NIST CSF & CMMC

‍practical approach

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.
