Security & Risk Assessment

The Problem

Most security assessments are either surface-level scans or bloated enterprise audits. Neither helps a growing company make real decisions. You need someone who understands your stack, your stage, and your actual risks — not a vendor trying to sell you tools.

What You Get

  • A comprehensive threat model tailored to your product, architecture, and business context.
  • Vulnerability analysis across your application layer, infrastructure, and operational processes.
  • A prioritised risk register: what matters now, what can wait, and what to monitor.
  • A clear remediation roadmap with effort estimates your engineering team can follow.
  • A 48-hour written summary after every session.

Our Approach

We start with your architecture, not a checklist. Every assessment begins with understanding how your system actually works: data flows, trust boundaries, third-party dependencies, and deployment pipelines. We model threats specific to your business — not generic OWASP lists. The output is a risk-ranked action plan your team can execute immediately. We work collaboratively with your engineering and product teams.

Deliverables

  • Threat model documentation (STRIDE or custom framework)
  • Risk register with severity ratings and business impact
  • Remediation roadmap (prioritised, with effort estimates)
  • Architecture security recommendations
  • Executive summary for leadership / board

Timeline

A typical security assessment takes 2–4 weeks depending on size and complexity. Smaller scoped reviews can be completed in 3–5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a penetration test?

A pen test tries to break in. A security assessment maps your entire risk landscape and gives you a plan. We can recommend pen testing firms if needed, but most early-stage companies get more value from a structured assessment first.

Do you work with our existing security tools?

Yes. We review what you already have — monitoring, SIEM, endpoint protection, identity providers — and identify gaps or misconfigurations. We are tool-agnostic.

What size companies do you work with?

Primarily startups (seed to Series C) and mid-size SaaS companies (50–500 employees). We also advise larger organisations on specific architecture questions.
