Case STudy
How PMC Turned Security Gaps into Competitive Advantage
A scaling EdTech organization acquired a custom data platform—and inherited undocumented security blocking enterprise deals. Adversis delivered penetration testing, CIS v8 alignment, and GDPR validation, transforming months of stalled procurement into closed contracts.
Challenge
Post-acquisition platform lacking security documentation, blocking state and enterprise education sales
Solution
Comprehensive pen testing, vendor collaboration, and compliance alignment (CIS v8, GDPR, SOC 2 readiness)
Result
Months to Weeks
Security reviews that stalled deals for 180+ days now close in a fraction of the time

The Adversis Approach
Built to Survive Scrutiny
Most product security and cybersecurity programs come from people who've never compromised an enterprise's critical assets or evaluated a vendor. We have. We know what passes—and what doesn't.
01
Assess
We start by understanding your goals, your buyers, and where the gaps are. We look at your security story the way a skeptical buyer would.
02
Close
We fill the gaps that actually block deals: architecture, policies, controls, evidence
03
Equip
You walk into security reviews with answers and evidence that holds up.
"We anticipated a standard penetration test—but what we received went far beyond that. Noah and the Adversis team became trusted advisors, bridging a critical knowledge gap in our organization."
Summer Edwards
Data Systems Director, PMC
"I've read through a few pentest reports and found yours better-written and containing a lot less fluff than average... you highlighted legitimate concerns without blowing anything out of proportion. A+ would read again."
Sr Software Engineer
Stealth Startup, San Francisco
"[Adversis] was incredibly helpful in conducting a security assessment for our new Saas product. Easy to work with, quick to do the assessment, and delivered a report that was actionable without a bunch of fluff."
Mike Julian
CEO, Duckbill
"The Adversis team did a fantastic job fortifying our cybersecurity defenses and guiding us through the complex world of cybersecurity with ease and clarity."

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.
What kind of companies do you work with?
Mostly B2B SaaS companies—typically Series A or B, with a small security team or none at all. The common thread: enterprise buyers are asking hard security questions, and the team needs help answering them.
We just need a pen test. Is that something you do?
Yes. But we'll probably ask what's driving the need—because a pen test is often part of a bigger picture (a deal in motion, a compliance requirement, a buyer's security review). If you genuinely just need a clean report, we can do that, validation and retesting included. If there's more to untangle, we'll tell you.
Can you help us answer security questionnaires?
Yes—and we can get on calls with your buyer's security team when needed. We've been on the other side of those calls, running vendor evaluations. We know what they're actually trying to learn and how to answer in a way that builds confidence. We've also been on both sides of a breach and can justify when controls make a difference.
How fast can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 2-3 weeks. If you have a deal on the line and need to move faster, tell us—we'll see what we can do.
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.
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.

Most companies don't need more security—they need the right security at the right time. We figure out what that is.
