Mapping Infrastructure Resource Profiles and Sub-Processors Automatically
You know each entry is a piece of a larger chain, connecting first-party systems to a network of sub-processors that power your platform. The details matter. One unmonitored link can expose user data, slow deployments, or trigger compliance failures.
An Infrastructure Resource Profile is the complete map of your compute, storage, and network assets—combined with the services and vendors that interact with them. Sub-processors are third parties that process data or run workloads on your behalf. Together, these define the operational footprint of your system. Accurate profiles make it possible to track resource health, assess security posture, and verify compliance.
For engineering and compliance teams, documenting sub-processors is not optional. Laws like GDPR and CCPA require disclosure of who touches personal data, and under what terms. Cloud-native environments add complexity: containers spin up and down, API gateways route to different zones, and SaaS integrations process data in the background. Without a current profile, you can’t confirm the real scope of your sub-processor usage.
Effective management of Infrastructure Resource Profiles involves:
- Continuous discovery of resources and network endpoints.
- Automatic classification of service types and ownership.
- Tracking version changes and configuration drift.
- Linking resources to declared sub-processors in compliance registers.
Automated tools can scan your infrastructure, identify each dependency, and flag new or changed sub-processors instantly. With this visibility, you can act fast—removing unused services, updating risk assessments, and publishing accurate disclosures to customers.
The goal is operational clarity. Every resource and every sub-processor should be known, classified, and visible. This reduces risk, improves uptime, and strengthens trust.
