    KloudSec Is Live. This Is My Fight for Every Company That Isn't a Giant.

    A lone figure with a glowing shield facing a towering price tag, representing small companies fighting for the same cloud security as large enterprises

    I launched KloudSec.

    If you've followed Toc Consulting for a while, you know why: across years of AWS security consulting, I kept watching the same unfair pattern play out. Big companies could afford real security, a team, a stack of tools, the budget to tie it all together. Small companies got left with whatever they could scrape together, or nothing at all. Not because they cared less about security. Because the tools were built for people with enterprise budgets, not for them.

    That's the fight KloudSec is here for. Giving small and growing companies the same depth of protection that only the richest organizations could afford until now. Agentless, live in 5 minutes, real pricing you can see instead of "contact sales," a genuine free tier instead of a crippled trial.

    What KloudSec Actually Does

    KloudSec brings cloud posture management, Infrastructure as Code scanning, application code scanning, secrets detection, and compliance mapping into a single platform, agentless, connected through a read-only CloudFormation stack in about 5 minutes.

    • Continuous scanning across 90+ AWS services with 400+ security checks
    • Infrastructure as Code scanning for Terraform and CloudFormation, checked on every pull request
    • Application code SAST across 11 languages, taint-aware, mapped to the OWASP/CWE Top 25
    • Secrets detection across cloud resources and GitHub repositories
    • Compliance mapping across 9 frameworks: CIS, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, DORA, and FFIEC
    • A free, native CLI, so scanning and compliance checks fit directly into a CI pipeline, not just a dashboard

    AWS is where it starts, not where it stops. GCP and Azure support are already on the roadmap.

    I'm Not Just Asking You to Read About It

    I'm asking you to try it, and to help it grow.

    Connect one AWS account, free, no credit card, and see what it finds. If it's useful, tell someone. Share it with a founder, a DevOps lead, anyone fighting the same uphill battle you are. That's how something like this grows, not through a large marketing budget, but through people who believe the same thing I do passing it along.

    If you've got more than one AWS account and want to put it through its paces properly, email me directly at hello@kloudsec.io. I'll set you up with coupons myself, no sales call, no back and forth, just making sure you can actually test it the way you need to.

    This is a small fight against very large, very well-funded competitors. I don't have their budget. What I have is a product built by someone who's lived this problem, and a community of people who might believe, like I do, that good security shouldn't be a privilege reserved for whoever can afford it.

    Try it. Break it. Tell me what's wrong with it. That's how we win this.
