Cloud governance intelligence
ArchMate unifies automated architecture reviews, security and compliance assessments, FinOps intelligence, resource inventory, and AI-powered infrastructure exploration in one platform.
Platform overview
The overview brings architecture risk, current spend, inventory, pillar health, and trends together so teams can decide where to look first.
A common starting point for cloud, security, finance, and leadership conversations.
Four connected capabilities
Each capability is useful on its own. Their greater value comes from sharing the same context across architecture, security, cost, and resources.
Architecture assurance
Assess workloads against the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework and move from a high-level risk score to the findings that need attention.
Security & compliance
Run security and compliance assessments, see risk by framework, and give engineering teams a clearer route from a control finding to remediation.
FinOps intelligence
Bring cost trends, service-level spend, anomalies, right-sizing, reservations, and optimization recommendations into the same operational view.
AI infrastructure chat
Use natural language to explore resources, costs, risk, and optimization opportunities without assembling the answer across multiple cloud consoles.
How ArchMate works
ArchMate provides continuous evidence and a shared operating view. Your team stays in control of priorities and remediation.
Use role-based access to connect the accounts and regions included in your review scope.
Inventory resources and organize evidence across workloads, architecture, security, and cost.
Run repeatable checks, surface findings, and track posture instead of relying on a one-time snapshot.
Prioritize recommendations, assign ownership, and measure improvement across review cycles.
A practical comparison
Cloud-native tools remain valuable. ArchMate adds a connected governance layer that makes their evidence easier to interpret, prioritize, and use across teams.
| Area | With ArchMate | Fragmented or manual approach |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture reviews | Repeatable assessment and pillar-level posture in one workflow | Periodic workshops, documents, and evidence gathered by hand |
| Security & compliance | Framework views connected to cloud findings and assessment history | Findings and control mappings spread across tools and spreadsheets |
| FinOps | Spend, anomalies, right-sizing, reservations, and recommendations together | Billing views separated from architecture and ownership context |
| Investigation | Natural-language exploration across infrastructure, risk, and cost | Multiple consoles, queries, exports, and manual correlation |
| Improvement | A shared baseline and review history for engineering, security, and finance | Point-in-time reports with limited cross-team continuity |
Frequently asked questions
The fastest way to understand fit is to start with your actual account structure, governance priorities, and assessment requirements.
Visit ArchMate.aiArchMate brings architecture assurance, cloud resource inventory, security and compliance assessment, FinOps analysis, reporting, and AI-assisted infrastructure exploration into one platform. Available depth depends on the connected cloud provider and enabled modules.
ArchMate automates evidence collection, checks, scoring, and repeatable analysis so teams can review more consistently and frequently. Expert judgment remains valuable for business context, tradeoffs, workload priorities, and remediation decisions; CloudVests can provide that support.
ArchMate supports a growing set of security and compliance frameworks, including AWS security best practices and widely used standards such as CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and FedRAMP. Confirm the exact framework and cloud coverage required for your environment during evaluation.
Yes. ArchMate is designed for multi-account and multi-region environments, including AWS Organizations. Connections use role-based access so the permissions and scope can be defined for the assessment and operational requirements.
The first useful output depends on account scope, permissions, and enabled modules. The recommended starting point is a seven-day value audit that establishes an initial architecture, security, and cost baseline for your environment.
