Platform
Governator is now Cloudivence
The Azure governance platform GenioCT built continues under a new name, with its own website and a sharper focus: figures you can defend, findings with an owner, and the evidence behind both.
What changed
The name
Governator was the working name of GenioCT's platform. The product is now Cloudivence. The engine inside it is the same.
The focus
Financial governance comes first: the invoice reconciled, cost allocated with its history, budgets and forecasts. Security assurance and ownership rest on the same model.
The claims
Cloudivence describes only what the product does today, and labels pilots and planned work as such. Some things this page used to promise are on the roadmap rather than in the product.
What Cloudivence does today
Three areas on one model of your Azure environment, read with Reader roles only. It runs in assisted pilots.
Financial governance
- ✓The CSP reseller invoice reconciled with Azure cost data, month by month
- ✓Cost allocated to budget lines and owners through reviewed change sets, with history
- ✓Budgets, run rate forecasts, a budget planner and reservation use
Security and assurance
- ✓Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, network, storage and backup state read for the same resources
- ✓Findings grouped when their source proves they are the same issue, and closed when they are proven gone
- ✓CyberFundamentals 2023 and NIS2 Article 21 evidence, with attestations and an Excel evidence pack
Ownership and evidence
- ✓Who answers for each budget line, now and on any past date
- ✓Every figure opens on the invoice lines and the rule behind it
- ✓Missing evidence stays visible as missing
What stays from the Governator vision
Governator set out to govern Azure as one system: cost, security, ownership, identity and compliance on one model. That remains the direction. Part of it is built. The rest is on the roadmap, without dates: anomaly detection, privileged access analysis, DORA, CyberFundamentals 2025, automatic routing of findings and ticketing integration. Cloudivence will describe them when they work.
Why GenioCT built it
GenioCT builds and reviews Azure platforms for organisations that have to defend how they run them. The same three questions came back on every engagement: which figure is right, who answers for it, and where is the evidence. Answering them by hand did not scale, so we built the tool the work needed. Cloudivence is that tool, now a product in its own right, and the consultancy remains its first and most demanding user.
Guides that stay here
These pages explain Azure evidence for the frameworks Governator was built around. They stay online and now say what Cloudivence covers today.
The demo
The interactive demo, with Fictive Corp data, still runs the Governator version of the product. It moves to the Cloudivence name when it is updated.
