Turbot Guardrails Enterprise (TE) v5.56.0 - Introducing Preventive Security Posture Management (PSPM)

Jan 14, 2026TE

What's new?

This release introduces Preventive Security Posture Management, a new approach to cloud security that shifts from reactive detection to proactive prevention. Rather than discovering misconfigurations after deployment, Guardrails now helps you block risky changes before they reach your cloud environments.

Key capabilities include:

  • Visualize your preventive posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP with dashboards that highlight gaps and anomalies.
  • Assess prevention maturity against industry benchmarks like CIS and NIST, with scoring from Level 0 (no prevention) to Level 5 (defense in depth).
  • Simulate policy impact by testing against real CloudTrail data before enforcement, so you can see affected accounts and resources without production risk.
  • Deploy controls with prescriptive recommendations, ready-to-use policy JSON, and tailored guidance while tracking effectiveness over time.
