How to Enable the CSPM Dashboard
Validated on 26 Feb 2026 • Last edited on 27 Feb 2026
The DigitalOcean Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) dashboard lets you scan your DigitalOcean resources for cloud misconfigurations and security risks. The dashboard lists issues by severity and provides mitigation steps for resolving them.
To enable the CSPM dashboard, go to the Control Panel and switch to the Team whose resources you want to scan. Then click Security in the left menu, open the CSPM tab, and click Enable scanning for your team.
Then, select from the following plans:
| Tier | Scan Frequency |
|---|---|
| Free | Once |
| Basic | Monthly |
During public preview, all plans include full findings, guided remediation, and a security advisor summary. Once you enable a CSPM plan, it currently cannot be changed.
To confirm your choice, click Start Scan. Scans take a few minutes to complete and create no downtime for your resources.
