Remedi
Scan AWS for CIS issues and auto-fix them only after you approve each change.
Tagline
Scan AWS. Approve fixes. Sleep better.
CIS AWS scanning with human-approved fixes.
The cheaper alternative to giant cloud security suites.
Stop public buckets, admin users, and open ports.
CIS AWS posture scanning with built-in, human-approved remediation.
This is the most category-defining frame because the page explicitly centers CIS benchmarks, audit coverage, and approve-before-fix workflow. It differentiates Remedi from scanners that stop at reporting.
The alternative to paying for a heavy cloud security platform just to fix obvious AWS misconfigurations.
The product appears narrower and faster than broad CNAPPs like Wiz or Lacework. That makes it attractive for teams that need a practical cleanup tool, not an enterprise security program.
Stop leaving public S3 buckets, admin users, and open SSH ports to manual cleanup.
The landing page shows very concrete high-signal findings, so the strongest pain-killer message is about removing the exact misconfigurations teams fear most and doing it in minutes.
Primary user
DevOps or cloud security engineer at a startup managing a small-to-mid AWS footprint
ICP #1
CTO of a 20-100 person SaaS company with one DevOps engineer
Pain
They know their AWS account has drifted into risky territory, but every security fix competes with shipping work and no one wants to spend a day spelunking through IAM, S3, and VPC settings.
Why this solves
Remedi gives them a fast, benchmarked audit and makes the cleanup actionable by letting them approve each remediation instead of handing them a scary, opaque auto-fix tool.
ICP #2
DevOps engineer at a seed-stage startup inheriting a messy AWS account
Pain
They are expected to secure legacy resources quickly, but manually checking for public buckets, over-permissive roles, and missing flow logs is tedious and easy to miss.
Why this solves
The product scans the exact AWS surfaces where these mistakes live and surfaces concrete fixes like blocking public access, revoking admin access, and enabling flow logs.
ICP #3
Security consultant doing lightweight AWS assessments for clients
Pain
They need a repeatable first-pass audit that can quickly show obvious CIS gaps without spending hours on screenshots and manual checks.
Why this solves
Remedi bundles discovery, remediation suggestions, and verified fixes into a fast workflow that can be used as the starting point for client hardening work.
Strengths
- +The value proposition is immediate and concrete: scan AWS and fix findings, not just report them.
- +The example scan is strong because it names real misconfigurations like public S3 access, AdministratorAccess, and open SSH.
- +The trust language is good for a security product: least-privilege setup, no admin access required, encrypted credentials, and auto-expiry.
Weaknesses
- −The product story is too generic at the top; 'AI-powered AWS security scanning & auto-remediation' could describe a dozen tools.
- −It never explains who this is for, so a visitor has to infer whether it is for startups, consultants, or enterprise security teams.
- −There is no proof of accuracy, no benchmark comparison, no before/after metrics, and no credibility markers like compliance, screenshots, or customer logos.
- −The 'eight specialist AI agents' line sounds like marketing fluff unless you explain what each agent actually does or why users should care.
- −It is unclear how deep the remediation goes: are fixes limited to configuration changes, or can it modify policies, rotate credentials, and patch settings safely?
Fix these
- Replace the generic headline with a specific outcome-led promise, such as 'Find and fix the 20 most dangerous AWS misconfigurations in under 5 minutes.'
- Add a clear audience statement near the hero, such as 'Built for startups and small security teams managing AWS without a dedicated cloud security platform.'
- Show a real product screenshot or walkthrough of the remediation approval flow, not just example findings.
- Add quantified proof: number of checks, detection accuracy, time saved versus manual review, and how often fixes are verified successfully.
- Create a competitor comparison section that positions Remedi against Prowler for scanning and Wiz/Prisma Cloud for enterprise posture management.

Headline
Find and fix AWS risks fast
CIS scanning with human-approved remediation for small security teams.
See the risky stuff first
Remedi scans IAM, S3, EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, and CloudTrail for the AWS misconfigurations that actually matter. You get CIS-mapped findings, not a vague security score.
Approve every change
Nothing gets remediated until you review it. That keeps the workflow safe for founders and small DevOps teams that cannot afford surprise changes.
Fix issues and verify them
After you approve a remediation, Remedi applies the fix and checks that it held. You get confidence that the problem is gone, not just a green checkbox.
Set up in one click
Connect AWS through CloudFormation with least-privilege access and no admin permissions required. Credentials are encrypted at rest, expire after inactivity, and are deleted on sign out.
FAQ
What AWS services does Remedi scan?
It scans IAM, S3, EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, and CloudTrail in parallel, then maps results to CIS AWS Foundations benchmarks.
Does Remedi change anything automatically?
Only after you approve each remediation. The product is built around human-reviewed fixes, not blind auto-remediation.
Do you need admin access to connect AWS?
No. Remedi uses a least-privilege IAM setup through CloudFormation, so you do not need to hand over admin access.
Who is this for?
It is for startups and small security teams managing AWS without a dedicated cloud security platform, especially CTOs, DevOps engineers, and security-minded founders.
How do you handle credentials and data?
Credentials are encrypted at rest, expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, and are deleted on sign out.
Your AWS account has vulnerabilities. Remedi scans IAM, S3, EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, and CloudTrail against CIS AWS Foundations. Then it fixes issues only after you approve each change. Built for small teams that need cleanup, not another dashboard.
