Guardrails
Cloud Governance Guardrails
Definition
Guardrails are preventive and detective controls applied organization-wide in cloud environments to enforce baseline security and compliance policies. Preventive guardrails (implemented via SCPs or Azure Policy deny effects) block creation of non-compliant resources, while detective guardrails (AWS Config rules, Azure Policy audit effects) identify existing compliance violations.
Landing zone frameworks like AWS Control Tower include a catalog of mandatory and strongly recommended guardrails.
