CSPM / CNAPP vs readiness consulting.
Use platforms to see; use senior engineering to decide, fix and prove.
| Aspect | CSPM / CNAPP | Readiness consulting |
|---|---|---|
| Primary output | Findings, scores, tickets | Remediation, baselines, evidence packs |
| Who runs it | Security/platform with a product licence | Senior engineer embedded for a scoped engagement |
| Audit usefulness | Screenshots and alert history (partial) | Control narratives, configs and testable artefacts |
| Stratoworks° sells | No CNAPP licence | Engineering & readiness only |
Where tools win
Continuous misconfiguration detection, identity graphing and workload scanning scale across accounts faster than any boutique can eyeball. If you already pay for CSPM/CNAPP, keep it-just do not confuse a green score with audit readiness.
Where consulting wins
Exception design, Terraform baselines, FinOps trade-offs that keep logging on, and bilingual evidence for German buyers. That is Stratoworks°'s lane-especially after a Quick Assessment ranks what to fix first.
Frequently asked questions
Will you resell Wiz, Lacework or similar?
No. We remain independent. We can work alongside whatever posture tool you already run.
Where should we start?
If findings are already piling up, book remediation-focused work. If you lack a baseline, start with the Quick Assessment, then decide whether a CNAPP licence is justified.
