Prowler is an open-source cloud security platform that performs security best-practice assessments, audits, continuous monitoring, hardening, and forensics readiness across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and other providers. It ships as a CLI scanner and a self-hostable web app/API, with hundreds of checks mapped to compliance frameworks like CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA.
Use cases
- audit my AWS account against CIS benchmarks
- scan cloud accounts for security misconfigurations
- monitor cloud compliance with GDPR and PCI-DSS continuously
- run security best practice assessments on Azure and GCP
- generate compliance evidence for audits
- harden cloud IAM configurations
- prepare for incident response and forensics readiness
When to choose
- you need multi-cloud security posture management (CSPM) without licensing costs
- you want automated compliance mapping to CIS, NIST, HIPAA, SOC2 and custom frameworks
- you prefer a CLI-first or self-hosted scanning tool
- you need continuous monitoring with integrations into your existing workflow
When to avoid
- you need runtime workload or container vulnerability scanning rather than cloud configuration auditing
- you want a fully managed SaaS with enterprise support and are fine paying for it
- your environment is entirely on-premises with no cloud providers
