Your cloud works. It will not pass review.
We engineer AWS environments that hold up under security review — identity, network, data and logging — and then we attack them ourselves, before anyone else gets the chance.
We engineer the controls. We do not sell you an audit.
Where cloud security reviews actually fail
Reviews rarely fail on encryption settings. They fail on four questions nobody can answer with evidence.
Who can reach what
Roles accumulate for years. Nobody can state what a given role can touch, so nobody can prove what it cannot.
Blast radius
One compromised credential, one flat network, one shared account. The question is not whether it happens. It is how far it gets.
No evidence
The controls exist. The proof does not. Reviewers ask for a trail and get a screenshot.
Nobody watching
Logs land in a bucket that nothing reads. An alert that wakes nobody is not monitoring.
Engineering, not a findings document
The difference matters, so here it is plainly.
- A scanner output, reformatted.
- Several hundred findings, unranked.
- Remediation left to your team.
- Valid on the day it was written.
- We write the Terraform and raise the pull request.
- We rank by blast radius, not by severity label.
- We attack the result to show the control holds.
- You get the runbook that keeps it true.
How an engagement runs
Scope varies with the size of the estate. The order does not.
What you walk away with
Four things, all of them in your account and your repositories.
An identity model you can explain
Least-privilege roles, written as code. For any role, you can state what it reaches and show why.
A contained blast radius
Account and network boundaries that stop a single compromised credential from reaching everything.
An attack report
What we tried, what held, what did not, and the change that closed it. Your reviewers read the attack, not a claim.
Monitoring somebody reads
Alerting that reaches a person, with a runbook that says what to do when it fires.
How we work
Three commitments that sit in the agreement, not in the pitch.
Your account, your code
Everything runs in your AWS account and lands in your repositories. There is nothing of ours to remove later.
We are engineers, not assessors
We do cloud security engineering, application security, adversarial testing and governance. Where you need an accredited assessor, we work alongside yours.
Ranked by blast radius
We fix what an attacker would reach first. You are never handed four hundred findings and left to guess.
We didn't read about this. We operate 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, and we carry the pager.
Start with the free review
If you are not ready to scope an engagement, take the Well-Architected Review first. We review one workload against the six pillars, hand you a ranked fix list, and charge nothing for it.
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 and give them the evidence.
Only through your own change process. We start read-only, then raise pull requests against your infrastructure repositories. Your team reviews and merges. Nothing changes because we typed it.
Credential and permission escalation, lateral movement between accounts and networks, data access paths, and whether your logging and alerting notice any of it. Scope and targets are agreed in writing before we start.
AWS is where we are deepest, and it is where our partner status and certifications sit. We have built and operated across Azure and GCP through Automatum's marketplace integrations, so a mixed estate is familiar ground. Tell us the shape of yours on the call.
Scope drives it, so we quote after we have seen the estate. The free Well-Architected Review is the cheapest way to find out — it costs nothing and it tells us both what the real work is.
Ready when your security team is.
Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson. We will tell you what we would fix first.
