Connect your AWS account with read-only access. GreenPilot pulls usage and billing data, runs waste detection, estimates emissions, and surfaces a ranked list of actions. You decide what gets actioned.
Four capabilities covering the main reasons European SMEs lose money, miss emissions reporting signals, and carry unnecessary cloud governance risk.
Detect idle, oversized, and underused AWS resources before they become recurring waste. Identify savings potential without touching production.
GreenPilot analyses EC2 utilisation, S3 storage patterns, RDS sizing, EBS volumes, and unattached resources. Findings are ranked by estimated monthly cost impact and implementation effort.
GreenPilot estimates cloud-related CO₂e from your AWS usage data and regional electricity grid intensity. You see which regions, services, and configurations drive your footprint — and where optimizations reduce it.
Estimates use publicly available data from the IEA, EMBER, and the European Environment Agency, mapped to AWS regions. The carbon methodology is under active development — estimates are indicative. Read the methodology →
GreenPilot flags cloud configuration observations relevant to GDPR data residency, NIS2 risk posture, and CSRD emissions reporting. It doesn't replace your legal team — it gives them better data to work with.
Governance observations cover: cloud region usage vs. stated data residency requirements, configuration patterns relevant to NIS2 cyber risk, and emissions signals usable in CSRD reporting workflows.
Every optimization runs only after you sign off. Review each recommendation individually, approve or defer, and track what changed. Nothing touches production without explicit approval.
During the paid optimization phase, approved actions execute through controlled workflows. Rollback planning is included per action. Audit logging is on the roadmap.
GreenPilot doesn't replace your legal or compliance team. It gives them better data: cloud region usage, configuration state, emissions estimates, and flagged risks — structured for GDPR, NIS2, and CSRD reporting contexts.
Visibility into cloud regions, data residency decisions, and access patterns relevant to GDPR-aligned cloud operations. Flags configurations that may conflict with stated data residency requirements.
GDPR-aware workflowsEstimates and documents cloud-related emissions signals to support sustainability reporting workflows aligned with CSRD expectations. Carbon estimates are indicative — not a substitute for audited sustainability accounting.
CSRD-ready reportingSurfaces cloud configuration risks and operational dependencies that may support stronger cyber-risk management and NIS2-aligned practices. Covers resource exposure, access patterns, and dependency mapping.
NIS2-aligned insightsGreenPilot supports governance workflows. It does not guarantee regulatory compliance and does not provide legal advice.
Four components: read-only data collection, a rule-based optimization engine, a dashboard for reviewing recommendations, and a controlled workflow for actioning only what you approve.

Native AWS tools give you data. Enterprise FinOps tools are built for large teams. GreenPilot is built for SMEs: cost analysis, carbon estimation, EU governance flags, and an approval workflow that a small team can actually operate.
