Add Provider
The Add Provider module allows you to securely connect your Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) accounts with Socify’s platform. This integration enables automated compliance monitoring, scanning, and Browse Findings directly from your cloud environments.
Why We Need Your AWS Credentials
When integrating a cloud provider such as AWS or GCP, the platform requires specific credentials. These credentials are used strictly for:
Securely connecting your cloud account to Socify.
Authenticating and authorizing access for scanning and monitoring.
Fetching compliance data, evidence, and risk insights directly from your cloud environment.
Ensuring your credentials remain encrypted and never shared with third parties.
