Contain a compromised AWS access key with one approval

A secure form and one Slack approval trigger automatic deactivation of a compromised AWS key and a full security report.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

When you suspect an AWS access key has been compromised, every minute of delay increases your exposure, but shutting off access without approval feels too risky to do alone. You need a fast, controlled way to contain the damage without waiting on someone to be free.

Who it fits

IT and security teams responsible for cloud infrastructure who need a fast, controlled incident response.

How it works

  1. You report the suspected key compromise through a secure form
  2. The request is sent to Slack for a team member to approve
  3. Once approved, the affected access key is deactivated immediately
  4. Existing temporary credentials tied to that key are invalidated
  5. AI reviews the affected policies and generates a full security report for your team
What you get

Compromised keys deactivated with one approval

You get a compromised AWS access key deactivated immediately after one Slack approval, with a full security report ready for your team.

What you get

An immediately deactivated key, invalidated credentials, and a written security incident report.

What you need

An AWS account with IAM access, an Anthropic (Claude) API key, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
