No one reviewed the setup
The cloud account was set up in a hurry years ago: keys never rotated, ports open to the whole internet, backups no one has ever tried to restore.
The problem
The alarm goes off. No one is listening.
The alerts exist, but no one reads them
Detection services are already running in your cloud. They flag the attack in time… to an inbox no one opens.
An audit is an old snapshot
The consultant’s PDF describes how things looked the day it was written. A week later someone opens a port and no one notices.
The platform
Four modules. In the order an attack happens.
We start with the cloud account, the key to everything, and finish with your ability to recover.
Cloud account
Root account, identities and MFA, detection and logging, cost alerts, storage, databases, network, secrets, ransomware-proof backups and organization policies.
10 areas · 49 controlsRepositories
Identity and access, tokens and deploy keys, visibility, leaked secrets, code integrity, webhooks and activity audit.
7 areasApplication code
SQL injection, brute force and authentication, secrets in code, XSS and CSRF, dependencies, error handling, validation and file uploads.
7 areasServer
Exposed files, TLS/HTTPS, SSH access, firewall and network, updates, services and environments, logs, backups and security headers.
9 areasRecover when everything else fails
Immutable backups, a copy in another region, defined recovery times and restore drills. Module in expansion.
33 areas and dozens of verifiable controls, each with its explanation, its acceptance criteria and the evidence that it is met.
Artificial intelligence
Agents that work every day. You decide what changes.
Each module has specialized agents. They review, compare against the last run, prioritize and prepare the fix for you. They learn your infrastructure: with every cycle they know your infrastructure better.
Cloud auditor
Walks through your account with read-only permissions and records the state of every control.
Inventory and cost
Finds servers, disks, IPs and load balancers no one uses that are still being billed.
Repository watcher
Checks access, protected branches and secrets leaked in your code.
Code reviewer
Looks for the most common web application flaws (OWASP Top 10) and points you to the file and line.
Server scanner
Checks from the outside what anyone on the internet can see of your server.
Remediator
Prepares every fix with the before state, the change and how to roll it back.
Alert analyst
Translates cloud alerts into plain language: what happened, who did it and what to do.
Forensics
If something already happened, it rebuilds the timeline with evidence and preserves it.
How it works
Connect, audit, fix, monitor.
- 01
Connect
You grant read-only access to your cloud and repositories. That access cannot change anything, and you can revoke it whenever you want.
Read-only - 02
Audit
The agents work through all four modules and set your baseline. You get findings ranked by risk, not a list of 300 alerts.
Baseline - 03
Fix
Every fix arrives ready: what changes, why, and how to roll it back. You approve it, it gets applied and logged.
With your OK - 04
Monitor
The engine runs the same audit again. If someone opens a port on Tuesday, you know on Tuesday.
Continuous
What sets it apart
Consultants deliver a PDF. Security OS fixes it and proves it.
A security improvement you cannot measure is an opinion. Security OS compares two runs of the same audit engine, before and after, control by control.
| Control | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| MFA on every cloud user | Fail | Fail |
| SSH open to the whole internet | Fail | Fail |
| Secret scanning in repositories | Fail | Fail |
| Main branch protection | Pass | Pass |
| Backup restore test | Fail | Fail |

Bonus
The audit also finds money.
Almost every cloud account older than three years piles up servers, disks and backups no one uses. No one turns them on, but they keep billing every month. The inventory agent finds them and proposes what to shut down.
US$170
recovered per month · over US$2,000 a year
On our latest project, cleaning up forgotten resources cut the client's cloud bill.
- 10+ forgotten serversStopped or idle, still billing every hourongoing cost
- ~1.3 TB of duplicate disks and backupsVolumes and copies not attached to any servicestorage
- 1 load balancer + 1 NAT gateway asleepNetwork components running with no traffic~US$50 / month
- 5 unused static IPsThe cloud charges for every idle reserved addressidle charge
- Inactive databases moved to snapshotsA frozen copy costs far less~US$5 → ~US$1
Real case
From response to hardening.
01
The attack
Ransomware in a software company’s cloud deleted data and stole information.
02
The response
WITS contained the attack, restored operations and preserved the evidence to understand what failed.
03
The hardening
We rebuilt the account’s defenses, control by control, so it never happens again. That work is now Security OS.
The alarm went off, and no one was listening. Security OS is the one listening.
Who it is for
For teams that live off their software.
- 01SaaS and startups with customers who trust their platform and no one dedicated to security.
- 02Agencies and software shops that run the cloud for several clients.
- 03E-commerce that stores customer and payment data.
- 04Companies with in-house systems no one has reviewed since launch.
- 05Teams that already had a scare and don’t want a second one.
What Security OS does not do
- ×It is not a 24/7 SOC with analysts watching screens.
- ×It is not a certification (ISO 27001, SOC 2), but it leaves you the evidence those audits ask for.
- ×It does not replace a black-box pentest when your industry requires one.
- ×It does not provide legal advice.
Legal documents are reviewed and drafted with the support of legal specialists. WITS identifies needs and risks but does not provide legal services.
Plans
Start with an assessment. Stay for the monitoring.
You know what each phase costs before it starts.
Assessment
Audit of all four modules, ranked findings, a remediation plan and your baseline.
Fixed price
Remediation
Prioritized fixes applied with your approval, plus the before-and-after comparison.
Based on the assessment findings
Monitoring
Recurring audits, alerts in plain language, access and change reviews, and a monthly report against your baseline.
Monthly, based on the size of your infrastructure

Frequently asked questions
What people ask before connecting their cloud.
What is Security OS?
Security OS is the security audit and remediation platform by WITS, a Mexican software and AI company. Its specialized agents review cloud, repositories, code and servers with read-only access, prepare every fix and prove it with a before-and-after comparison.
Do you need admin access to my cloud?
No. The audit runs with read-only permissions. Fixes are applied one by one, with your approval, and logged.
Which clouds, servers and repositories do you support?
AWS in depth, traditional VPS servers, for example on IONOS, and repositories on GitHub. If you use another cloud or platform, tell us in the form and we’ll let you know what the assessment covers.
Can the AI break something?
It applies nothing on its own. It prepares every fix with its rollback; you decide whether it gets applied.
What data do you read?
Your infrastructure’s settings and metadata: who has access, what is open, how it is backed up. Not the contents of your databases or files.
I already had an incident. Can you help?
Yes. The forensics agent reconstructs what happened and preserves the evidence before it expires: cloud logs are deleted after 90 days.
Does it help with a certification?
It does not grant certifications, but it organizes the evidence an ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit asks for.
How much does it cost?
The assessment has a fixed price; remediation is quoted based on its findings, and monitoring is monthly, based on the size of your infrastructure. We give you scope and price on the first call.
