Policy Governance

Catch governance drift before auditors do. StratoLens tracks every policy assignment change, compliance state transition, and exemption expiration across your Azure hierarchy, so you always know when something fell out of compliance and why.

The Problem

Azure shows you current compliance state, but not when things changed or why. That's a problem when auditors come knocking:

No History: You can see that a resource is non-compliant today, but not when it became non-compliant
Silent Policy Changes: Assignment modifications and deletions happen without anyone noticing until there's a gap
Exemption Surprises: Exemptions expire, resources suddenly become non-compliant, and nobody saw it coming
Hard to Prove Response Time: Auditors want evidence you detected and responded to compliance issues promptly

The Solution

Know exactly when compliance state changed and what caused it:

Policy Change Detection: See added, modified, and deleted assignments with scan-over-scan comparison
Compliance Transitions: See which resources became non-compliant (or compliant) between scans
Exemption Tracking: Track expiration dates so you can remediate before exemptions lapse
Full Hierarchy View: Policy assignments and initiatives from management groups down to individual resources
