STACKSONA / PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Know where your agents can act.
Know what to improve.

Independent, evidence-based architecture and governance assessments for teams building, deploying, or scaling AI agents on AWS.

We review the boundaries around your agents, tools, permissions, approvals, and operational controls. You get a technical report your engineering team can act on, with implementation choices and a prioritized roadmap.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

A report that turns uncertainty into decisions.

The deliverable is designed to be useful beyond our calls. Engineering and security teams can take the findings, review the evidence and tradeoffs, and plan work independently.

01

Current-state architecture

Documented system boundaries, representative agent workflows, integration touchpoints, and evidence limitations.

02

Specific technical findings

Security, authorization, governance, auditability, and reliability observations grounded in provided material.

03

Alternative implementation paths

Compare appropriate AWS-native, custom, and third-party approaches with the ownership and integration tradeoffs.

04

30/60/90-day roadmap

Prioritized improvement opportunities with concrete control outcomes and validation questions.

HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS

A clear process. No open-ended consulting engagement.

We start by understanding your system and finish by walking your team through the report and the options available for implementation.

  1. 01

    Intake

    We agree scope and collect an intake questionnaire, diagrams, and authorized technical evidence.

  2. 02

    Discovery

    A 60-minute call to understand agent behavior, boundaries, goals, and unresolved questions.

  3. 03

    Assessment

    Evidence-based review of architecture, permissions, governance, operational controls, and tradeoffs.

  4. 04

    Written report

    Findings, evidence limits, alternatives, and a prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap.

  5. 05

    Advisory call

    A second 60-minute conversation to discuss the findings and decide practical next steps.

Five-stage Stacksona assessment: intake, discovery, assessment, written report, advisory consultation.
From the first architecture questions to an engineering-ready report and an informed discussion of implementation choices.

ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK

Eight areas, one connected system.

The review focuses on the controls that shape what AI agents can do, how they behave when conditions change, and what evidence remains afterward.

01

Security boundaries

Trust boundaries, sensitive data, agent-to-tool access, and consequential operations.

02

Identity & permissions

IAM, action scope, shared credentials, and read/write separation.

03

Agent governance

Approval requirements, policy ownership, exceptions, and decision checkpoints.

04

Reliability & recovery

Timeouts, retries, idempotency, partial failures, and uncertain outcomes.

05

Auditability

Correlation from request through decision, execution, and outcome.

06

Operational complexity

Ownership, maintenance, deployments, dependencies, and observability.

07

Scalability & cost

Load patterns, rate limits, queues, and cost exposure.

08

Tool & multi-agent coordination

Delegation, interface contracts, approval propagation, and control across handoffs.

SCOPE & EXPECTATIONS

Know what is included before you begin.

The standard service is a defined technical advisory engagement. Larger systems and additional workflows are agreed separately.

Standard assessment includes

  • One defined AI agent application or system
  • One primary AWS environment
  • Up to two representative agent workflows
  • Review of customer-provided evidence
  • Two 60-minute consultations
  • One written technical assessment report

Outside the standard scope

  • Penetration testing or security attestation
  • Formal compliance certification
  • Comprehensive source-code auditing
  • Implementation of proposed changes
  • Ongoing infrastructure management
  • Guarantees about unreviewed components

Please do not send passwords, access tokens, or unredacted sensitive data. Evidence sharing and handling arrangements are confirmed before the engagement. Pricing and delivery schedule are agreed for the scope through an AWS Marketplace private offer or direct engagement.

MORE CLOUD PROVIDERS

More purchasing options will be listed here.

As additional cloud marketplace listings become available, this section will link directly to each provider. The assessment process and its evidence-based deliverables remain the same.

OPTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PATH

Use the recommendations with the tools you choose.

The assessment is independently valuable. When appropriate, we compare AWS-native services, custom engineering, and governance platforms. Stacksona develops Stacksona Gate, which may be discussed as an optional implementation approach. No software license is required to purchase the assessment.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What to expect.

Do we need to use Stacksona Gate?

No. The technical assessment does not require a Stacksona Gate license. The report can include AWS-native, custom, and third-party options.

Do you need access to our live AWS account?

The standard assessment starts from architecture documentation, discovery, and selected customer-provided evidence. Any additional access must be specifically authorized and included in the agreed scope.

Can our engineering team implement the recommendations?

Yes. The written report includes actionable recommendations and alternative approaches designed to support internal planning and implementation.

How is the service priced?

Pricing is negotiated based on the agreed scope, including through AWS Marketplace private offers. There is no required software purchase.

Does this certify our system as secure or compliant?

No. The standard service is an evidence-based technical assessment. It is not a penetration test, comprehensive code audit, certification, or assurance of all components.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP

Bring your architecture questions. Leave with a clearer path forward.

Tell us what your agents do, which AWS services are involved, and which decisions you want confidence making. Contact us through the AWS Marketplace listing to confirm fit and agree on assessment scope before any purchase.
