AWS security for teams without a security team
About bearhug
Bearhug is a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool purpose-built for AWS environments, targeting organizations that lack a dedicated security team. It continuously monitors AWS accounts, leveraging AWS Security Hub and GuardDuty to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats. The platform translates security findings into plain English, making them understandable to non-security professionals, while offering a toggle to view technical details for developers. Users can remediate issues with a single click, applying recommended fixes without needing to navigate the AWS console. Bearhug provides real-time alerts and a multi-account dashboard, simplifying security posture management across multiple AWS accounts. It includes compliance foundations for standards like GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and Cyber Essentials, helping teams prepare for audits. With a flat $100 per month pricing per AWS account, bearhug positions itself as an affordable alternative to enterprise CSPM tools that can cost £20,000+ annually. Setup takes under five minutes via AWS Marketplace, and a 14-day free trial is offered. AiDOOS enhances deployment by providing expert-guided integration, automated configuration, and managed services, ensuring that bearhug is aligned with organizational security policies and compliance requirements from day one. AiDOOS also offers continuous monitoring, custom playbooks, and cost optimization, maximizing the value of bearhug's capabilities.
Challenges It Solves
- Cloud security tools are often priced for enterprises with dedicated security teams, leaving smaller organizations with either unaffordable options or manual security management.
- AWS Security Hub generates hundreds of findings in technical jargon, making it difficult for developers to prioritize and understand urgent risks.
- Fixing security issues manually consumes significant development time, requiring reading documentation, understanding risk, and testing changes.
- Customers and investors increasingly require proof of security posture, and lacking an automated solution makes it difficult to demonstrate compliance.
Use Cases

Teams preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR can leverage bearhug's compliance alignment features to demonstrate security controls.

Development teams can monitor security issues without leaving their workflow, using the friendly/technical views to understand and remediate risks.