Public S3 buckets still happen daily. So do admin IAM users, open SSH ports, and missing VPC flow logs. Remedi finds the obvious AWS mistakes fast, shows you each fix, and verifies the remediation stuck afterward.
Watch AWS cleanup happen in minutes. 1. Connect with CloudFormation 2. Run CIS audit across 8 services 3. Review each finding 4. Approve the fix 5. Verify it held This is what security tools should have done years ago.
I built this after one ugly audit. The pattern was always the same: risky AWS settings, no time to fix them, and too much fear around auto-remediation. So Remedi only changes what you approve. Less drama. More cleanup.
One engineer can clean AWS now. That’s the whole point. Find the risky stuff, approve the fixes, verify the result. No giant platform rollout. No security theater. Just a practical way to get AWS back into shape.
Stop paying enterprise prices for basics. If all you need is to find obvious AWS misconfigurations and fix them safely, Remedi does that without forcing a full cloud security program on your team.
You do not need another false alarm. You need to know which AWS issues are real, what they affect, and how to fix them without breaking prod. That’s why Remedi shows the finding, the fix, and the verification in one flow.
Here’s the workflow founders want. Scan. Review. Approve. Remediate. Verify. That’s it. If your AWS security tool needs a training course, it’s too heavy for a small team.
The best security UX is boring. One-click setup. Least-privilege access. Clear findings. Approved fixes. Post-fix verification. No mystery AI. No black box. Just fewer dangerous settings in AWS.
CIS findings are painful to do manually. That’s why teams delay them. Remedi turns a half-day of AWS spelunking into a short review loop, so the cleanup actually gets done.
Angle: CIS scanning with human-approved remediation
Most AWS security tools do one of two things: 1. They give you a long report and leave you alone with it. 2. They auto-fix things and make you nervous about what changed. That gap is why I built Remedi. It scans an AWS account across IAM, S3, EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, and CloudTrail, maps findings to CIS AWS Foundations, and then lets you approve each remediation before anything changes. So instead of staring at a spreadsheet of misconfigurations, you get a workflow: - See the issue - Understand the fix - Approve it - Verify it held This is built for small security teams, DevOps engineers, and founders who inherited AWS and now need it cleaned up without turning security into a full-time project. If you’ve ever found public buckets, over-permissive IAM, or open SSH rules and thought “we should fix that this week,” this is for you.
Angle: Alternative to heavy cloud security platforms
A lot of startups do not need a massive CNAPP. They need to fix the obvious stuff: public buckets, admin IAM users, open ports, missing flow logs, weak CloudTrail coverage. That was the gap I kept seeing. Teams know their AWS account is drifting, but the tools in the market are often too broad, too expensive, or too heavy for a small team that just wants to get back to shipping. Remedi is narrower on purpose. It focuses on AWS posture scanning and human-approved remediation, with verification after the fix. No admin access required. One-click CloudFormation setup. Least-privilege access. Encrypted at rest. Auto-expire after inactivity. Deleted on sign out. The goal is simple: make AWS cleanup something one engineer can actually finish.
Angle: Concrete pain: obvious AWS misconfigurations
The scariest AWS issues are often the dumbest ones. A public S3 bucket. An IAM user with AdministratorAccess. An open SSH security group. VPC flow logs turned off. Nobody wakes up excited to audit those manually, and yet they are exactly the kinds of misconfigurations that slip through in small teams. Remedi was built to catch those problems fast, map them to CIS AWS Foundations, and make the cleanup less painful. What matters to me is not just finding the issue. It’s making the fix safe enough that a CTO or DevOps engineer can approve it without wondering what the tool will break. That’s why every remediation is reviewed first, then verified after. If you manage AWS for a startup, you already know this work matters. The problem is time, not awareness.

Tagline
Approve AWS fixes before they ship
Description
Scan AWS for CIS issues, review each finding, and approve fixes before Remedi changes anything. Built for small teams that need real cleanup, not a giant cloud security platform.
Maker's first comment
I built Remedi after seeing the same pattern over and over: small teams knew their AWS setup had risky misconfigurations, but the work to clean it up always got pushed behind shipping. Public S3 buckets, admin IAM users, open SSH rules, missing flow logs - none of it was exotic, but fixing it by hand was tedious enough that it lingered. A lot of security tools either stop at reporting or jump straight to automation that feels too risky. I wanted a middle ground: scan the account, show each issue clearly, let the user approve the fix, and verify that the change actually held. That’s the product. It’s not trying to replace a full security platform. It’s trying to make the obvious AWS cleanup work finishable for startups and lean teams.
Pinned maker comment
Would love feedback on the approval flow and whether the positioning is clear: is this a cleanup tool for startups, or does it read like another security scanner?
Meta
Targeting startup CTOs with messy AWS.
Hypothesis: startup CTOs and solo DevOps engineers will pay for a tool that finds obvious AWS misconfigurations and only remediates after approval. Remedi scans IAM, S3, EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, and CloudTrail, then lets you approve each fix before it runs.
Google Search
AWS CIS findings, fixed with approval.
Hypothesis: people searching for AWS CIS scanning want remediation, not just reports. Remedi checks your AWS account against CIS AWS Foundations, surfaces the risky stuff, and applies fixes only after you approve each change.
Reddit Promoted
Still cleaning AWS misconfigs manually?
Hypothesis: DevOps engineers and founders in small teams are frustrated by manual AWS audits and want a safer way to fix obvious issues. Remedi scans for public buckets, admin IAM, open SSH, missing flow logs, and more - then asks for approval before remediating.
