The Process

Three steps.
Under ten minutes.

Download the script. Run it yourself. Send us the summary. Nothing installed on our side, nothing stored.

01
Set up read-only access
Create a read-only IAM user in your AWS console using our minimal policy. Takes under two minutes. We cannot write, modify, or delete anything.
2 minutes · read-only
02
Run the script yourself
Download aegis_audit.py from GitHub or aegisaudit.cloud. Run it on your own machine: pip install boto3, then python3 aegis_audit.py. It scans all 17 regions and saves a free summary. Email it to us — no obligation.

Why It Works

Money first.
Planet second.

Small AI companies leak cloud spend structurally — a byproduct of how rapid experimentation actually works. We find it.

You keep every penny of savings
We charge a fee equal to annual waste found — capped at £250. If we find £5,000 of waste, you pay £250 and keep £4,750. The cap is the point.
£250 maxregardless of waste found
AI-specific waste patterns
Idle SageMaker endpoints, abandoned training datasets, orphaned Lambda triggers. The three checks no enterprise tool covers — and the most expensive things we find.
£2,800/moidle p3.2xlarge GPU endpoint
No waste found = no fee. Ever.
If your account is clean, we tell you and charge nothing. No minimum. No retainer. No commitment. The scan itself is always free.
Freeif nothing is found
In and out. No trace left.
The script runs on your machine with credentials you control. Delete the IAM user when you're done — one action removes all access. Nothing running, nothing stored, nothing left.

Why Customers Approve This

One scan.
Three outputs.

Cost savings get attention. The efficiency and impact evidence gets it approved — by finance, by the technical team, and by the ESG lead simultaneously.

01 · Financial Impact
£X,XXX
monthly waste recoverable
We find the waste to the penny. You keep 100% of the saving. Our fee is capped at £250 regardless of what we find. Immediate P&L impact — visible to finance on day one.
→ Speaks to: Finance · Founders · CTOs
02 · Operational Efficiency
kWh
estimated energy avoided · derived from findings
Idle compute burns real energy 24/7. We quantify the CO₂ impact and eliminate the source. Not an offset — an actual reduction. Scope 3 footprint reduced at source, with transparent assumptions in the report.
→ Speaks to: Technical leads · Sustainability teams
03 · Environmental Contribution
£200
allocated to ecological restoration per audit
80% of the audit fee funds verified native rewilding via Mossy Earth. Paid quarterly by direct invoice — not pledged, not promised. The Mossy Earth invoice is on file. ESG-reportable evidence of action.
→ Speaks to: ESG leads · Boards · Annual reports

For ESG teams: Your audit report is CSRD-ready evidence — a quantified saving, a CO₂ reduction at source, and a verified conservation contribution with invoice attached. Three outcomes. One document. No new tooling.

Security

Read-only.
Always.

We cannot modify, delete, or interact with any resource. Policy-enforced — not just an assurance.

Read-Only IAM
Describe permissions only. Cannot create, modify, or delete. Policy-enforced at the AWS level.
No Data Leaves
Your credentials are never transmitted to our servers. The scan runs against your own account.
No Credentials Stored
The script runs locally on your machine. Your credentials never leave your environment. Delete the IAM user when done — zero Aegis access remains.
No Installs. No Agents.
Nothing running after we're done. No background processes. No ongoing access of any kind.
