Compliance built in, not bolted on

Every control is active before your first workload lands

In a typical platform build, compliance controls are retrofitted — FIPS gets enabled after a finding, STIGs get applied before an audit. SmoothGlue ships every control as part of the install. Kyverno enforces DISA STIG admission policies before any pod runs. Istio mTLS encrypts all inter-service traffic. SBOM generation runs automatically on every pipeline build. Your ISSO can assess posture on Day 0, not at the end of a months-long hardening sprint.

Continuous ATO posture

Continuous ATO — always auditable, not just at audit time

Platform Custodian drift detection · 2026 Corporate Goal 1.2.1

Traditional ATO is a point-in-time event — demonstrate compliance once, then drift accumulates between audits. SmoothGlue's Platform Custodian continuously scans and remediates: re-applies drifted STIG policies, rotates expiring certificates, flags residual risk that requires human sign-off. Compliance evidence is time-series data from Loki — not screenshots taken on audit day. Your ATO package documents a posture that was maintained continuously, not re-assembled before each review.
