How We Help

Security questionnaires, buyer calls, pen test requests, security and privacy compliance, program and strategy — that's all time you're not focusing on product and customers, and your team isn't shipping. We handle it. Things close faster, your engineers stay focused.

Every recommendation we make is calibrated by a risk model built from years of breaking into enterprise environments and dealing with the remediation aftermath. We prioritize by what attackers exploit, within the context of business realities.

Security Advisory

Strategic guidance for SaaS companies navigating enterprise security. From your first buyer call to your board-level roadmap.

Offensive Security

Fix issues on your own timeline before buyers or attackers do. Findings prioritized by real attack paths, not scanner output.

Compliance Acceleration

Certifications open doors — save time, scope correctly the first time, and move faster.
‍

Fractional Support

You own security by default but don't have time to run it, research, or answer prospects questions and calls.

SOC 2

The buyer won't move forward without it. Get SOC 2 done without the usual pain.

Product Security

Buyers will dig into your architecture. Auth, data flows, access controls—be ready for the questions.


Security Questionnaires

The 200-question spreadsheet is blocking your deal. Half doesn't apply, the other half has no good answer.

Penetration Testing

Enterprise buyers ask for pen test reports. Give them evidence that someone actually tried to break it.

Privacy

Privacy isn't just compliance—it's a buying criterion. Know where you stand before customers ask.

AI Security & Privacy

Enterprise buyers are asking hard AI questions. Training data, prompt injection, model access.

Cloud Security

Misconfigurations are what attackers find first and buyers ask about most.

NIST CSF & CMMC

Government and defense deals come with compliance requirements that look overwhelming. They don't have to be.

Red Teaming

Pen tests check the locks. This shows you what happens when someone really tries to get in.

Social Engineering

Most breaches start with a person. Find out where your team is vulnerable before attackers do.
FAQ

Questions We Hear Before the First Call

We've worked with dozens of SaaS teams navigating enterprise security. Here's what usually comes up.

Which service should we start with?

It depends on what's driving the timing. If there's contracts in motion that need a pen test or a compliance milestone, start there of course — that's where many of our clients begin. If you're past the first certification and enterprise buyers are asking harder questions, the advisory conversation is usually the right entry point. If you're not sure, that's fine — we'll diagnose it on the first call.

How do I know which service we actually need?

Most SaaS companies at your stage need two or three of these, not eleven. We'll scope what matters based on your buyers, your goals, and your current security posture. Part of what we do is tell you what to skip.

How is this different from hiring a full-time security person?

A full-time hire gives you one person's experience. We give you a team that's run red teams at Fortune 500s, led vendor evaluations, and negotiated enterprise contracts. For most companies under $50M ARR, the fractional model gets you deeper expertise at lower cost — and you're not betting on one hire.

Do you offer one-off projects or ongoing support?

Both. Some clients need a pen test or SOC 2 sprint and we're done. Others want a retained advisor they can pull in for security reviews, architecture questions, or board prep. We structure it around what you actually need.

How much does this cost?

It depends on scope, but most companies spend less on a full engagement than they lose in delays. A pen test or gap analysis starts in the low five figures. A broader security story or compliance push scales from there based on what you actually need.

Is Adversis a good fit if we don't have a security team yet?

That's most of our clients. We act as your security bench—fractional expertise you can tap without hiring a full team. When you're ready to build internally, we can help with that transition too.
