Security
Your Azure environment stays under your control.
CloudBound is deployed directly into your Azure subscription. Customer evidence, findings, reports, credentials, assessment history and storage remain inside your Azure environment.
- Your credentials
- Your storage
- Your Key Vault
- Your logs
- Your reports
- Your data
- Always under your control
The deployment model
Security begins with ownership.
Most enterprise software asks customers to send sensitive operational data to a vendor-hosted platform. CloudBound was designed differently. Instead of moving your technology data into our environment, CloudBound is deployed into yours.
The intelligence comes to the data. The data never has to come to us.
Trust required: theirs
Trust required: yours
Ownership
You own everything that matters.
Your credentials
Authentication remains under your control. CloudBound does not require permanent access to customer credentials.
Your Key Vault
Secrets remain inside your Azure Key Vault. CloudBound uses your existing security architecture rather than replacing it.
Your data
Assessment data, findings, reports and operational information remain inside your Azure environment.
Your storage
Storage accounts remain customer-owned. CloudBound never requires you to move operational data into a shared platform.
Your logs
Operational logging remains inside your environment. You retain visibility and ownership.
Your intelligence
The intelligence generated from your environment belongs to you.
Governance
Governed by design.
Least privilege, explainability, auditability and governed operations are not features added later. They are the starting conditions. CloudBound observes, analyzes, correlates and drafts. Drafting an artifact is not executing a change, and CloudBound does not autonomously execute changes within your environment. Any future write-back capabilities remain explicitly governed, attributable, auditable and under customer approval. As CloudBound's capabilities grow, that governance model is the foundation they inherit.
CloudBound was designed with a simple assumption: if CloudBound is ever compromised, that event should not become a compromise of your technology estate. Containment, not just prevention, was part of the architecture from the beginning.
Enterprise trust
Designed for enterprise trust.
CloudBound was designed so organizations can adopt Enterprise Technology Intelligence without relinquishing control of their data.
Enterprise security is not only about encryption. It is about minimizing unnecessary trust.
CloudBound reduces trust requirements by allowing organizations to maintain ownership of their environment while benefiting from Enterprise Technology Intelligence.
Every vendor you add is a boundary you extend. The strongest answer to that problem is not a longer questionnaire. It is an architecture that never asks you to extend the boundary at all.

The foundation
Built on Microsoft security.
CloudBound uses the controls your organization already operates, reviews and audits.
Customer-hosted deployment
The platform runs inside your subscription, under your governance.
Microsoft Entra authentication
Identity is handled by the directory you already trust.
Managed identities
Access is granted to the workload, not to a stored credential.
Azure Key Vault
Secrets stay in your vault, governed by your policy.
Role-based access
People see what their role permits. Nothing more.
Private networking
Traffic can stay on your network, without public exposure.
Audit logging
Activity is recorded in your environment, for your review.
Azure-native deployment
No new infrastructure model. It looks like the rest of your estate.
Customer-hosted by design
The platform runs where your technology already lives.
CloudBound was intentionally designed as customer-hosted software. This deployment model gives organizations greater control over the things a security review actually asks about.
It also allows organizations to adopt Enterprise Technology Intelligence without introducing another multi-tenant platform into their environment.

Today, CloudBound is intentionally customer-hosted. CloudBound will eventually offer a fully managed SaaS deployment for organizations that prefer a managed experience. It is not available today.
Questions
Frequently asked.
Where does CloudBound run?+
CloudBound deploys directly into your Azure subscription.
How are CloudBound's recommendations produced?+
Every recommendation is grounded in evidence from your own technology estate and is designed to be explainable. CloudBound identifies the systems, artifacts and telemetry that informed its reasoning, so recommendations can be reviewed, not simply accepted.
Does CloudBound support compliance frameworks like CMMC and NIST?+
Yes. CloudBound's continuous approach applies directly to compliance readiness: instead of preparing for an assessment once a year, organizations maintain continuous visibility into their posture against frameworks like CMMC and NIST 800-171.
Does CloudBound use AI models?+
CloudBound supports customer-approved models and delivers its intelligence through natural conversation. Your team interacts through the AI assistant your organization approves, from commercial assistants to privately hosted models, and your estate evidence stays inside your environment.
Who owns the data?+
You do. Your data, reports and findings belong to you.
Does CloudBound store our credentials?+
Authentication remains under your control.
Do you host customer environments?+
CloudBound is customer-hosted by design.
Can CloudBound operate in highly regulated environments?+
Because CloudBound deploys into customer-owned Azure environments, organizations retain control over their own security architecture and operational boundaries.

Enterprise ownership.
CloudBound doesn't ask customers to trust another security boundary. It helps organizations gain intelligence while remaining inside the one they already trust.
