ArgosX: independent security testing for AI-built apps

For courses, teaching labs & the CIS Sandbox

Students can build with AI. Teach them to audit it.

In your course, students ship AI-built apps fast — but “it runs” isn’t “it’s safe or correct.” ArgosX gives every student an independent scan of their own app, turns each finding into a lesson in what the AI missed, and gives you a roster view with a before/after score you can actually grade.

No finance or security background needed — runs on any student's deployed app.

The judgment gap

Students can generate code faster than they can evaluate it

Generating the app is the easy part now. Knowing whether it is safe and correct is the skill that does not come for free.

A real ArgosX scan replay landing on a confirmed cross-user data exposure — the kind of bug a student can't see from the demo.

what the scan looked at

They can't see what they didn't write

The app compiles and demos cleanly, so the exposed database or the missing authorization check stays invisible to the student who shipped it.

The AI grades its own work

The same tool that wrote the code also says it's done. Nothing independent ever checks it, so the same handful of mistakes repeat silently across the class.

Auditing is the skill that lasts

Writing code is being commoditized. Judging whether code is safe, correct and honest is the durable, employable skill — and it has to be taught.

A teaching loop, not just a scanner

Scan, understand, fix, re-scan

The same engine founders use to verify a launch, turned into a loop a student learns from.

What a student sees: their own report, worst-first, each finding with the fix to paste.

Each student scans their own app

Students join your class with a code and link a deployed URL. Everyone gets a VibeScore and a findings list for the app they actually built.

Findings explain the bug class

Every finding teaches the concept — why an open database, an IDOR, or a missing auth check is a whole category of risk — not just a one-off patch.

Fix, then re-scan to green

Students remediate and watch the score move. The before/after delta is the learning signal: it shows what they understood, not just what they shipped.

A graded audit assignment

“Scan your app, triage the findings, fix the criticals, and reflect on what you missed” drops into a single class session or lab.

Built for the instructor

A roster view and a score you can grade

One dashboard for the whole roster

See every student's VibeScore and open findings at a glance, so you can spot the one mistake the whole class is making and teach to it.

A gradebook you can export

Initial score, final score, criticals fixed, time-to-green — exportable to CSV so it slots into your own rubric instead of replacing it.

Peer tutors can walk the findings

In a space like the CIS Sandbox, a peer tutor pulls up a student's findings and coaches the fix — the scan gives the session a concrete agenda.

Safe for a classroom

Independent, honest, and student-data-safe

Independent of the builder

ArgosX is not the AI that wrote the code, so the check is a real second opinion — not the same model marking its own homework.

It won't fake a score

If a scan couldn't reach enough of the app, it says “insufficient coverage” instead of a hollow 100 — so a grade is never built on a number the tool didn't earn.

Scoped to student apps

It scans a student's own deployed app — no real customer credentials, and scores stay private to your class unless a student chooses to share a badge.
