Systems and methods for performing self-contained posture assessment from within a protected portable-code workspace

Systems and methods for performing self-contained posture assessment from within a protected portable-code workspace are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory having program instructions that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: transmit, from an orchestration service to a local agent, a workspace definition that references an application, where the application comprises a first portion of code provided by a developer and a second portion of code provided by the orchestration service; and receive, from a local agent at the orchestration service, a message in response to the execution of the second portion of code within a workspace instantiated based upon the workspace definition. The second portion of code may inspect the contents of the runtime memory of the workspace upon execution, for example, by performing a stack canary check, a hash analysis, a boundary check, and/or a memory scan.
