AWS Security Agent Quick Start
The Fastest Time to Value with AWS Security Agent
$1,950 USD | 2-3 Business Days
Get AWS Security Agent configured and running - design reviews, code reviews, and penetration testing - without the setup headaches.
Why This Matters for Compliance
AWS Security Agent catches the same issues professional penetration testers and auditors flag - but continuously, not annually.
By shifting security left, you address findings before they become audit failures, reducing last-minute compliance scrambles and getting more value from your compliance budget.
Who This Is For
Teams preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI audits who want continuous security validation without the setup friction. Works for applications hosted anywhere: AWS, other clouds, or on-premise.

Security requirements tuned for your industry (not just AWS defaults)
First-run findings reviewed by an AWS Security Hero for validity and compliance relevance
Summary documentation for your records
