Product Introduction
- Definition: Hiro is an agentic security and compliance automation platform. It is a technical SaaS product that functions as an autonomous engineering agent, connecting directly to a company's development, cloud, and compliance tools to perform security work.
- Core Value Proposition: Hiro exists to eliminate the manual toil and alert fatigue in modern application security (AppSec) and compliance programs (like SOC 2). Its core proposition is to automatically close security and compliance gaps—shipping fixes, implementing controls, and generating evidence—rather than just generating more alerts and tickets for human teams to handle.
Main Features
- Autonomous Security Gap Closure: Hiro proactively identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, then autonomously implements fixes. How it works: It integrates with tools like Aikido and Wiz for findings, scans live infrastructure (Supabase, Vercel, AWS), and code repositories (GitHub). For low-risk issues, it applies fixes directly; for riskier changes, it creates detailed, context-rich Pull Requests (PRs) for engineer review.
- Compliance Control Implementation & Evidence Generation: Hiro translates abstract compliance controls from platforms like Vanta and Drata into concrete technical implementations. How it works: It reads open control gaps, connects to systems (AWS, Okta, Google Workspace, GitHub), implements the required settings (e.g., enforcing MFA, tightening IAM roles, enabling logging), and automatically maps the completed work to auditor-ready evidence packets containing commits, diffs, and timestamps.
- Customer Security Review Automation: Hiro generates accurate, system-grounded answers for security questionnaires and reviews. How it works: Instead of using static wiki templates, it analyzes the live state of the application's code, infrastructure, and policies to provide plain-English responses with direct links to the implemented security measures, policies, and configuration settings.
Problems Solved
- Pain Point: The overwhelming "homework" problem in security and compliance, where scanners and GRC tools create endless queues of alerts and evidence-collection tasks that outpace engineering and security team capacity.
- Target Audience: Startup founders and technical leaders (CTOs, Head of Engineering) at SaaS companies needing customer-ready security; Security and compliance officers (often wearing multiple hats) managing SOC 2 or similar frameworks with tools like Vanta/Drata but lacking implementation bandwidth.
- Use Cases: Pre-sales security reviews: Quickly generating trustworthy security packets for enterprise deals. SOC 2 audit preparation: Automating the implementation of technical controls and evidence collection to pass audits efficiently. Shifting-left security: Integrating autonomous code and infrastructure review into the CI/CD pipeline (via Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub) to catch and fix issues at commit-time.
Unique Advantages
- Differentiation: Unlike traditional security scanners (which find problems) or GRC platforms (which track problems), Hiro is an execution layer. Competitors add to your workload; Hiro's core function is to reduce it by doing the work. It moves from a model of "alert and assign" to "find and fix."
- Key Innovation: The agentic workflow that connects the entire stack—from code IDE and cloud infrastructure to compliance platforms—into a single, closed-loop system. Its unique approach is that the evidence it produces is the work itself (commits, API calls, config changes), making it inherently verifiable and audit-proof, unlike manually assembled screenshot folders.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How does Hiro's autonomous fixing work, and is it safe? Hiro uses a risk-tiered approach. For low-risk, well-understood issues (e.g., enabling a specific cloud logging setting), it applies the fix automatically. For higher-risk or complex changes (e.g., modifying authentication logic), it generates a detailed Pull Request with full context for engineer approval, ensuring safety and maintaining developer oversight.
- Can Hiro replace my security team or compliance consultant? No, Hiro is designed to augment and automate the repetitive, manual tasks that burden security and engineering teams. It handles the implementation "grunt work" and evidence gathering, freeing up human experts for strategic decision-making, complex threat analysis, and higher-level security architecture.
- What systems and tools does Hiro integrate with? Hiro integrates with a modern tech stack: Code & IDEs (GitHub, Claude Code, Cursor), Cloud & Infrastructure (AWS, Vercel, Supabase, Sentry), Compliance Platforms (Vanta, Drata), and Identity/Workspace (Okta, Google Workspace). It acts as the connective tissue between these tools.
- What is the output of the 14-day trial? The trial is concrete and output-driven. Hiro connects to your real systems, identifies security gaps and control failures, and begins closing them. You receive actual shipped fixes (PRs/config changes), draft questionnaire answers, implemented controls, and initial evidence packets, providing immediate value.
- Is Hiro suitable for companies without a SOC 2 program? Yes. Hiro offers two primary pathways: "Customer-ready app security" for companies needing to prove security to clients, and "SOC 2 implementation" for those with a formal program. The app security path focuses on hardening your live application and infrastructure to answer customer security reviews confidently.
