Cut your AWS bill — without a full-time FinOps team
Most AWS bills contain 15–25% recoverable waste. Connect one account read-only and we'll show you exactly where yours sits. You'll have the findings in 5 working days.

See where the money goes
15–25% of typical AWS spend is recoverable. We map yours by workload, service and tag. Auditable, not anecdotal.
Catch the silent risks
Most AWS accounts have at least one public S3 bucket, over-broad IAM role or missing reliability guardrail. We surface yours and rank them worst-first.

Results from reviews we've run
Anonymised outcomes from AWS cost & risk reviews our team has run.
Logging and observability running on a costly incumbent tool.
£2k/month saved by moving to a better-fit observability vendor.
No root-account MFA, a 5-year-old unrotated access key, and 86 instances with SSH open to the internet.
Surfaced the highest-impact security risks and idle-resource waste, ranked worst-first.
Legacy gp2 storage driving 500ms+ write latency and an 11-hour analytics replica lag.
Mapped the fix to sub-50ms writes and under-a-minute replica lag.
Most teams know their AWS bill is higher than it should be. They just don’t have the time, or a spare cloud engineer, to prove where. Torque Assist is our AWS-native AI CloudOps assistant: it does that digging for you. The pilot is a free, read-only run of it on one of your accounts.
How the pilot works
- Connect, read-only. You create a read-only IAM role for one AWS account. It takes a few minutes and we walk you through it. Torque Assist never makes changes.
- It investigates. Torque Assist analyses cost, security, reliability and operational signals across the account.
- You get a report. A practical write-up: what’s driving spend, where the risk sits, and a 30-day action list ranked by effort vs. impact.
- Optional next step. If you want to keep going, there’s an AWS Marketplace private offer — no obligation.
Who it’s for
Teams already running on AWS who suspect the bill is higher than it should be, or that operations feel manual or risky, and who don’t have time to investigate from scratch. Typically UK SMBs with a CTO, Head of Engineering, DevOps Lead or technical founder.
What the pilot typically surfaces
- Public S3 buckets with no Public Access Block — sometimes serving live customer content
- Identity risks: root account without MFA, plus stale or unrotated access keys
- Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 — SSH or databases exposed to the internet
- Over-broad IAM roles and unused users that should be scoped down or removed
- Reliability gaps: single-AZ NAT gateways, missing failover, or unmanaged snapshot sprawl
What you get back
A practical, prioritised report — not a 200-page data dump. Below is an illustrative example of the one-pager you'll receive.

30-day action plan
| Action | Effort | Projected saving |
|---|---|---|
| Apply Savings Plan to steady-state EC2 | Low | 8–15% |
| Right-size idle EC2 / RDS instances | Medium | 10–20% |
| Lock down public S3 bucket | Low | Risk ↓ |
| Scope down IAM wildcard role | Medium | Risk ↓ |

Read-only by design
Torque Assist connects to a single AWS account with a read-only role. It can read your data but never change it, and you can revoke access at any time. If you'd rather continue afterwards, there's an optional AWS Marketplace private offer.
