ScoutSuite offers a focused way to turn cloud account configuration into a security-oriented report, but its inactive status means teams should verify provider coverage and maintenance needs before relying on it.
Good fit if
- You need point-in-time security reviews of AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform configurations.
- Offline inspection of collected configuration data suits your assessment workflow.
- Your team can work with a Python-based CLI and review the GPL-2.0 license terms.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a project with recent commits, releases, or active issue and pull-request handling.
- You require established support for one of the providers listed as alpha.
- Your use case needs continuous monitoring rather than a point-in-time assessment.

Overview
ScoutSuite is a multi-cloud security auditing tool that uses cloud-provider APIs to collect configuration data and highlight risk areas. It helps security consultants, auditors, and cloud teams assess an account's security posture without manually reviewing configuration across provider web consoles.
The tool produces a point-in-time assessment and an HTML report of findings and cloud account configuration. It supports AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, with alpha support for Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters on a cloud provider, and DigitalOcean. Collected data can be reviewed offline after the scan.
Key Features
- Collects cloud configuration data through provider APIs.
- Highlights security risks and presents a view of the account's attack surface.
- Generates an HTML report with findings and configuration details.
- Supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
- Includes alpha support for Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, cloud-provider Kubernetes clusters, and DigitalOcean.
- Provides tools for automating common tasks.
Use Cases
- Security consultants can produce a point-in-time assessment of a client's cloud account.
- Cloud security teams can review configuration risks across supported providers without browsing each console manually.
- Auditors can collect account data during an assessment and inspect the resulting report offline.
- Teams evaluating alpha-supported providers can explore the tool's coverage, while accounting for its early support status.

Considerations
The project is marked inactive: it has had no commits in over a year, no releases in the past year, and no merged pull requests in the recent period. Issue closure activity has also been limited. Although the contributor base is broad rather than concentrated around one person, teams adopting ScoutSuite should plan to validate compatibility and handle maintenance themselves if needed. Support for Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, cloud-provider Kubernetes clusters, and DigitalOcean is explicitly alpha. The repository is licensed under GPL-2.0, so review its obligations before incorporating or redistributing it.
