Badges & recognition

Proof you can show. Service we honor.

Two ways to wear the work: earn a security seal by completing an engagement, and — for those who serve communities — the Service Shield discount. Every badge is verified before it is issued. We never issue a seal for work that was not done.

Earned Security Seals

Complete an engagement and earn a seal you can display — proof, to your own customers, board, and insurers, that an American cloud-security team has independently assessed your posture.

Tier 1

Health Check Verified

Completed an independent Cloud Security Health Check across IAM, data, network, logging, and configuration.

Earned by: Complete a Cloud Security Health Check engagement.

Tier 2

Posture Hardened

Closed the high-priority findings from a Cloud Security Health Check and passed re-testing.

Earned by: Complete a Remediation Sprint and re-test after the health check.

Tier 3

Continuous Posture

Under active, ongoing cloud posture monitoring with periodic review by Cloud Health Sec.

Earned by: Maintain an active Managed Cloud Posture engagement.

Each seal reflects work completed on a specific date. It attests to an assessment or engagement — not a certification, accreditation, or guarantee against breach. Cloud posture changes over time; seals are point-in-time and independently verifiable.

Service Shield

A standing discount for those who served

Service Shield: verified discounts for veteran-owned, law-enforcement, firefighter-owned, and registered non-profit organizations. We verify eligibility, apply the discount to your private engagement quote, and issue your shield badge.

If the owner (or majority owner) is a US Veteran, in law enforcement, or a firefighter — current or former — you qualify. One shield per account. We verify eligibility, apply your discount to the engagement quote, and issue your shield. The amount is set per engagement, quoted to your cloud footprint.

Veteran-owned

US veteran owner or majority owner

To verify: DD-214 or VA ID (redact anything you need to)

Law enforcement

Current or former law enforcement owner or majority owner

To verify: Agency ID, retirement card, or official letter

Firefighter

Current or former firefighter owner or majority owner

To verify: Department ID or retirement credentials

Non-profit

Registered 501(c)(3) or Canadian equivalent charity / NPO

To verify: IRS determination letter, CRA registration, or equivalent

Verified, not invented

A seal attests to an assessment or engagement completed on a date — it is not a certification or a guarantee against breach. A Service Shield is issued only after we verify eligibility. That honesty is the point: a badge from Cloud Health Sec means something because we don't hand them out.
