We are the pioneers of Cybercoding — the methodology that merges generative AI acceleration with industrialised security requirements. No patches. No technical debt. No hidden flaws.
In 2024, AI invaded software development. Thousands of SaaS publishers are building their products with AI agents in "prompt and pray" mode — fast, visually pleasing, and structurally fragile. WakaStart created an alternative: Cybercoding. An engineering discipline where AI only codes within a framework pre-validated by experts, where security is a foundation — not a coat of paint.
To understand it fully
To explain Cybercoding, let's start with an analogy that everyone understands — even without any IT knowledge.
Vibecoding — coding "by feel"
Building without an architect's plan
"Let's start putting up the walls, we'll sort out the foundations later. If it holds, great. If it leans, we'll add a prop."
In the software world, this is exactly what tools like Bolt, Lovable or Cursor do when used without a method: they quickly produce something that looks good on the surface, but the code underneath is fragile, unsecured and impossible to certify. As soon as you add a feature, you risk bringing down an invisible load-bearing wall. And a security auditor will immediately see that your "house" is built on sand.
Cybercoding — industrial engineering
Building with the architect, the geotechnical engineer and the inspection body
"We start with the soil survey, certified plans, seismic standards. Only then do we pour the concrete — and we never redo the foundations."
In Cybercoding, 90% of the time is spent on the plans: who accesses what, which data is sensitive, how the architecture withstands an attack. Only after this design phase, validated by human experts, does the AI generate the code — in a single pass, as one block, with no improvisation. The result: software as solid as if a team of 15 engineers had built it over 18 months, delivered in 3 weeks.
The economic equation
Cybercoding doesn't trade off speed against security. It reconciles them — by shifting the effort from correction to design.
The 3 fundamental pillars
Cybercoding rests on three inseparable dimensions. Remove one, and you fall back into Vibecoding.
Cognitive Design
Specifications & Rights
Before a single line of code is written, the AI maps out every access right, every sensitive piece of data, every network flow. The Functional and Security Specifications (FSS) are generated automatically and validated by a human CISO and architect. No security ambiguity is tolerated.
Unified AI Code
Deterministic Atomic Generation
The application is generated in a single block, in one pass, by a forge of coordinated AI agents. No iterative changes, no improvisation, no drift. The AI receives directives so precise that it has no latitude to invent or omit any security aspect. The result is consistent, optimised and free of technical debt.
Cyber-Defined Infrastructure
Orchestrator, WAF, IAM pre-configured
The target infrastructure isn't a final container — it's a prerequisite. Before the AI generates any code, the execution environment is already hardened, audited and proven. Active WAF, Keycloak IAM, isolated Kubernetes, secrets encrypted via Vault. The code is written to fit perfectly into it.
The nervous system
This isn't an AI chatbot. It's an industrial platform.
The Control Plane is Cybercoding's major differentiator. It holds the project's "single source of truth" — from the expression of business need through to execution on the target infrastructure. It coordinates everything, controls everything, and authorises no action that violates the defined security policies.
Ingestion & structuring of specifications
Automatically converts your requirements document into technical and security FSS.
Coordination and constraint of AI agents
The coding AI receives closed directives — it has no latitude to improvise.
Automatic validation of security rules
No build is authorised unless the compliance report shows zero critical flaws.
GitOps deployment and global governance
Deployment to production is an exclusive right of the Control Plane — never of a developer.
Native forensic traceability
Every action is timestamped, cryptographically signed and stored immutably.
The complete pipeline
From raw business need to certified production — here is every step, in order, without skipping a single one.
Business need analysis
Your requirements document (even a simple Word file) is ingested by the Control Plane. The AI identifies the features, the actors, the data flows and potential regulatory constraints.
Entry point — no technical skills requiredSecure-by-Design cognitive analysis
An AI expert in architecture and cybersecurity maps every access right down to a unit-level granularity, models the IAM, and classifies data sensitivity levels (GDPR, HDS, financial data).
Security-specialised AIGeneration of the Functional and Security Specifications (FSS)
The Control Plane produces a complete FSS document that serves as the technical and security contract for everything that follows. It's the project's "bible" — every future line of code must comply with its terms.
An inviolable security contractHuman validation — CISO and architect arbitration
No code is generated without expert human validation. The CISO and cloud architect review the FSS, the rights matrix and the Keycloak interfacing. This is Cybercoding's mandatory Human-in-the-Loop.
Human-in-the-Loop — non-negotiableTranscription into a coding Product Requirements Document
The FSS is automatically translated into ultra-structured instructions for the development agents — with no technical ambiguity whatsoever. The coding AI receives closed instructions, with no room for improvisation.
Zero ambiguity for the AICoding forge — Deterministic Atomic Generation
The application is generated in a single block in TypeScript (Next.js front-end / NestJS back-end) by a forge of coordinated AI agents. The entire application, in a single pass. No iterative changes. No drift.
A single pass — zero uncontrolled iterationAutomated tests and security scans
SAST pipeline (static analysis), DAST (dynamic testing), OWASP Top 10 verification, known CVE scanning, ISO 27001, NIS2 and HDS compliance checks. No deployment is authorised if the report shows even a single critical flaw.
Zero critical flaws = deployment conditionSecure CI/CD deployment — GitOps
Automatic deployment to the pre-configured execution cluster on OVH France. Active WAF, hardened Keycloak, minimal JWT, immutable logs with Object Lock. ISO 27001 certification obtained within the following month.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cybercoding in simple terms?
Imagine you're building a house. Vibecoding is starting to put up the walls without an architect's plan — it's fast, but if you want to add a window later, you risk hitting a load-bearing wall. Cybercoding is working with the architect, the geotechnical engineer and the inspection body before pouring a single drop of concrete. The result: a solid, certifiable house that doesn't need rebuilding in 6 months.
What's the difference between Cybercoding and Vibecoding?
Vibecoding involves chaining prompts in an AI agent with no structured framework. You quickly get something visually pleasing — but security is non-existent, technical debt builds up with every change, and an ISO 27001 audit is impossible without a complete rewrite. Cybercoding reverses the logic: 90% of the time on specifications and security, 10% on actual coding. The application is generated as a single block within a pre-validated framework. The result: certifiable from day one.
What is Deterministic Atomic Generation?
It's the core principle of Cybercoding: the application is generated in a single pass, as one block, by a forge of coordinated AI agents. No iterative changes, no patching, no bodge fixes. Like pouring foundations in a single concrete pour — you don't reopen the concrete to "add a cable". Every future functional evolution goes through the same specification → validation → atomic generation cycle.
Is Cybercoding suited to non-technical people?
Yes — it's one of its major advantages. The entry point for Cybercoding is your business requirements document: a simple Word document describing what you want to do. You don't need to know how to code, or understand software architecture. The Control Plane and our experts translate your needs into technical and security specifications. You validate the business logic — they handle the technical side.
Is WakaStart really the pioneer of Cybercoding?
Yes. WakaStart created the methodology, wrote the Cybercoding Manifesto and built the platform that brings it to life — the Control Plane. We are the first organisation in the world to have fully industrialised this approach, from specification to certified deployment, with verifiable results: ISO 27001 in 1 month, delivery in 30 days, zero critical flaws at delivery. Full documentation is available at cybercoding.ai.
What does a Cybercoding project cost?
From €30,000 excl. VAT, spread out with no bank loan required — instalments from €2,000/month over 36 months. This includes design, development, ISO 27001 certification and hosting on OVH France infrastructure. Compare this with a traditional IT services firm (around €500,000) or a Vibecoding approach that requires a complete post-audit rewrite (around €150,000).
