Startup Security Audit
A startup security audit for the moment someone else starts checking.
A startup security audit is a senior review of your app before someone with leverage looks: a launch audience, an enterprise customer's security questionnaire, or an investor's technical due diligence. We find what they would find, first, and hand you the fixes.
From $750, fixed quote, report in about a week. See full pricing
The audit happens either way. The only choice is who runs it first.
Ship long enough and your security gets tested: by an enterprise prospect's questionnaire, by an acquirer's due diligence, or by a stranger with curl and twenty minutes. Founders rarely get to choose whether the audit happens, only whether the first one is run by someone on their side. Done early, findings are a to-do list. Done by the other party, they are a discount on your valuation or a lost deal.
What you get.
Full security pass
Access control, auth, keys, platform rules and data exposure, tested on the live app and read in the code.
Due-diligence readiness
The same ground a technical due diligence covers: code quality, dependency risk, single points of failure and how honestly the architecture matches the pitch.
Questionnaire ammunition
A completed independent audit with documented fixes is the strongest short answer to an enterprise security review.
Founder-readable report
Severity-rated findings in plain language, with the engineering fix attached to each, so you can act on it with or without us.
Free re-review
Fixes verified once you have applied them, included in the price.
The kind of thing we find
A startup heading into a funding conversation had its storage open to anonymous uploads: any stranger could put files of their choosing into the app's own bucket. Harmless in a demo, and exactly the kind of finding that reads very differently in a due-diligence report written by the investor's engineer.

Common questions.
- When should a startup get a security audit?
- Before the first moment someone else checks: a public launch, an enterprise sales process or a fundraise with technical due diligence. The audit is the same either way; doing it early just means you control the narrative around the findings.
- Does this cover technical due diligence?
- It covers the security and code-health ground a diligence review walks: exposure, code quality, dependency risk and architecture honesty. If you are on the buying side and want a target audited, we do that too.
- We have no security person. Is that a problem?
- It is normal. The report is written for founders first, with the engineering detail attached, and we can apply the fixes ourselves if you have no one to hand them to.
- What does a startup security audit cost?
- From $750, fixed quote before we begin, re-review included. Enterprise deals and fundraises move fast, so we prioritise these audits when there is a date attached.
