Cybersecurity & Compliance

No — certification only comes from an accredited third-party auditor, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something. What we do is the engineering half: close the gaps, build the controls and logging, and assemble the evidence so the audit goes smoothly.

A focused application and cloud audit with pen testing typically runs $4k–$11k. Compliance readiness programs including remediation work range $11k–$34k+ depending on how much has to be rebuilt. Scope and price are fixed after a short scoping call.

Testing and reporting on a single application usually takes 2–3 weeks. Compliance readiness is longer — 2–4 months is typical, because the work is mostly remediation and evidence collection, not assessment.

No. We test against staging where one exists, agree the rules of engagement and rate limits in writing before starting, and coordinate any production testing with your team in a defined window.

Often, yes. If you have no customer data and no enterprise buyers asking, spend the money on dependency scanning, MFA and backups instead. Full audits and compliance work earn their cost once you hold sensitive data or a deal depends on it.

A full test annually or after major architecture changes, with the automated layer — dependency scanning, secret detection, configuration checks — running continuously in CI between them. Point-in-time audits age fast; the pipeline is what holds the line day to day.

Yes, and the durable fix is making the answers true rather than wordsmithing them: closing the gaps the questionnaires probe, then building a reusable answer pack backed by real controls and evidence. Deals stop stalling when the security page stops being aspirational.

Yes — and it sticks best when it is concrete: workshops built around findings from your own codebase, threat modeling folded into feature planning, and review checklists your leads actually use. One engaged internal champion holds posture better than any annual training video.
