Open Source CSPM for Azure

Modern Security,
Purely Open.

OpenShield is an enterprise-grade, open-source CSPM engine for Azure. We help engineering teams detect misconfigurations, audit compliance against CIS, SOC2, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001, and automate remediation - all without the six-figure price tag.

Project Philosophy

Security for
Every Team.

OpenShield was built on the principle that basic security visibility shouldn't be a luxury. We're democratizing CSPM with a platform that runs where your resources are, ensuring data never leaves your control.

Automated Audits

Map your infrastructure to CIS, SOC2, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 requirements automatically.

Instant Remediation

Don't just find bugs—fix them. OpenShield generates atomic CLI playbooks to close security gaps in seconds.

State-Aware Intelligence

Unlike basic scanners, OpenShield correlates findings across multi-subscription environments to identify systemic risks and privilege escalation paths.

Decoupled Architecture

The engine strictly separates cloud SDK handlers from security logic, allowing researchers to contribute new rules with zero changes to the core orchestrator.

Full Compliance Coverage

OpenShield maps every finding to the CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark, SOC2, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 out of the box.

Native SIEM Export

Findings can be streamed directly to Microsoft Sentinel or exported as JSON for ingestion into existing security pipelines.

Enterprise Multi-Tenant

Designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and enterprises using Azure Lighthouse for multi-tenant security operations.
