AI-Powered Cloud Security Platform
Client Profile
Venture-backed security startup, seed to Series A
Building an end-to-end cloud security product from zero to market, including AI-powered analysis and compliance automation.
The Challenge
The founders identified a gap in cloud security tooling: existing solutions generated cryptic alerts that security teams couldn't prioritize, while compliance was handled through separate, manual processes. They had domain expertise and initial customer validation, but needed a team to build the entire technical product—scanning infrastructure, AI analysis engine, and user-facing application.
Why a Long-Term Partner
Security products require a rare combination: deep AWS expertise, AI/ML engineering capability, and understanding of compliance frameworks. The founders wanted to focus on go-to-market and customer development while a dedicated team handled technical execution. They needed a partner who could own the entire technical stack.
Our Approach
- Built agentless scanning architecture requiring only CloudFormation deployment
- Developed custom LLM pipeline for translating security findings to business context
- Integrated graph database for attack path analysis and visualization
- Implemented multi-framework compliance mapping (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, CMMC)
- Designed for enterprise multi-tenancy from day one
Technical Solution
Agentless scanning infrastructure covering 40+ AWS services with no root access required. AI analysis engine using fine-tuned language models grounded in actual scan data—no hallucinated findings. Neo4j graph database for mapping IAM relationships and identifying attack paths. CloudWatch integration for real-time attack pattern detection. Next.js dashboard with industry-specific compliance views that automatically map findings to relevant frameworks.
Why Continuity Matters
Security products are never finished—the threat landscape evolves continuously. New AWS services, emerging attack patterns, and updated compliance frameworks all require ongoing development. The partnership model allowed us to transfer knowledge to the client's growing internal team while continuing to advance the product.
- Launched production product in 8 months from zero
- Reduced customer security audit preparation time by 80%
- AI analysis accuracy exceeds 95% with zero hallucinated findings
- Secured Series A funding based on product traction
- 15-minute deployment time for new customers
