What platforms does Prowler support?

Source: https://prowler.com/
Can Prowler be self-hosted?
Yes. Prowler can be deployed cloud / SaaS and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Source: https://prowler.com/
What does Prowler integrate with?
We have confirmed 17 integrations for Prowler, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, GitHub, Microsoft 365, Oracle Cloud and Alibaba Cloud, plus 9 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

What security certifications does Prowler have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR for Prowler. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Prowler not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Prowler, not the verdict.
