Enterprise security reviews and SOC 2 audits find the same issues. Fix them before the audit does.
Enterprise procurement security questionnaires and SOC 2 audits look at the same things: authentication controls, data encryption, access logging, dependency management, and infrastructure security. We audit your application against these requirements and fix the gaps.
Enterprise prospect's security questionnaire revealing gaps in authentication, encryption, or audit logging that are blocking the deal
Enterprise security reviews and SOC 2 audits reveal the same issues in B2B SaaS products built by non-security-specialist developers. The issues aren't esoteric — they're the foundational security controls that every production application should have:
Authentication weaknesses: Passwords without bcrypt hashing (still found in older applications), no rate limiting on authentication endpoints (allows brute force), no MFA enforcement for admin accounts, no session invalidation on password change.
Data exposure: API endpoints that return more data than the client needs (over-fetching exposes fields the user shouldn't see), error messages that expose internal implementation details or database structure, debug logging left enabled in production.
Missing encryption: Sensitive data stored in plain text (API keys, access tokens, PII fields), unencrypted database backups, HTTP-only cookies without secure flags.
Access control gaps: API endpoints that rely on the UI to hide actions rather than enforcing permissions at the API layer, missing ownership checks (user A can view user B's data by changing the ID in the API call), no audit trail of who accessed sensitive data.
Dependency vulnerabilities: npm audit with 40+ known vulnerabilities (CVEs), outdated packages with public exploits.
Application security gaps identified and remediated so the next enterprise security review passes without blocking the deal
Authentication hardening
Rate limiting on auth endpoints, MFA enforcement for admin roles, session invalidation on credential change, secure cookie settings.
API authorization audit
Every API endpoint reviewed for ownership checks and permission enforcement. Fixes for any endpoint that relies on the UI to restrict access rather than enforcing at the API layer.
Data exposure audit
Response payloads reviewed for over-fetching. Error handlers updated to not expose internal implementation details. Sensitive fields removed from default serializations.
Encryption improvements
Sensitive fields (API keys, tokens, PII) encrypted at rest. Dependency injection of encryption keys via environment variables (not hardcoded). Backup encryption review.
Dependency remediation
`npm audit` fixes for all critical and high CVEs. Dependency version updates with regression testing.
Security headers
Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy configured in Next.js middleware.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Security remediation is a defined scope: audit, identify, prioritize, fix. Fixed price.
Related engagements.
Questions, answered.
SOC 2 certification requires an audit by an accredited CPA firm. The technical security controls we implement are the foundation that makes the SOC 2 audit passable — but the audit itself and the operational policies (incident response, access reviews, change management) are separate from the development engagement.
If you have existing findings from a penetration test or security questionnaire, the project scope is defined by those findings. We fix the documented issues, validate the fixes, and provide documentation of the remediation.
Security audit and remediation: from $12k for focused fixes. Full security hardening engagement: from $25k. Fixed-price.
