Risk Radar: 9 Architectural Risk Types
Nine specialised risk detectors analyse your infrastructure topology to find architectural weaknesses before they cause incidents. Risk Radar goes beyond security checks to examine how your resources are arranged, connected, and distributed across Availability Zones.
- Single Point of Failure: identifies resources with 5 or more dependents and no redundancy -- a single failure would cascade across your stack
- AZ Concentration: detects when more than 80% of resources reside in a single Availability Zone, leaving you exposed to zone-level outages
- High Blast Radius: flags resources whose failure would affect more than 50% of your total infrastructure based on dependency analysis
- Missing Redundancy: finds compute resources without load balancers, databases without read replicas, and other gaps in high-availability patterns
- Consolidation Opportunity: surfaces orphaned resources, duplicate security groups, and other candidates for infrastructure simplification
- Network Topology Gap: identifies missing NAT gateways, over-permissive security groups, and routing configuration weaknesses

Failure Simulator
What would break if this resource went down? Select any resource in your infrastructure and simulate its failure. Guardian Pro traces every downstream dependency to show you exactly which resources would be affected and how far the failure would spread.
- Automatic dependency tracing follows every downstream connection to map the full blast radius of a failure
- Visual cascade graph highlights affected resources with failure paths and annotates each hop in the chain
- Impact percentage shows what proportion of your total infrastructure would be affected by a single resource failure
- Cascade depth tracking reveals how many hops the failure propagates -- shallow cascades are easier to contain than deep ones

Architecture Map
Visualise your entire AWS infrastructure as an interactive topology graph. Resources are arranged across 5 visual layers -- from internet-facing endpoints down to individual resources -- making complex architectures comprehensible at a glance.
- Interactive topology graph with 5 visual layers: Internet, VPC, Subnet, Resource, and Global
- VPC grouping automatically shown when 2 or more VPCs exist, providing clear visual separation of network segments
- Export your architecture diagram as a PNG image for documentation, presentations, or compliance evidence
- AWS service icons on each node so you can instantly identify resource types in your topology

Growth Readiness Assessment
Understand your architecture maturity with a 4-stage growth readiness assessment. Guardian Pro evaluates your infrastructure across multiple dimensions and places you on a maturity curve, providing specific recommendations to advance to the next stage.
- Four maturity stages: MVP (minimal viable infrastructure), Traction (basic HA), Growth (multi-region capable), and Scale (enterprise-grade)
- Dimension-level scoring breaks down readiness across reliability, security, performance, and operational excellence
- Stage-specific recommendations tell you exactly what to implement to advance from your current stage to the next
- Historical snapshots track your growth readiness over time to demonstrate architectural improvement to stakeholders

Template Health Monitoring
Track the health of your CloudFormation stacks and stay on top of template updates. When Guardian Pro fixes a resource managed by CloudFormation, it automatically flags the template as needing an update so your infrastructure-as-code stays in sync.
- Pending template updates listed with the specific property changes needed to bring your CloudFormation templates back in sync
- Corrected template generation provides the exact changes required to update your stack without manual investigation
- Stack health monitoring tracks deployment status, drift detection, and resource counts across all your CloudFormation stacks
- Template update flags auto-resolve when the corrected template is deployed, closing the loop automatically

Health Scorer
A single score from 0 to 100 that captures the overall health of your AWS infrastructure. The scoring model uses diminishing returns so each additional issue has progressively less impact -- fixing the biggest problems first moves your score the most.
- Five weighted factors: security findings, cost optimisation, compliance posture, architectural risks, and operational health
- Diminishing returns scoring ensures the score responds meaningfully to real improvements, not noise
- Pillar-level breakdowns show which dimensions are dragging your score down and where to focus improvement efforts
- Daily metric snapshots provide historical trend data for reporting and stakeholder communication
