The Problem

80% of cloud breaches start with a misconfiguration

DevOps teams move fast. Security drifts quietly. By the time an alert fires, the exposure window is already measured in weeks — not minutes.

● The Status Quo

Alert fatigue without remediation

  • $100K+ CSPM tools that flag issues but don't fix them
  • Engineers spend hours triaging noisy security alerts
  • Mean time to remediate: 5–30 days — while exposure grows
  • Config drift between deploys goes undetected for weeks
  • $4.35M average breach cost — 80% trace back to misconfiguration
● The Guardrail Way

Automated scoring + instant remediation

  • From $2K/mo — built for teams who ship fast, not Fortune 500 security budgets
  • Scans 7 AWS services against 32 misconfiguration rules continuously
  • Auto-remediates critical findings — no ticket, no delay
  • Security score your whole team can track sprint over sprint
  • Compliance frameworks (HIPAA, PCI, SOX) mapped automatically
How It Works

Three steps. No security hire required.

01

Connect

IAM read role + STS validation. No agents, no sidecars, no infrastructure changes. Guardrail is scanning your AWS account in under 10 minutes.

02

Score

32 misconfiguration rules across S3, IAM, Security Groups, CloudTrail, KMS, RDS, and Lambda. One security score. Prioritized findings your team can actually act on.

03

Fix

Critical issues auto-remediated with safe rollbacks — no oncall page, no war room. What can't be auto-fixed gets a clear runbook and owner assignment.
