Is ARCO a certification tool?
No. ARCO supports audit-readiness and cloud security review. It does not certify compliance or guarantee auditor acceptance.

ARCO Governance
AWS compliance posture and audit-readiness for modern cloud teams.
ARCO Governance helps teams connect AWS, scan cloud resources, evaluate security controls, track findings, collect evidence, and prepare SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS readiness reports without spreadsheet chaos.
Selected AWS teams receive guided onboarding, first-scan review, and a readiness walkthrough before workspace activation.

The problem
AWS compliance gets messy fast.
AWS accounts, regions, findings, evidence requests, and framework mappings are hard to manage manually. By the time an audit review starts, teams are chasing proof instead of working from a clear readiness record.
Spreadsheet-driven readiness leaves gaps hard to explain.
Evidence is scattered
Screenshots, tickets, exports, and notes drift away from the control they support.
Readiness is hard to prove
Teams can see activity, but not a clear audit trail across accounts and frameworks.
Ownership gets unclear
Findings, exceptions, and evidence requests need durable owners and status.
What ARCO Governance does
A modern workspace for AWS compliance posture and evidence readiness.
ARCO Governance tracks AWS accounts, resources, control evaluations, findings, evidence tasks, framework readiness, and auditor packet readiness from one command center.
No connected AWS account or scan means the workspace stays honest: awaiting first scan, not fake readiness.

How it works
From AWS connection to auditor-ready evidence workflows.
ARCO keeps readiness work continuous, explainable, and grounded in real AWS security posture management signals.
01
Connect AWS securely
Cross-account IAM role with External ID. No customer AWS keys.
02
Run posture scans
Discover resources and evaluate controls across AWS accounts.
03
Review findings and readiness
See failed controls, warnings, not evaluated checks, and framework gaps.
04
Collect evidence and export reports
Prepare audit-readiness reports, evidence tasks, and auditor packet exports.
Framework coverage
Designed for the audit-readiness work AWS teams face most often.
Framework views help teams explain posture, gaps, and evidence without pretending the tool replaces auditors, counsel, or certification bodies.
SOC 2 readiness
Map AWS security posture to SOC 2 readiness conversations and evidence needs.
HIPAA security readiness
Review cloud safeguards, logging, access, and evidence for healthcare workloads.
PCI DSS cloud posture support
Support payment environment reviews with resource, finding, and requirement context.
ARCO Governance supports audit preparation and cloud security review. It does not provide legal advice, certification, or guaranteed auditor acceptance.
Reports and evidence
Turn cloud posture into cleaner audit-readiness outputs.
View readiness reports inside the workspace, then export CSV, PDF, or auditor packets when your plan allows.
Evidence command center
Keep findings, requirements, evidence tasks, suppressions, and export-ready auditor packets connected to real AWS posture data for cloud audit readiness and AWS evidence collection.

Security posture
Built around secure AWS access and tenant-scoped readiness data.
ARCO Governance uses a trust model designed for compliance-sensitive AWS teams: no long-lived customer keys, explicit role assumption, read-only scans, and tenant-scoped evidence boundaries.
Step 01
Cross-account IAM role
Customer-owned role grants scoped scanner access.
Step 02
External ID validation
Role assumption is protected against confused-deputy risk.
Step 03
Read-only scanner permissions
Posture checks avoid write access to customer workloads.
Step 04
Tenant-scoped data
Readiness data and evidence boundaries stay isolated by tenant.
Step 05
Evidence trail
Findings, tasks, exports, and exceptions support review history.

FAQ
Straight answers for compliance and cloud security buyers.
ARCO is built to support AWS compliance readiness, not to overpromise certification outcomes.
Do you store AWS keys?
No. ARCO uses cross-account IAM roles and External ID. Customers do not provide long-lived AWS access keys.
Can I start with one AWS account?
Yes. Starter is designed for one AWS account with weekly scans and a focused export allowance.
Do you offer open self-serve access?
Not yet. ARCO Governance is currently onboarding selected AWS teams through guided founding access so setup, first scans, and readiness outputs can be reviewed safely.
Does ARCO replace an auditor?
No. ARCO helps prepare findings, evidence, and reports for review, but it does not replace legal, compliance, or auditor judgment.
