Cloud Compliance Pulse 2025 – Unosecur
In today’s enterprise landscape, boards are under growing pressure to simultaneously accelerate innovation and avoid high-profile security breaches. Yet most publicly available cloud security research lacks the credibility leaders need—relying heavily on self-reported surveys with little technical validation or broad applicability.
To provide a more accurate and defensible snapshot, we analyzed posture data from 169 organizations that completed our free Identity-Security Posture Test between January 1 and June 30, 2025. From this pool, we selected a stratified random sample of 50 firms, achieving 90% confidence with ±10% precision while ensuring balance across industry verticals, geographies, and primary cloud providers.
Unlike traditional surveys, our methodology relies on automated technical scans, each mapped directly to global compliance standards, including:
- ISO 27001/27002
- PCI DSS v4
- SOC 2
- CIS Controls v8
- GDPR
All data was pseudonymized in line with GDPR, ensuring privacy while enabling reproducible, regulator-grade insights.
The findings represent the first statistically balanced, control-aligned view of how cloud identity and access hygiene is performing across real environments—not just reported intentions. This data empowers security leaders to:
- Benchmark posture maturity
- Identify gaps in machine and human identity governance
- Justify budgets and roadmap decisions with hard evidence
- Walk into audits with confidence, not anecdotes
This report marks a shift from opinion-based security metrics to a data-pure foundation for enterprise identity security strategy in the age of cloud and automation.
