Question 1

How much do cybersecurity services cost?

Accepted Answer

Our security engagements start at $10,000, with typical projects between $5,000 and $25,000. A focused security audit of a web application sits at the lower end; penetration testing plus compliance preparation at the higher end. We scope precisely after a short call about your systems, and findings always come with a prioritized remediation plan — not just a list of problems.

Question 2

What is the difference between a security audit and a penetration test?

Accepted Answer

An audit is a systematic review of your code, configuration, and practices against known vulnerability classes — broad coverage, white-box. A penetration test simulates a real attacker actively trying to break in — narrower but adversarial. Audits find more issues per dollar; pen tests prove which ones are actually exploitable. Many clients start with an audit and follow with a pen test.

Question 3

Does my small business really need security testing?

Accepted Answer

If you store customer data, take payments, or run software your business depends on — yes. Small businesses are targeted precisely because attackers assume weaker defenses, and most breaches exploit basics: unpatched software, weak authentication, exposed credentials. A one-time audit catching those basics is inexpensive insurance against an incident that could end the business.

Question 4

Can you help with GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2 compliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We assess your current posture against the requirements, produce a gap analysis, implement the technical controls (encryption, access management, audit logging, data handling), and prepare documentation for auditors. For SOC 2 specifically we get you audit-ready; the certification audit itself is performed by an accredited third party.

Question 5

What does a security engagement look like?

Accepted Answer

Four phases: assess (scoping, threat modeling, and testing your applications and infrastructure), report (findings rated by severity with concrete reproduction steps), remediate (we fix the issues or guide your team through fixes), and monitor (ongoing scanning and alerting if you want continuous coverage). You always know what was found, how bad it is, and what to do about it.

Question 6

How long does a security audit take?

Accepted Answer

A typical web application audit takes 1-3 weeks. Penetration tests run 1-2 weeks plus reporting. Compliance preparation is longer — usually 4-12 weeks depending on how much groundwork exists. Critical findings are reported immediately, not held for the final report.

Question 7

How often should we test our security?

Accepted Answer

A full audit or pen test annually, plus a review after any major feature launch, infrastructure change, or acquisition. Between tests, automated dependency and vulnerability scanning (which we can set up) catches newly disclosed issues in the software you already run.

Question 8

What happens after you find vulnerabilities?

Accepted Answer

Every finding comes with severity, business impact in plain English, and a specific fix. We can implement the fixes ourselves, pair with your developers, or hand over the plan — and we retest after remediation to confirm the holes are actually closed.

Question 9

Can you review code written with AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes — AI-generated code is one of the fastest-growing sources of security issues we see: exposed secrets, missing authorization checks, and injection vulnerabilities are common. Our Vibe Check service is a security-focused review built specifically for applications generated with tools like Cursor, v0, and Bolt.

Question 10

Do you provide security training for employees?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most successful attacks start with people, not code — phishing, weak passwords, social engineering. We run practical training sessions for staff and secure-coding workshops for development teams, tailored to your actual systems rather than generic slideware.
