Platform Coverage
Continuous detection coverage across your cloud
Varcio continuously watches AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud for wasted spend and risky configuration — across the services you already run in production.

What we monitor
Every check we run falls into one of these disciplines, regardless of which cloud it runs against.
Compute & Workloads
Right-size virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions, and surface capacity that's sitting idle or oversized for what it actually runs.
Storage & Backups
Catch orphaned disks, aging snapshots, and storage tiers that quietly cost more than the data sitting in them is worth.
Networking & Connectivity
Find unused IP addresses, idle load balancers, and data-transfer paths that are routing spend less efficiently than they should.
Databases & Caching
Flag oversized database and cache instances, unused replicas, and reserved-capacity commitments that aren't being fully used.
Security & Governance
Watch for overly open network access, missing encryption, and identity hygiene gaps — the kind of drift that turns into risk if it goes unnoticed.
Specialized Services
Provider-specific coverage for the services that don't fit a generic bucket — content delivery, managed app platforms, and commitment programs.
Coverage by cloud provider
Coverage depth varies slightly by provider based on the services available in each ecosystem, and it grows continuously as new services and patterns are added.

Methodology
How detection actually works
Not a single threshold trip — a pipeline built to be accurate, explainable, and safe on production accounts.
1
Secure connection
Scoped, read-only role. No static admin keys.
2
Continuous signal collection
Native telemetry, billing & config data. No agents.
3
Multi-factor analysis
Utilization + configuration + spend, combined.
4
Evidence-backed output
Severity, savings, confidence, and a fix — per finding.
Accuracy
Built for accuracy, not alert fatigue
Cost and governance tooling loses trust the moment it cries wolf. Every part of the pipeline is built around not doing that.
Every finding is scored
Confidence and risk calculated per finding, so your team triages by what's most certain first.
Evidence, not assertion
Every result ships with the metrics and resource context behind it — verify before you act.
Smart suppression
Resolved findings stay quiet for a cooldown window instead of immediately re-firing.
Deduplicated by design
Keyed to the specific resource and condition — the same issue never surfaces twice.
Workflow
From finding to fix
Detection is only useful if it closes the loop. Every finding has a lifecycle, an owner, and an audit-ready trail.
1. Detected
A check fires against live account signal and produces a scored, evidence-backed finding.
2. Triaged
Findings land in a governance queue with ownership, severity, and SLA-breach tracking — a real inbox, not a static report.
3. Resolved
Cost-backed findings route straight to a guided remediation flow; everything else is closed out with an audit-ready evidence trail.
Security-first
Built to be safe to connect on day one
We designed the connection model around the question every security team asks first: what is the blast radius if this integration is compromised?
Least-privilege, read-only access
Detection runs entirely on read-only, scoped roles — no write access needed.
Encrypted credentials, per connection
Identifiers encrypted at rest; every connection validated with a unique external ID.
Write actions are opt-in and gated
Remediation is a separate, permissioned capability behind an approval workflow.
Nothing installed in your environment
No agents or daemons. Everything runs through each provider's own APIs.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need write access to our cloud accounts?
No. Detection runs entirely on read-only, least-privilege roles. Write access is only ever requested for optional remediation actions, which are separately permissioned and require explicit approval.
How often does coverage run?
Continuously. Coverage re-evaluates as your usage and configuration change, rather than on a fixed monthly or quarterly cadence — so findings stay current without anyone kicking off a manual scan.
Do we need to install anything?
No agents, daemons, or sidecars. Everything runs against your cloud provider's own APIs from a secure, scoped connection you control and can revoke at any time.
How do you keep this from becoming another noisy alert feed?
Every finding is confidence-scored, backed by evidence, deduplicated to its underlying resource, and suppressed for a cooldown window once resolved — the same finding won't just reappear the next day.
Is this a replacement for our cloud security tooling?
No — it's a cost and governance layer that also surfaces configuration and access risk. It's designed to complement dedicated security and compliance tooling, not replace it.
How does coverage grow over time?
New checks are added continuously as cloud providers ship new services and as we identify new waste and risk patterns — coverage depth grows without any action needed on your side.
