Margin
Cloud spend without ownership is spend without accountability. Resources accumulate, bills grow, and no team has the context — or the incentive — to clean them up. Disipate makes every dollar attributable, which is the prerequisite for controlling it.
Risk
Every unowned resource is an unreviewed resource. As compliance frameworks tighten and cyber insurance scrutiny increases, security surface area has direct financial implications. A smaller, well-attributed cloud footprint is a more defensible one.
Talent efficiency
If a FinOps hire is on the roadmap, Disipate determines whether that hire starts with clean data or spends six months building it. It either delays the need for the role entirely or makes the hire dramatically more productive from day one.
Why ownership is the root issue
Most cloud cost and security problems trace back to the same root cause: resources that don't have a clear owner.
When a resource has no owner:
- No team is responsible for optimizing or eliminating it
- No one reviews it during security audits
- Finance can't allocate its cost to a team or product
- Engineering can't explain it when asked
This isn't a technical failure. It's a governance failure. And at AWS spend of $50,000 per month or more, it compounds quickly.
What Disipate does
Disipate establishes ownership across your cloud environment automatically. It identifies who is responsible for each resource, surfaces that information to your teams, and enables the cost and security improvements that ownership makes possible.
Visibility for finance
Every resource attributed to a team, product, or workload. Cloud spend becomes a line item finance can interrogate — not a black box they have to accept.
Accountability for engineering
Teams see what they own and what it costs. Cost awareness becomes part of how engineering operates, not a separate function that reviews their work after the fact.
Defensibility for security
Security findings are routed to owners who can act on them. The attack surface shrinks as unowned, unreviewed resources are identified and addressed. Integrates with AWS Security Hub and Wiz.
Commercial terms designed to align incentives
Disipate's pricing is structured around a simple principle: we should only get paid when you benefit.
Early adopters: free
Disipate is currently free for qualifying organizations in exchange for a case study documenting outcomes. Case studies can be fully anonymized. This is the right entry point for teams that want to validate results before any commercial commitment.
Savings-based pricing
Longer-term pricing is tied to the savings Disipate identifies — not a flat fee regardless of outcome. Disipate's incentives are aligned with yours.
Subscription option
For organizations that want ongoing tagging, resource management, and security visibility as a continuous service, a monthly subscription model is also available.
The risk of approving this is low. The risk of not is real.
The early adopter program means the decision to start carries no budget risk and no long-term commitment. The permission model is narrow by design — Disipate reads billing data and writes only its own tags, with human approval required before any change.
The risk of not acting is harder to quantify but easier to recognize: cloud spend that grows faster than revenue, security posture that nobody can fully account for, and a FinOps hire who arrives to a mess instead of a foundation.
