Built for teams already running AWS Security Hub

From AWS findings to fixes you can prove.

HardenAxis turns Security Hub, Config and Prowler findings into safe, IaC-aware changes — reviewed, applied, re-checked against AWS, and kept as audit-ready evidence.

The real bottleneck

Findings aren't the hard part.

AWS produces security signals — Security Hub, Config, Prowler and IAM Access Analyzer all generate findings. For smaller teams without a dedicated cloud security engineer, the hard part is deciding what actually matters, what to harden first, how to remediate it safely, and whether the problem was actually fixed.

Alert fatigue is real — but it's a symptom

A public S3 bucket, a wildcard IAM role and a cross-account trust policy — a genuinely toxic combination — can sit unnoticed in a queue of thousands of findings. That's alert fatigue. But volume isn't the root problem: even teams that read every finding still lack a safe way to act on it and prove it's closed.

How HardenAxis works

One engine, five stages

HardenAxis runs on a single shared security engine, not five disconnected scanners. Each stage below is labeled with where it actually stands today — see /platform for the full picture.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Connect a read-only, cross-account role and get a prioritized snapshot of your AWS security posture from Prowler OSS and IAM Access Analyzer.

  2. 02

    Prioritize

    Findings get correlated with the context that determines real risk, not ranked by severity alone.

  3. 03

    Harden

    A prioritized finding becomes an IaC-aware change — a Terraform PR or change set — with blast radius and rollback spelled out before anything is applied.

  4. 04

    Verify

    The fix is re-checked directly against AWS, and the finding → PR → deploy → recheck chain is kept as attributable evidence.

  5. 05

    Monitor

    Verified controls are watched for drift, telling a reverted fix apart from a genuinely new problem.

Why HardenAxis

We complete Security Hub. We don't compete with it.

A layer on Security Hub, not a replacement

HardenAxis consumes Security Hub, Config, IAM Access Analyzer and Prowler as sensors. It doesn't rebuild their control catalog or correlation engine — it picks up where they hand off: deciding what to do next.

IaC-aware remediation, not just instructions

Instead of a checklist, HardenAxis proposes the actual change against your Terraform or CloudFormation — with blast radius and a rollback path spelled out before anything is applied.

Evidence with provenance, not a generic rescan

Every fix carries an attributable chain — finding, ticket, PR, deploy, AWS recheck, and who approved each step — kept as audit-ready evidence, not just a status flip.

Product family

Two products. One engine.

HardenAxis ships two products today, plus one capability still in research. Nothing here is presented as available unless it is.

Security Snapshot

Available

A free, read-only assessment of your AWS account against CIS and AWS Foundational Security Best Practices — the fastest way to see where you actually stand.

Hardening Advisor

Beta

The core paid product: prioritized findings, IaC-aware remediation with rollback, and AWS-verified evidence. The scanning engine is real; the prioritization and remediation layer is what beta customers are helping us finish.

Drift Monitoring

Research

Continuous detection of drift on verified controls. This is a research-stage idea — it has no page of its own yet and isn't available to try.

Access, on your terms

Read-only by design

HardenAxis connects through a cross-account IAM role created by CloudFormation, scoped to the minimum permissions needed — never AdministratorAccess, ReadOnlyAccess or SecurityAudit as a shortcut, and never access to secrets or business data.

  • A unique ExternalId per installation — no confused-deputy risk
  • Short-lived STS sessions; no credentials are ever stored
  • Ephemeral, single-tenant scan workers — no workspace reuse across customers
  • Raw AWS responses are processed in memory and discarded after normalization
