Why this matters

SaaS startups get pentested three times: by investors, enterprise buyers, and the SOC 2 auditor. Most reports cover one.

  • Generic 'startup pentest packages' deliver scanner output that survives none of the three reviewers.

  • Investor due diligence and enterprise security reviews want CREST + reproducer + remediation, not a vulnerability summary.

  • First SOC 2 Type I readiness pentests without re-test built in force founders to buy a second engagement before the auditor file closes.

Here is what we ship.
