Pass security reviews and prepare for compliance audits in weeks, not quarters
FIRSTBLOX helps teams understand their AWS security posture in minutes, establish secure foundations, and build the trust enterprise customers expect, without pulling engineering teams away from product delivery.
Designed for teams using AWS as their core cloud platform.Enterprise security expectations show up earlier than planned
Secure foundations weren't the priority
Early cloud environments are designed for speed, not security reviews or compliance audits.
Security questions increase
Larger customers ask for clear explanations of security posture, architecture decisions, and operational practices.
Engineering time is constrained
Security and compliance work must be balanced alongside roadmap delivery and operational demands.
At this point, teams usually need clearer structure and visibility.
A practical lifecycle for building and maintaining enterprise trust
FIRSTBLOX supports teams across four stages, from understanding risk to proving trust externally.
Scan
Understand your security posture in minutes
Get a fast, structured view of your AWS and select connected systems security posture across common control areas. Highlight what needs attention first so teams can prioritise effectively.
Posture insights in minutes
Remediate
Turn findings into secure foundations
Address priority gaps with AWS foundations that support clearer access boundaries, stronger account structure, and baseline controls aligned to enterprise expectations.
Typical delivery: 1 to 4 weeks, depending on scope
Operate
Maintain standards as teams and systems change
Support ongoing posture by tracking changes and highlighting drift against agreed standards. Keep security work predictable as new services and workloads are introduced.
Ongoing posture visibility and organization management as environments evolve
Prove
Respond to enterprise reviews with clearer evidence
Scattered documentation and inconsistent answers slow down enterprise deals and create unnecessary friction.
Reduce repeat work across deals and renewals.
Four ways we can help
Teams engage with FIRSTBLOX at different stages depending on their security posture, customer expectations, and internal capacity.
1. Discover
For Security Teams
Posture scanning to surface security and compliance findings
Assess your AWS environment and selected connected systems against recognised compliance frameworks. Generate findings reports to help teams understand exposure and prepare for security and audit reviews.
Multi-framework compliance mapping
Multi-account, multi-region AWS scanning
Selected third-party integrations (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, Google Workspace)
Risk insights and prioritisation support
2. Remediate
For Platform Teams
Implement essential and compliance-ready AWS foundations that support clearer account structure, access boundaries, and baseline controls as teams scale.
Multi-account AWS organization setup
Identity and access management with SSO
Audit-ready, Centralised Security, Threat Detection
Organization Visualizer UI for near real-time account visibility
3. Operate
Console
For Platform Teams
Maintain visibility as your platform evolves. Console brings together organization management, posture findings, remediation status, and change history across AWS and connected systems.
Centralised view of posture findings and status
Visibility into changes across environments and accounts
Real-time policy enforcement
Support for ongoing security and compliance oversight
4. Prove
Trust Centre
For Sales & Compliance Teams
Trust Centre provides a structured way to share posture summaries, evidence, and documentation with customers, partners, and auditors. Support enterprise security reviews without manually pulling information from multiple systems, while retaining control over what is shared and who can access it.
Customer-facing trust and security summaries
Controlled sharing of compliance-related information
Support for enterprise security questionnaires and audits
Designed to complement existing compliance workflows
Built for startup teams using AWS as their primary cloud platform.
FIRSTBLOX supports AWS environments and selected third-party systems to help teams prepare for security reviews and audits as they grow. Foundation services are available via AWS Marketplace. PostureX is in early access, with Console and Trust Centre planned for Q1 2026.
From blind spots to audit-ready with confidence
FIRSTBLOX helps teams move from fragmented visibility and reactive fixes to a clear, defensible approach to security and compliance.
Minutes
Understand your current posture
PostureX runs posture scans across your AWS environment and selected connected systems to surface findings and supporting evidence, helping teams quickly understand where attention is needed.
Weeks
From gaps to a secure foundation
Expert-led AWS foundations delivered using repeatable infrastructure-as-code building blocks, typically implemented in weeks rather than months of in-house effort.
Ongoing
Maintain audit readiness over time
Ongoing posture visibility helps teams identify risk and configuration drift early, reducing last-minute remediation and audit preparation work.
Faster reviews
Support enterprise security conversations
Trust Centre provides a clear, controlled view of security and compliance posture, helping sales and compliance teams respond to security reviews more efficiently.

The Challenge
Developer velocity was impacted by inefficient cloud access and slow deployment pipelines. Security controls were fragmented, compliance preparation had not yet begun, and the AWS foundation required to support a new AI platform was not in place.
The Solution
Multi-account AWS organisation with a secure, well-structured architecture
AWS SSO with centralised access control and threat detection
Centralised logging and audit trails to support security oversight
Regional CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure delivery
The Outcome
Improved development velocity, clearer security oversight, and a structured AWS foundation positioned to support security reviews and future compliance preparation.
