CGPulse is a multi-cloud governance platform for DevOps, security, and compliance teams managing Azure and AWS environments. It was built for the gap between enterprise CSPM platforms priced in five figures per year and free open-source scanners that leave you without workflow, ownership, or remediation tooling.
The platform continuously scans cloud resources against 621 policy rules - 305 Azure, 175 AWS, 16 cross-cloud, and 95+ organizational controls - mapped to 19 compliance frameworks: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, CIS v8, CIS AWS v3, FedRAMP, NIST CSF, and ten more. Findings are surfaced with evidence trails, severity, and actionable remediation copy.
Key capabilities:
Pricing starts free for a single Azure plus single AWS account; paid Team is €99/month and Business is €299/month with self-serve Stripe checkout. Onboarding takes about 60 seconds - connect cloud accounts via OIDC and first scan runs immediately.

RabbitGUICGPulse's answer
Three things. First, an MCP server. Claude or any MCP client can run compliance scans, read findings, and trigger auto-remediation through natural language. No other CSPM ships this. Second, public self-serve pricing (€99/€299/month, Stripe checkout, no demo required) in a category where the norm is six-figure enterprise contracts. Third, every finding ships with Terraform and Bicep templates so teams apply fixes through their own change management, not a vendor UI.
RabbitGUI's answer:
RabbitGUI is the missing desktop IDE for RabbitMQ. It offers a modern interface to manage your RabbitMQ clusters with a great GUI.
CGPulse's answer
Small and mid-size DevOps and platform teams, typically 10 to 200 people, running production workloads on Azure and AWS. Often they're preparing for their first SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit, or their first customer security review. Many have tried open-source scanners (Prowler, ScoutSuite) and found the detection useful but the workflow missing. Others have been quoted by enterprise CSPM and found it outside their budget. CGPulse is built for the gap between those two.
RabbitGUI's answer:
Developers who use RabbitMQ to manage asynchronous tasks and have multiple environments to manage (production, staging, local...). Experts can debug their routing and manually send messages while first timers can use the built in documentation to understand what is happening in there RabbitMQ cluster.
CGPulse's answer
It started a year ago with a simple wish: one clear view of what was actually running across my Azure and AWS accounts. Not console-hopping, a real map. Once the map was working, the obvious next layer was security. Not "here's a VM" but "here's a VM and here's what's wrong with it".
What I kept wishing for was honest answers with honest fixes. Not a red light on a dashboard, but guidance you can act on. Real automation where it's safe, and clear "do this, then this" steps where it isn't.
So a small scanner became a rule engine. Rules became compliance frameworks. Findings grew actual Terraform, Bicep, and CLI you can run. Then AWS support landed on top.
CGPulse today is a multi-cloud governance platform built around three promises: Connect, Govern, Protect. Connect your Azure and AWS accounts and see every resource in one view. Govern with 621 policy rules across 19 compliance frameworks. Protect with auto-remediation where it's safe and IaC export where the change needs human review.
RabbitGUI's answer:
I've been using RabbitMQ for about 10 years now, and while the web UI is handy, I've always found the experience frustrating. We all used to share scripts that would add JSON formatting and other small details to make it more practical.
At some point, I even tried proposing improvements or a revamp of the UI on the RabbitMQ Slack. The answer I got was "don't fix what is not broken", which in hindsight was obviously the right one. So I took a different route and built the tool I wished existed: a desktop IDE for RabbitMQ.

CGPulse's answer
Price and speed to value. Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca typically start at $50k/year with six-week rollouts and sales gatekeepers. CGPulse is €99 to €299 per month with public pricing and a 60-second self-serve onboarding. You get 621 policy rules across 19 compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS v8), the same category coverage, without enterprise overhead. For teams preparing their first audit, that's the difference between starting this quarter or next year.
CGPulse's answer
.NET 10 with Blazor Server for the portal. Azure Cosmos DB for tenant and scan data, Azure App Service plus Azure Functions for the backend, Azure Service Bus for scan orchestration. Cloud scanning uses the Azure ARM SDK and AWS SDK directly. No agents, no proxies. Stripe for subscription billing. MCP server built on the ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore library. Hosted entirely in Azure North Europe with per-tenant Cosmos partition keys.
