Argus documentation
Cloud posture, always in view
Argus is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). It continuously scans connected cloud accounts against hundreds of security checks, turns every failure into a prioritized finding with remediation guidance, and tracks compliance posture over time.
Nothing to install
Argus scans from the outside with read-only credentials. For AWS the recommended path is an assumed read-only IAM role scoped by an External ID that Argus generates. No agents, no sidecars, no write access.
Prioritized findings
Every failed check becomes a finding ranked Critical to Info, tied to the affected resource, with a risk explanation and step-by-step remediation. Filter by severity, service, region, or what changed since the previous scan.
Compliance posture
Scan results map onto CIS, AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001 and HIPAA, each with a 0-100 score, per-requirement drill-down, and downloadable reports.
Scheduled or on demand
On the Pro plan, accounts are scanned on demand or on a daily schedule. The Overview dashboard condenses posture into a single score with its weekly change, your weakest frameworks and where you are exposed.
