CoreStack Participates in AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights Preview
Makes software procurement faster, easier, and more secure, substantially reducing vendor security assessment time from months to hours
CoreStack, a global cloud governance provider that empowers enterprises to unleash the power of the cloud by enabling continuous and autonomous cloud governance at scale, announced that it is participating in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace Vendor Insights preview, which streamlines the complex third-party software risk assessment process by enabling sellers to make security and compliance information available through AWS Marketplace, a curated digital catalog that customers can use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services to build solutions and run their businesses. CoreStack’s NextGen Cloud Governance solutions — FinOps, SecOps and CloudOps — are now available via a unified web-based dashboard as part of AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights to give customers access to security and compliance information.

“We created AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights to serve customers that need help validating third-party software that meets their compliance needs,” said Jason Timmes, General Manager, AWS Marketplace Seller Services. “We are glad to see CoreStack participating in the Vendor Insights preview and their commitment to trust and transparency. Companies like CoreStack work with AWS to showcase their validated security profile, saving customers months of effort, reducing the software risk assessment lead time for customers while assuring them of continuous monitoring of vendor security.”
Using Vendor Insights can help buyers reduce assessment lead time to a few hours by allowing buyers to access the vendor’s validated security profile, saving months of effort from questionnaires and back-and-forth with vendors. The dashboard also provides evidence backed by AWS Config and AWS Audit Manager assessments, external audit reports, and software vendor self-assessments to help customers perform continual compliance monitoring.
“Vendor Insights provides ongoing visibility and alerts about the vendor’s security hygiene,” said Satyam Patel, Vice President & Chief Information Security Officer at [24]7.ai. “Using Vendor Insight notifications helps us remove the need for periodic reassessments and brings in agility in the procurement process.”
