Taldian

Taldian is an infrastructure data ingestion and normalisation service. It collects data via 40+ integrations across cloud, network, identity, and enterprise systems, and runs either as a standalone CMDB or as an optional feeder that delivers normalised records to the AuditToolkit platform.

v1.2.5 Independent product
Licensing: Taldian is an independent product. It is not included in the AuditToolkit Platform licence and is not covered by a Platform subscription. Taldian is governed by Business Source Licence (BSL) 1.1 terms, with workspace-based limits rather than the Platform host-capacity model, and with separate managed-service and OEM provisions in its EULA.
