Built for your next step
Security should not begin when an enterprise customer sends a security questionnaire.
We help startup teams identify and address important application and engineering security weaknesses before they become larger business risks.
Understand the material risks in the agreed scope, validate selected fixes and leave with prioritised remediation actions for remaining findings.
Inside the engagement
We review where relevant information is stored, processed, transmitted, and accessed.
We assess application boundaries where untrusted input enters the system.
We examine important third-party software and dependency-management practices.
We review relevant API authentication, permissions, validation, and exposure.
We examine unnecessary privilege and access where cloud scope is included.
We assess whether important actions and security-relevant events can be investigated.
We identify weaknesses in development, testing, configuration, and deployment processes.
Inside the engagement
The objective is not simply to run an automated vulnerability scanner and deliver a report.
We combine automated tooling where appropriate with engineering review, system context, configuration analysis, architecture understanding, and prioritised remediation.
Inside the engagement
Requires immediate investigation.
Material security weakness requiring priority remediation.
Meaningful weakness that should be addressed.
Hardening or engineering improvement.
Inside the engagement
Product Security Hardening is an engineering security improvement service.
It is not automatically equivalent to:
Where specialist certification or penetration testing is required, that should be separately scoped.
A clearly defined scope
Deliverables depend on the agreed engagement scope.
Security engineering assessment
Risk-ranked findings
Technical evidence
Recommended remediation
Selected security fixes
Authentication or authorization improvements
Secret-management recommendations
Development-security recommendations
Follow-up engineering review
Scope, systems, access and acceptance criteria are agreed before work starts. Selected remediation is limited to the agreed engagement.
From first conversation to handover
We understand your product, current technology stack, business priorities, known problems, and desired outcome.
Define the systems, repositories, access, review areas or implementation work, deliverables and acceptance criteria for your engagement.
Assess the agreed product areas, document evidence and carry out any engineering improvements included in scope, with regular progress reviews.
Walk through findings and completed work, confirm next priorities and hand over the agreed documentation and recommendations.
The details that matter
A few things to know about scope, timing and working together.
The displayed prices are indicative. We agree a defined scope, acceptance criteria and a project quote before work starts. Requests beyond that scope are estimated separately.
A product or operations contact, access to the agreed systems and documentation, representative test data, and timely feedback. We confirm access and integration dependencies before scheduling delivery.
The target delivery window is 2–5 weeks, starting once scope, access and dependencies are ready. Third-party approvals or changes to the agreed scope can affect timing.
We hand over the agreed deliverables and documentation with a walkthrough for your team. Further features, monitoring and ongoing maintenance can be scoped as a separate engagement.
Prices are indicative GBP project ranges. Final scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria and price are agreed before work starts. Timelines assume defined scope, available technical access and compatible third-party integrations. Vendor, infrastructure, regulatory and licensing costs are excluded.
Let’s make progress
Identify material weaknesses and implement practical engineering improvements.
