Well-Architected Review, no fee →

We build cloud and AI that survives your security review and stays in production.

Your account. You own everything. Start with a free review.

Most enterprise cloud and AI work fails on controls, cost and ownership — not on the technology. We engineer it, attack it ourselves, secure it, and hand it over running in your account.

Most AI projects die in pilot. Ours ship, because we build them, break them, secure them, and then run them.

Your pilot worked. It's been six months.

The demo impressed everyone. Then came the security review, the cost projection nobody believed, and the question of who owns it. So it sits there — not cancelled, not shipped.

This is the normal outcome. Most agents that do reach production run without full security approval, without monitoring, and without a named person accountable for what they do.

What we do differently

One process, scoped narrow, in production. Not a prototype.

02.
Break it

We attack the agent before anyone else does. You watch.

03.
Secure it

Its own identity, least-privilege scope, guardrails, audit trail, monitoring.

04.
Run it

You built nothing you now have to staff. We operate it.

Teams that trusted us with their AWS accounts

We didn't read about this. We shipped it.

tMinus1 built Automatum — multi-tenant SaaS, metered billing, marketplace integrations across AWS, Azure and GCP. 80+ software companies run their marketplace revenue through it. We still operate it.

Services

Five services, one question each. Start with whichever one is yours.

Well-Architected Review — free

One AWS workload, reviewed against the six pillars, with a fix list ranked by consequence. We pay for it. You keep the findings either way.

See the free review

AWS Cloud & Cloud Security

Identity, segmentation, encryption, logging and alerting — engineered as code in your repositories, then attacked by us before anyone else tries.

See cloud & security

Gen AI Consulting

One process, built, broken, secured and handed over running in production — with the evidence pack your security team needs.

See Gen AI consulting

AI Training

Hands-on workshops in your own codebase. Your engineers build an agent, attack it, harden it, and keep everything they wrote.

See AI training

AWS Cost Review — free

9 in 10 accounts we review identify 30% or more in recoverable spend. Read-only access. No engineering work required. We do the analysis, you make the call.

What does tMinus1 actually deliver?
+

Working cloud infrastructure and AI systems in production. We build, harden and operate — documents come with the code as the evidence your security team needs, never instead of it. The one exception is the free review, which is a document by design.

Will this pass our security review?
+

That is the goal of every engagement. We engineer the security posture, test it adversarially with your team watching, and the handover includes an evidence pack — test results, IAM policies, audit logging, monitoring — built for your approval process.

Can AWS fund part of my project?
+

It may. As an AWS Advanced Tier Partner we can apply for proof-of-concept funding on qualifying projects. We tell you in the first call whether your project is likely to qualify. Funding is at AWS's discretion and is never guaranteed.

Who owns what you build?
+

You do. Everything we build runs in your AWS account and lands in your repositories. If you stop working with us, you keep the system, the runbook, and the evidence pack.

Do you replace our auditor or assessor?
+

No. We do cloud security engineering, application security, adversarial testing and governance. Where you need formal certification or accredited assessment, we work alongside your assessor.

How do we start?
+

Book a technical call. Thirty minutes with an engineer — we pick the process, tell you what we'd build first, what it costs, and whether AWS funding may apply.

The plan

Three moves. You make the first one.

Book a technical call

Thirty minutes with an engineer. We clarify the work and its cost drivers. A written quote follows once the scope is clear; AWS funding may apply to qualifying projects.

An agreed scope and timeline

We agree the deliverables and schedule for your service. For production builds, we build, test and secure it with your team.

It runs. You own it.

You keep the findings, code or training materials. Production builds include monitoring, a runbook and a named owner. We operate them if you want us to.

Ready when your security team is.

Book a technical call

Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson. We'll tell you what we'd build first and what it costs.
