Vibe-code rescue for Seattle founders

Seattle's startup base is unusually enterprise-literate, built on a talent pipeline that spent years shipping cloud infrastructure at Amazon and Microsoft before starting something of its own. That background raises the bar for what "secure enough" means the moment a Seattle founder tries to sell into a buyer who runs the same kind of vendor security review internally. We work remotely with Seattle teams on Pacific hours, no office visit required, and the same $1,500 Rapid Diagnostic, credited toward the full audit, everywhere.

Why Seattle is different

The buyer here has run this exact review from the other side

A Seattle B2B SaaS deal is the fastest-closing case we see

A founder blocked by an InfoSec team's vendor questionnaire already knows exactly what's wrong and has sole budget authority to fix it, which is why this segment closes faster than almost any other in our own pricing research.

The talent pipeline builds fast, not necessarily secure by default

Experience running someone else's cloud infrastructure at scale doesn't automatically transfer to noticing that an AI coding assistant left row-level security off on a new Supabase project, since it's a different kind of review.

What unblocks the deal

A SOC 2-readiness pass, not a promise we can't make

We build the technical controls a SOC 2 auditor will test and produce readiness documentation. We never claim to make anyone "SOC 2 certified," because that attestation can only come from a licensed CPA firm.

Questions

Seattle founder questions

Do you have a Seattle office?

No, we're a fully remote team. Seattle founders work with us over video calls, written diagnostics, and shared repos, scheduled on Pacific hours.

Can you make us SOC 2 certified?

No, and no engineering firm can. SOC 2 is an attestation issued only by a licensed CPA firm operating under AICPA standards. We build the technical controls an auditor will test and produce readiness documentation that supports your own audit.

Our lead is stuck in security review right now. How fast can you move?

Fast. This is the single most time-sensitive scenario we see, and triage usually begins within 24 to 48 hours. Tell us the deal timeline when you reach out.

Does it matter that our stack runs on AWS or Azure?

No. The review is the same regardless of cloud provider: row-level security, secrets handling, access control, and connection management under real traffic. We work in whatever cloud you're already on.

Send us the repo. We'll tell you the truth about it.
