Government Cloud Overview & Support

What does InsightCloudSec support from GovCloud?

Review the full list of GovCloud-specific supported services on the Government Cloud Support Reference page.

How do I start seeing my GovCloud environment(s) in InsightCloudSec?

InsightCloudSec relies on a process called "harvesting" to pull data from various CSPs. Currently, InsightCloudSec only offers setup instructions for a single cloud account in AWS GovCloud. Review AWS Cloud - Onboarding for details.

Can customers running InsightCloudSec in GovCloud (self-hosted) harvest commercial account data/resources?

AWS GovCloud

Yes, however, customers must use a STS assume role operation instead of a traditional assume role. API calls cannot be made between AWS partitions (commercial/GovCloud/China) until a cross-partition STS assume role operation has been performed.

Can customers running InsightCloudSec in commercial cloud environments (SaaS and self-hosted) harvest GovCloud account data/resources?

AWS GovCloud

Yes, however, customers must use a STS assume role operation instead of a traditional assume role. API calls cannot be made between AWS partitions (commercial/GovCloud/China) until a cross-partition STS assume role operation has been performed.

AWS GovCloud Policies

InsightCloudSec offers several different AWS policies for harvesting resource information found in your AWS accounts and enabling InsightCloudSec features. Our universal onboarding experience will implement the appropriate policies automatically, so there's no need for AWS GovCloud-specific policies. Review AWS Policies for details.

AWS GovCloud Supported Deployment Regions

InsightCloudSec can only be deployed in AWS. For self-hosted customers, InsightCloudSec can be exclusively deployed/hosted in AWS GovCloud, if you so choose. For SaaS customers reach out to support for additional details on deployment.

AWS GovCloud Supported Services

Listed below are all of the AWS GovCloud services (and their components) supported by InsightCloudSec. In general if a service is supported by InsightCloudSec for GovCloud, we support it in any region in which the CSP provides the service. If you have questions related to AWS or specific services and their support, contact us through the Customer Support Portal.

Azure GovCloud Roles

InsightCloudSec offers a couple Azure roles for harvesting resource information found in your Azure accounts and enabling InsightCloudSec features.

Custom GovCloud Reader Role

If you are interested in operating in read-only mode, which prevents InsightCloudSec from taking actions against your Microsoft Azure GovCloud resources, then we recommend using the Custom GovCloud Reader Role. This role grants InsightCloudSec read-only permissions to supported resources so data is harvested and available for reporting. Using this role means you must manually update the role with each new Azure GovCloud service that InsightCloudSec supports.

The JSON file for this role can be obtained from our public S3 bucket. The JSON file includes a placeholder value for the subscription ID. This placeholder value will need to be replaced before implementing the role.

Custom GovCloud Power User Role

If you would like to use InsightCloudSec to manage your Microsoft Azure GovCloud resources directly or through the use of Bots, then use the Custom GovCloud Power User Role. This role will grant InsightCloudSec all permissions to supported resources so it can act upon cloud resources in addition to monitoring and reporting on them. Using this role means you must manually update the role with each new Azure GovCloud service that InsightCloudSec supports.

The JSON file for this role can be obtained from our public S3 bucket. The JSON file includes a placeholder value for the subscription ID. This placeholder value will need to be replaced before implementing the role.
