Governance that keeps teams fast and your cloud under control

emma embeds policies, guardrails, and traceability into the way your teams already work—across clouds, kubernetes, and on-prem—so you reduce risk and audit effort without turning every change into a ticket.

What your organisation can do with emma governance

Establish policies, enforce compliance, and ensure cloud infrastructure adheres to regulatory standards and organizational rules.

Define clear boundaries

Use projects as the core unit of governance and accountability. With projects, you can:

- govern per product, team, business unit, and more
- scope which clouds, regions, and environments are allowed
- attach specific policies, budgets, and security rules
- separate experimental, production, and regulated workloads

Enforce policies at deploy time, not in a review queue

Policies are most effective when they run automatically—where changes actually happen. emma lets you:

- embed policy checks directly into UI provisioning, API calls, IaC, and CI/CD
- block non-compliant deployments before they hit your estate
- standardize encryption, network segmentation, tags, and instance types

Control access with project-scoped RBAC

Access usually grows organically until it’s a risk. With emma, you can:

- define project-level roles (e.g. operator, owner, auditor)
- separate central platform responsibilities from local team access
- restrict high-risk operations to specific personnel or groups

Embed governance into cloud, Kubernetes, and on-prem—consistently

Governance fails when every environment is treated differently. Apply the same governance model across:

- multiple clouds and accounts
- Kubernetes clusters and namespaces
- on-prem and private cloud environments

Support sovereignty and regulatory constraints by design

For regulated workloads and strict data residency, emma lets you:
- limit projects to specific countries, regions, or providers
- enforce data residency and sovereignty at deploy time
- integrate access and residency rules with your governance model

Provide audit-ready logs and evidence on demand

When auditors, customers, or internal risk ask “how do you know?” emma has the trail:

- see who deployed or changed what, where, and when
- view which policies were in effect for each project and workload
- export evidence aligned to how your organisation scopes responsibilities (by project, BU, or jurisdiction)

How can your team benefit?

Embed policies, guardrails, and traceability into everyday cloud operations—across every environment.

What's the governance problem?

Most governance arrives late and lands like a brake. Teams either slow down to stay compliant or move fast and hope for forgiveness later.

policies

Policies live in PDFs

There is a fundamental disconnect between the rules written in governance documents and the code being deployed. As a result, approvals turn into ticket queues and manual reviews.

drifts

Environment drifts

Deployments start from a "golden image" or a standard template, but ad-hoc changes occur after deployment. Access grows over time and nobody is quite sure who can change what.

Audits

Manual auditing

The system state is drifting and approvals are manual, resulting in no single source of truth for compliance. Compliance becomes a reactive, stressful "fire drill" rather than a continuous state.

emma

Governance as an operating model

Standards without slowing delivery: Apply security, compliance, and residency rules automatically at deploy time.

‍Security and multi-cloud control: Use projects and RBAC to define policies—across clouds and environments.

‍Continuous compliance: Move from point-in-time checks to always-on governance, with audit-ready logs.
