Vast Active Live Intelligence System
A security analysis platform that produces structured findings, verifies them independently, and tells you exactly why you shouldn't trust it as the sole source of authority. Built by a bootstrapped team that believes security tooling should be honest about what it can and can't do.
VALIS is a desktop application with an embedded analytical engine. It doesn't just scan — it produces candidate findings, routes them through multiple analyst roles, and requires independent verification before anything gets promoted.
An AI security and governance analyst embedded in the desktop client. Produces structured candidate findings across security, architecture, governance, and compliance domains — then tells you exactly why you shouldn't trust it as the sole source of authority.
Deterministic adversarial testing engine that runs self-audits against declared targets. Produces structured findings with severity classification, then hands them to the analyst roles for independent verification.
Multiple analytical roles — Junior Analyst, Compliance Analyst, Audit Analyst, Risk Analyst — working together. Each produces candidate findings that require independent confirmation before promotion to verified status.
Every finding starts as a Candidate. Cardinal produces them, analysts surface them, and independent verification against the codebase confirms or rejects them. The system catches its own fabricated claims.
The analytical engine is one part. The platform around it handles compliance mapping, education, secure storage, and scope enforcement.
8 compliance frameworks with 127 mapped controls. Structured coverage that maps findings to real regulatory requirements — not just checkbox compliance.
Built-in educational resources for security concepts and VALIS methodology. Designed to help operators build genuine security intuition alongside the tooling.
Secure local storage for findings, artifacts, and session data. Your analytical work stays on your machine under your control.
Target scope enforcement that bounds what VALIS can probe. Declared targets only — no silent scanning, no scope creep, no surprises.
Founding pricing for early adopters. Access is manually onboarded while we harden billing automation and workspace persistence. We're a bootstrapped startup — these prices reflect what we think is fair for what actually ships today.
Limited daily penetration testing, active malware and security scanning, plus access to our agentic-coding alignment engine for AI-assisted or traditional developers and students interested in expanding their understanding of cybersecurity and validating the integrity of their projects. The Student workspace offers verified students the same capabilities as our Vibecoder tier at a more affordable rate.

Six total daily server-side penetration tests with active malware, security scanning, and limited cloud storage. VALIS desktop client sold separately. The Vibecoder workspace represents only a fraction of the capabilities we aim to provide via VALIS to anyone committed to assuring their products are hardened for release and interested in experiencing an integrated cybersecurity and development workflow made simple.
Founding price
Everything Vibecoder is with expanded Cardinal engine active-scanning, higher server-side penetration testing limits, and more comprehensive governance analysis. Vibeengineer also provides higher cloud storage limits and access to adversarial and incognito engine modalities.
