AWS Control Tower Description
For customers managing several AWS accounts and teams, establishing cloud governance can be intricate and time-consuming, which may hinder the innovation you are striving to accelerate. AWS Control Tower simplifies the process of configuring and overseeing a secure, multi-account AWS environment, referred to as a landing zone. By utilizing AWS Organizations, AWS Control Tower sets up your landing zone and provides continuous account management alongside governance and best practices gleaned from AWS's extensive experience with numerous clients transitioning to the cloud. With this tool, developers can effortlessly provision new AWS accounts with just a few clicks, all while ensuring that these accounts adhere to your organization's policies. Furthermore, AWS Control Tower enables users to implement governance across both new and existing accounts, allowing for rapid visibility into compliance statuses. This streamlining of processes ultimately fosters an environment conducive to innovation and growth.

Compliance work eats engineering time. Hyperproof exists to give that time back by automating the parts of GRC that don't need a human: pulling evidence out of GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow, Snyk, and cloud storage on a schedule, running recurring tests against high-frequency controls, and kicking off a task automatically the moment something fails instead of waiting for the next audit cycle to find out.
Under the hood, Hyperproof maps one control to 160+ frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST, and others), so a control tested once can satisfy several standards instead of forcing teams to rebuild the same work per framework. AI agents handle the first pass on evidence review and gap-flagging, leaving humans to make the actual judgment calls rather than hunting down documentation.
Teams using it report cutting audit prep by roughly 350 hours a year, a 66% drop in duplicate controls, and about $150K saved annually on control orchestration. It also scales to messier org charts, with the ability to scope controls by business unit or entity instead of flattening everything into one program.
Built in 2018 out of the Seattle area, Hyperproof is used by engineering and security-heavy orgs like Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, and Outreach that are tired of treating compliance as a manual, spreadsheet and email process and want it to run more like the rest of their infrastructure: automated, monitored, and auditable.
