Built for engineers, founders, and operators

Designed for teams that need practical AWS risk visibility without hiring a full compliance department first.

Serverless-first monitoring

Focused on AWS services and controls that commonly create security, spend, and audit friction in startup serverless environments.

Evidence support, not certification claims

Guard3r helps teams prepare cleaner evidence and reduce exposure. Auditors still make the compliance determination.

How Guard3r Works

Connect AWS once, then run a 3-part loop: continuous monitoring, alert-driven review, and evidence reporting.

Guard3r uses secure, tenant-scoped cross-account access to inspect configuration and posture signals, generate findings, and retain evidence records that support internal reviews and auditor conversations.

01

Connect AWS Securely and Start Monitoring

Use a guided cross-account role setup with external ID protections. Guard3r uses least-privilege access to begin scheduled AWS posture monitoring and evidence collection.

02

Review Findings and Alerts After Each Run

Guard3r runs continuously on a defined schedule, prioritizes findings by severity, and notifies your team after each run so alerts can be reviewed before they become incidents or audit blockers.

03

Retain Evidence and Generate Review-Ready Reports

Guard3r keeps evidence linked to findings for traceable AWS security and audit-readiness reviews, and supports reporting workflows. Pro can optionally retain evidence in your own S3 bucket.

Coverage Focus

Practical AWS checks that improve security posture and reduce audit friction.

Guard3r focuses on high-value checks for startup and SMB AWS environments, prioritizing control hygiene and exposure reduction over vanity metrics.

IAM & Access Hygiene

  • Root account protection and MFA checks
  • Privileged access exposure and wildcard policy review
  • Trust policy and external ID safety checks

S3 & Data Exposure

  • Public access block posture
  • Encryption and versioning baseline checks
  • Signals that affect data durability and review readiness

CloudTrail & Auditability

  • Trail coverage and logging status
  • Validation, retention, and destination hardening checks
  • Fallback guidance when telemetry is not configured

Databases & Platform Controls

  • DynamoDB and RDS/Aurora baseline checks
  • Encryption, backup, and exposure posture
  • Network and security group exposure signals

Why Teams Choose Guard3r

Built to reduce risk, surface cost waste, and keep teams prepared without noisy outputs.

Reduce exposure fronts

Find and address risky configurations that expand attack surface before they become incidents or audit findings.

Move faster with clear prioritization

Severity, rationale, and remediation guidance help small teams focus on the highest-impact issues first.

Support auditor conversations with evidence

Keep structured evidence records linked to findings so review cycles are more efficient and less reactive.

Scale with your AWS usage

Queue-backed scanning and tier-based scheduling support growth from solo builders to multi-account startup teams.

High ROI monitoring

Automate technical evidence collection for a fraction of the cost of manual oversight or external consultants.

FAQ

Common questions from startup teams and small firms evaluating Guard3r.

Does Guard3r make us SOC compliant?

No. Guard3r is not a certification service and does not issue compliance opinions. It helps you detect risks early, reduce exposure, and prepare evidence for auditor review.

Do we need to give Guard3r broad access to our AWS account?

Guard3r uses tenant-scoped cross-account access patterns with external IDs. The goal is least-privilege scanning access, not full administrative control. Evidence collection is metadata-oriented and designed to avoid pulling application payloads or PHI.

Can Guard3r help if we are not using every AWS service?

Yes. Guard3r emits fallback signals when a service is not configured or not in use, so your team can distinguish missing telemetry from healthy posture.

Does Guard3r help reduce AWS costs too?

Yes. In addition to risk findings, Guard3r highlights operational cost-saving opportunities tied to AWS configuration and usage hygiene so teams can prioritize both security and spend efficiency.

Does Guard3r ingest customer application data or PHI?

No. Guard3r is designed for metadata-only posture and configuration evidence collection. The platform is built to support zero-PHI workflows by collecting control and service-state signals rather than business payload data.

Who is Guard3r best for?

Startup teams, solo founders, and small firms running on AWS who need practical risk visibility and better audit preparation without a large in-house compliance program.
