability SLAs.
Step 6
Mark integration complete in ComplAI
Update integration status to Connected, attach configuration evidence, and link mapped controls in the Controls library.
GRC benefits
- Cloud misconfiguration evidence for ISO A.8.9 and SOC 2 CC6.6/CC7.1
- Multi-cloud compliance posture for leadership and audit dashboards
- Automated drift detection aligned to change management controls
Related controls
Verification checklist
- ☐Integration credentials stored securely and rotation scheduled
- ☐Test sync completed successfully with sample records
- ☐Error alerting configured for failed sync or API rate limits
- ☐Control mappings documented in ComplAI
- ☐Evidence sample exported and reviewed by control owner
- ☐Runbook link attached to related controls
Troubleshooting
Authentication or API permission errors
Verify API scopes, token expiry, and service account status in the vendor admin console. Regenerate credentials if needed.
Partial or stale data in ComplAI
Check sync schedule, pagination limits, and filter rules. Run a full reconciliation sync after correcting configuration.
Network connectivity failures
Confirm firewall egress rules, proxy settings, and IP allowlists on both sides of the integration.
