Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for verifying a security and compliance standard of a multi-cloud environment based on a multi-cloud architecture diagram. Specially, the multi-cloud architecture diagram is parsed to verify the security and compliance standard checks. A list of resources and relationships are extracted from the multi-cloud architecture diagram and compared against an expected security standard compliance level. Any resources attributing non-compliance of the expected compliance level are identified by comparing the list of resources and relationships from the multi-cloud architectural diagram in a recursive and continuous manner. Only when security and compliance standard checks are satisfied/passed are the cloud resources deployed.
