Welcome, and Let's Get Started

Welcome to Cygna Auditor, a comprehensive platform for auditing your on-premises and cloud systems from a single location. Cygna Auditor consolidates audit data across your environment so you can search, report, export, and alert on everything that matters — all in one place.

Beyond auditing, Cygna Auditor brings automated configuration control and risk analysis to your environment. By continuously monitoring for misconfigurations and risky events, it ensures you always have a clear picture of what is happening across your infrastructure and are alerted before issues become incidents.

Cygna Auditor documentation is designed to assist you whenever you have a question about the product or auditing in general. The most up-to-date documentation is always available online at https://docs.cygnalabs.com.
