What is cloud governance?
Cloud governance is the set of rules, policies, and processes that ensure your cloud usage aligns with business goals, security standards, and budget expectations. In CloudSpend, cloud governance goes beyond simple monitoring. It empowers you to define policies, implement access controls, enforce tagging standards, and track compliance across your AWS and Azure accounts. With real-time visibility and organizational mapping, you can reduce shadow IT, prevent cost overruns, and drive accountability across teams. Whether you’re managing a single project or a multi-cloud enterprise, CloudSpend makes governance simple, scalable, and effective.
