ComplAI integration overview

Sysdig Secure integrates with ComplAI to support Propel Ready Solutions's GRC program. Cloud and container security with runtime threat detection and posture management. This guide covers product context, the recommended connection process, prerequisites, and verification steps for audit-ready evidence collection.

Last updated: 2026-06-24

GRC evidence available

  • Misconfiguration counts by severity
  • Compliance benchmark pass/fail rates
  • Cloud asset inventory
  • Mean time to remediate cloud findings
  • CSPM metrics and configuration evidence
  • Runtime detection metrics and configuration evidence

Prerequisites

  • Named integration owner and backup contact at Propel Ready Solutions
  • Change request approved per Propel Ready Solutions change management policy
  • Network egress allowlisting completed if required by vendor
  • ComplAI organization administrator access
  • Admin or integration-builder role in Sysdig Secure
  • Sysdig Secure product documentation reviewed (see Documentation topics below)

Integration process

  1. Step 1

    Plan Sysdig Secure integration scope

    Confirm which CSPM and Runtime detection 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.

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

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.
