Security Snapshot
The Security Snapshot is a rapid, focused review built for teams that need a credible read on their security posture without committing to a full engagement. It suits a small repository, a single service, or a specific area of concern — the goal is a fast, prioritized signal, not exhaustive coverage.
Starting at $1,500
Who This Is Built For
- Early-stage startups validating security posture ahead of a fundraise, launch, or customer security questionnaire
- Small repositories or single-service applications
- Teams that want a fast, prioritized signal before deciding whether a deeper engagement is warranted
- A focused second opinion on a specific area of concern
Typical Engagement Scope
Engagements are scoped collaboratively — this describes typical coverage, not a fixed checklist applied uniformly.
Typically Included
- Manual and tool-assisted review of a small repository or focused codebase
- Findings ranked by severity and prioritized for action
- A concise executive summary
May Be Included, Depending on Scope
- A brief architecture walkthrough, time permitting
- A light pass over third-party dependencies
Outside This Engagement
- Mobile reverse engineering
- Full authentication and authorization review
- A formal executive presentation or developer walkthrough (available as a follow-up engagement)
Representative Deliverables
Deliverables reflect agreed scope — not every engagement includes every item. See the full deliverables breakdown on the Services hub.
What a Report for This Engagement Looks Like
Structure only — no findings are shown here. Every real report reflects the engagement's actual scope and results.
Executive Reporting
Executive Summary
A plain-language overview of business risk and overall posture, for stakeholders who don't need technical detail.
Business Risk Overview
What the findings mean in terms of business impact, not just technical severity.
Executive Recommendations
Strategic, prioritized next steps aimed at leadership, not implementation detail.
Findings & Risk Analysis
Technical Findings
Each finding documented in full engineering detail — what it is, where it lives, and why it matters.
Risk Prioritization
Findings ranked by severity and real-world reachability, not a raw score alone.
Evidence & Documentation
Evidence Collection
Supporting artifacts — code excerpts, request/response captures, or configuration snippets — behind each finding.
Remediation Guidance
Developer Guidance
Implementation-level detail aimed at the engineer who will actually make the fix.
Remediation Roadmap
Findings grouped and sequenced by priority and dependency, not an unordered list.
Assessment Process
Discovery
An initial conversation about the application, goals, and constraints.
Scope Definition
Engagement scope, tier, and boundaries are agreed in writing before work begins.
Kickoff
Access, authorization, and points of contact are confirmed with the client.
Assessment
Manual and tool-assisted review of the authorized application, repository, or artifact.
Engineering Review
Findings are validated and prioritized by the engineer who performed the assessment.
Report Preparation
Executive and technical findings are documented with evidence and remediation guidance.
Executive Briefing
Business risk and priorities are presented to stakeholders in plain language.
Developer Walkthrough
Technical findings are reviewed directly with the engineering team.
Optional Validation
A follow-up review to confirm remediation, scoped and scheduled separately.
