From security blind spots to enterprise-ready and audit-ready
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 deals require security readiness
Security reviews are part of the sales process
Enterprise prospects expect clear answers about your security posture before moving forward.
Compliance audits feel out of reach
SOC 2 or ISO 27001 seems necessary but overwhelming without dedicated security resources.
Engineering can't stop shipping to fix it
Your roadmap is packed, and pulling engineers off product work isn't an option.
You're not alone. Here's how we help.
A practical lifecycle for building and maintaining enterprise trust
FIRSTBLOX supports teams across four stages, from understanding risk to proving trust externally.

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.

FIRSTBLOX works across your AWS environment and selected third-party systems to help teams prepare for security reviews and audits as they grow. Foundation services are available via AWS Marketplace.
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
We run 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
We give sales and compliance teams a clear, controlled view of security and compliance posture, helping them respond to enterprise security reviews more efficiently.
Mapped to the frameworks that matter
We map posture findings and cloud controls to SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, AWS FSBP, AWS Well-Architected and GDPR as part of audit and security preparation.
GDPR
EU regulation on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and European Economic Area.
ISO 27001
International standard for information security management systems (ISMS).
SOC 2
Audit framework for service organizations based on Trust Service Criteria covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
AWS Well-Architected
AWS best practices framework covering operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation, and sustainability pillars.
AWS FSBP
AWS Security Hub standard that detects when deployed accounts and resources deviate from security best practices, covering controls across multiple AWS services.
CIS AWS Foundations
Center for Internet Security benchmark providing prescriptive guidance for configuring security options in AWS, covering identity, logging, monitoring, and networking.

Built for startup teams using AWS as their core cloud platform.
FIRSTBLOX focuses on AWS environments while integrating with selected third-party SDLC and identity systems to surface findings, support remediation, and prepare teams for security reviews and audits. Foundations services are available via AWS Marketplace to support enterprise procurement.

HireBus
US-based hiring automation platform
"FIRSTBLOX helped us establish a secure AWS foundation quickly and with confidence. Their team understood the complexity of setting up the right structure and controls early, which allowed us to focus on building our product."
Nick Halverson
CTO, HireBus
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.
