Security for Startups

## 7 in 10 startups have a vulnerability _they don't know about._

You're shipping fast. Security is on the list - just not at the top. We run external security audits on startup infrastructure so you know exactly where you're exposed.

Why Now

## AI writes the code. Nobody audits the security.

Every feature you ship expands your attack surface. AI-generated code moves fast but doesn't come with security built in. Auth gaps, exposed endpoints, misconfigured infrastructure - these don't show up in QA. They show up when something breaks.

01

### AI-generated code

Copilot and Cursor ship fast. They don't audit for security misconfigurations.

02

### Ship-first culture

Security gets pushed to later. Later usually arrives after a breach.

03

### No one's watching

Traditional security firms go after enterprise. Startups fall through the gap.

Ongoing Coverage

## One scan is a snapshot. Security is ongoing.

Every new feature you ship, every new PR that goes out - your attack surface changes. For teams that want continuous coverage, we offer monthly and quarterly retainer engagements. For teams that just want a one-time check, that's completely fine too.

Monthly retainer

### Continuous monitoring

Continuous monitoring and scanning after every major release cycle.

Quarterly retainer

### Audit every quarter

A thorough audit every quarter. Catches what accumulates between releases.

One-time only

### No pressure to continue

Just want a single scan? That works too. No pressure to continue.
