RUN · Workload Compliance Monitoring

Record what's running.
Prove it was compliant.

Kosli gives you runtime forensics for every environment: what is running, where it came from, and whether it was compliant. Running state is continuously recorded and reconciled against approved changes, so drift, rogue workloads, and unauthorized changes surface when they happen, not at the next audit.

Catch what gates and change records cannot: deployments that bypassed the process, drift from desired state, and systems nobody can audit. Get the complete record with Kosli.

Before

Nobody can say what is running right now. Checking it against what was approved means a manual audit. Bypassed deployments, drift, and unknown workloads stay invisible until something breaks.

After

Every environment change is recorded as it happens. Running state is continuously reconciled against desired state. Bypassed deployments, drift, and unknown workloads surface immediately.

Governance Infrastructure

Infrastructure designed for workload compliance assurance.

Governance Engineering applied to your running environments. Every environment change is recorded once, controls are automated with policy-as-code, with a full audit trail and governance metrics.

Know what's running, prove it was compliant

Kosli reconciles production reality across the whole lifecycle continuously. Every running workload is verified against the policies in real time.

  • Continuous compliance. Approved state and running state compared on every change, not at the next audit.
  • Every change traced to source. From the running artifact back through release, build, and commit.
  • Full environment forensics. Environment status is always audit-ready, not reconstructed from documents.

Track runtime supply chains

An SBOM in isolation describes an artifact. It says nothing about which environments are vulnerable. Kosli joins these two facts in one record: every running artifact in every environment, with the provenance, scan results, and reports attached to it.

  • Runtime SBOMs Snapshots record what is running. Kosli connects the SBOM and the scan report behind each artifact that is running.
  • Answer the zero-day question from one place. Find the affected workloads, pull their SBOMs and scans, and stop surveying teams for answers.
  • Ask it about last quarter too. The record keeps every snapshot and every attestation, so the same question can be asked as of any date.

Environment policies that run themselves

Kosli runs your environment policies as versioned code, evaluated against every snapshot, so each change is evaluated the moment it deploys and non-compliance is an alert instead of an audit finding.

  • Policy as code, per environment. Versioned policies say what has to be true to run where: provenance, tests, scans, pull request approvals. The same evidence always produces the same decision.
  • Enforced where changes land. A CI gate, the assert API, or a Kubernetes admission controller that rejects a non-compliant workload and names the requirement it failed.
  • Always audit-ready. Every decision is recorded as a fact when it happens, so proving compliance is a query rather than a collection exercise.

A time machine for every environment

Which change took the environment down? Kosli keeps an append-only history of every environment you report, whatever the runtime, so answering that is a diff, not an expedition through dashboards, logs, and tribal memory.

  • Any environment type, any point in time. Kubernetes and ECS clusters, Lambdas, S3 buckets, Docker hosts, physical and virtual servers: every type is recorded the same way, so you can see exactly what was running last Tuesday at 14:02.
  • Diff any two snapshots. Every deployment, scale event, and removal is attributed and timestamped, so the change that broke it is one comparison away.
  • Precise exposure windows. "When were we vulnerable?" gets an exact answer, not an estimate.

Frequently asked

Questions you might be asking.

Still curious? Talk to us →

  • How is this different from observability?

    Observability answers "is it healthy." Kosli answers "is it authorized, and can you prove it." Different question, different record. Evidence connected to approvals and policy, not metrics and traces.

  • We've locked down our supply chain. Isn't that enough?

    Secure base images, SBOMs, and golden paths reduce risk. None of them prove what is running, or tell you that something reached production without passing through them. Runtime reconciliation closes that gap: every workload checked against the evidence and policy behind it, whatever route it took.

  • What counts as an environment?

    Any runtime that holds artifacts. A Kubernetes or ECS cluster, a Docker host, a Lambda, an S3 bucket, even a directory on disk. Most teams have several types, and Kosli records them the same way. When something changes, a snapshot of everything running is recorded.

  • Instrumenting every environment sounds like a rollout program.

    Reporting an environment is one lightweight step from anything that can make an HTTP call. And Kosli Capture, in early access, inverts the model entirely. One read-only grant per cloud account and in-scope workloads appear in Kosli, nothing to deploy or maintain.

  • What happens when an unknown workload appears?

    It's flagged immediately, with the evidence trail showing what it is, where it came from if known, and exactly how long it has been running. You respond to a finding, not a suspicion.

  • What do auditors actually get?

    Live compliance status per environment, the full change log, and point-in-time reconstruction of any environment as of any date.
