Audit Readiness

Downloadable compliance evidence helps teams prepare for reviews without manual chasing.

Everything you need to stay on top of AWS

Cost anomaly detection

Spot unusual spending patterns before they spiral out of control

Backup verification

Know what's actually protected, not just configured

Misconfiguration detection

Find security gaps before attackers do

Report generation

Audit-ready compliance evidence on demand

Question 1

What is this?

An AWS monitoring tool focused on cost, backup, security, and compliance reporting.

Question 2

Why should I care?

It catches the expensive and risky issues teams usually discover too late.

Question 3

What do I do next?

Connect AWS in read-only mode and start free monitoring in minutes.

Sound familiar?

Every AWS team hits these walls

Backups are configured but we've never actually verified they work

AWS bills surprise us every month — we can't track where the money goes

Preparing for audits is manual, stressful, and takes weeks of evidence gathering

We assume things are working correctly until something fails

Security groups get changed during incidents and nobody tracks what happened

Baseline Sentinel fixes this.

Continuous monitoring that catches problems early — no guesswork, no surprises.

How It Works

Three simple steps to visibility, security, and peace of mind

STEP 1

Connect AWS

Create a read-only IAM role (we provide the exact policy). No agents, no infrastructure changes.

STEP 2

Continuous scanning

We scan your infrastructure 24/7 for cost anomalies, backup gaps, security issues, and configuration drift.

STEP 3

Alerts + reports

Get instant alerts via Slack, Teams, or email. Generate compliance reports in seconds, not weeks.

Backup coverage

Backup gap detection

Instantly see which resources are unprotected. Generate AWS Backup policies automatically.

Compliance frameworks

SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CIS

Track compliance scores across frameworks. Generate audit evidence in seconds, not weeks.

Data is gathered through read-only AWS APIs across Config, IAM, Security Hub, Backup, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty so your evidence is traceable to source systems.

Optional Modules:

  • CloudTrail Archive: Detailed activity logs for investigation trails often requested by auditors.
  • VPC Flow Logs: Network traffic evidence for segmentation and incident review.
  • GuardDuty: Continuous threat detection findings for security controls and audit narratives.

You can also import GuardDuty findings into this view to correlate threat detections with compliance controls and remediation tracking.

Build vs Buy

Staffing cost vs monthly platform cost

Hiring a cloud automation engineer to build and maintain AWS monitoring/reporting automation typically starts around $100,000+ per year, plus tooling and ongoing maintenance overhead.

Build internally

  • Cloud automation engineer salary: $100,000+ / year
  • Time to design, build, test, and maintain dashboards
  • Ongoing maintenance for drift, backups, compliance evidence
  • Additional burden during audits and incident windows

Baseline Sentinel

  • Lower predictable monthly pricing per AWS account
  • Ready-made monitoring, backup checks, and compliance reporting
  • Fast setup with read-only IAM access
  • Immediate operational value without extra headcount
