Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to receive, at a user interface of a trust platform configured to manage cloud assets operating in clouds of two or more cloud service providers, a specification of security and compliance controls to be implemented for workloads of a given entity running on a subset of the cloud assets. The processing device is also configured to obtain, utilizing application programming interfaces of the trust platform, information characterizing deployed security and compliance controls for the subset of the plurality of cloud assets from first and second pluralities of monitoring tools operating in tenant and management environments of the clouds. The processing device is further configured to modify, utilizing the application programming interfaces of the trust platform, the deployed security and compliance controls responsive to determining that there are discrepancies between the specified security and compliance controls and the deployed security and compliance controls.
