Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A line item showing ORCA* CLOUD SECURITY on a corporate credit card statement indicates a billing transaction from Orca Security Inc. for an Orca Cloud Security Platform Subscription. Orca Security provides agentless SideScanning technology designed to detect vulnerabilities and compliance risks across Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure environments. Enterprise engineering teams deploy the platform alongside alternative cloud infrastructure protection tools like Wiz Cloud Security or Palo Alto Prisma Cloud to secure multi-cloud assets.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears when your organization pays for its annual software licensing or when usage exceeds pre-purchased workload limits. Orca calculates subscription fees based on the total number of monitored cloud workload assets and virtual machines. Because procurement teams frequently use corporate cards for software-as-a-service accounts, these payments process automatically on scheduled renewal dates or when adding extra coverage modules.
Unreviewed registry note: If you do not recognize the charge, check with your internal DevOps or IT security managers to verify whether a team member created an account. You can verify active subscriptions by logging into app.orcasecurity.io with your corporate single sign-on credentials and checking the billing settings. If someone used your card without company authorization, reach out to Orca billing support and contact your credit card issuer to dispute the unauthorized charge.
