Secure your Argo CD surface
GitOps sync state, auto-sync that masks manual changes, and an admin account with cluster-wide reach. We don’t connect to Argo CD to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Argo CD goes wrong
Argo CD goes wrong when applications drift out of sync: the cluster no longer matches git, so your git history stops being evidence of what runs.
- Applications out of sync, meaning the cluster no longer matches the declared state
- Auto-sync with self-heal disabled, allowing manual cluster changes to persist silently
- The built-in admin account still in use rather than SSO with RBAC
- Repository credentials scoped across all applications
- Applications permitted to deploy into any namespace or cluster
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Argo CD
On Argo CD we monitor sync status as a drift control and check whether self-heal is actually enabled.
- Sync status monitored as a drift control, because out-of-sync means your git history is no longer evidence of what is running
- Self-heal configuration reviewed, since without it GitOps documents intent rather than enforcing it
- Admin account usage tracked and moved to SSO-backed RBAC
- Project restrictions audited to constrain deployment destinations
- Repository credential scope reviewed per application
[03] Where It Lands
Where Argo CD lands in your registers
Repositories and pipelines become asset register entries with their own criticality, because a build system that can deploy to production is a production system. Access reviews cover repository and pipeline permissions alongside your other entitlements, and the risk register carries supply chain exposure — the dependencies you pull, the actions you run, and who can push without review.
[04] How We Engage
On Argo CD specifically
On Argo CD, we correct project restrictions and drive SSO adoption. Enabling self-heal and reconciling long-standing drift we stage with your platform team to avoid disrupting running services.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Argo CD FAQs
What Argo CD access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a read-only account or API token with permission to list applications, projects and repositories. That covers sync status, project restrictions and repository credential scope without any ability to trigger syncs.
Why does self-heal matter for compliance?
Self-heal matters for compliance because without it, GitOps documents your intent rather than enforcing it. A manual change to the cluster persists, git no longer reflects what is running, and the change-management evidence your auditor relies on stops being accurate.
