Cloudflare Connector

Use Cloudflare As a Review-Ready Evidence Source

Pull evidence from Cloudflare, preserve source and collection history, and map the output directly to the controls reviewers ask about. Aurora automates recurring collection where the connector supports it and keeps export-based handoffs clean where it does not.

Setup

Setup

A short path from connection to an exportable evidence bundle.

01
Connect Cloudflare
Sign-in method: Api Token. Read-only, least-privilege access.
02
Confirm Evidence Sources and Cadence
Confirm evidence sources and set cadence (every 1 hour).
03
Validate Capture (Read-Only Where Possible)
Validate evidence capture in read-only mode (where possible) before expanding workflows.
04
Map Evidence to Controls
Map captured artifacts to controls (3 mapped controls listed).
05
Bundle evidence when needed
Export an evidence bundle (ZIP) when you need an offline attachment. Aurora keeps the underlying source and timestamps so the work stays reusable.

Capture

What This Integration Captures

Evidence types and collection notes, based on the integration's published resources.

What Aurora monitors
10 continuous checks
Cloudflare posture and event data is being collected • Cloudflare config snapshots are tagged with the correct source
Evidence Aurora can collect
5 evidence types
App Config Snapshot • Audit logs and events
How it stays current
Incremental updates every 1 hour. Full refresh daily.
Checks update as new data is synced.
Checks
Automated checks Aurora can run
Checks map directly to common buyer requirements. Reviewers see the result as exportable evidence, not a screenshot.
Cloudflare posture and event data is being collected
Cloudflare config snapshots are tagged with the correct source
Cloudflare config snapshots include zone_name
Cloudflare config snapshots include ssl_mode
Cloudflare zones use a secure SSL mode
Cloudflare WAF is enabled on monitored zones
Cloudflare firewall rule counts are populated
Cloudflare security events are tagged with the correct source
Cloudflare security events include an event_type
Cloudflare security events include a timestamp

Reviewers

Why It Matters for Reviewers

A few ways this reduces follow-ups during audits and buyer reviews.

  • Reduces evidence follow-ups by attaching system exports directly to answers.
  • Keeps timestamps explicit for audit windows.
  • Makes sampling easier through evidence bundles.

Common questions

Cloudflare Integration Questions

Short answers to common evaluation questions.

Does this require admin access?
It depends on the evidence you choose to capture. We'll confirm required permissions during setup.
Can we control cadence?
Yes. In eligible plans, cadence is configurable.
Can we export evidence if a reviewer asks?
Yes. Export evidence bundles for offline attachments, or give reviewers structured access through Trust Center. Aurora keeps the source and timestamps so work stays reusable between reviews.
