Strategic Security Partnership

Your deal is stuck in security review.

Let's change that.

Enterprise buyers don't just want a SOC 2 badge—they want to talk to someone who can answer real architecture questions. When the questionnaire lands or the buyer's security team asks for a call, you need someone credible on your side.

We've been on both sides of that table: running security evaluations at Fortune 500 companies, deciding which vendors passed. Now we help SaaS companies build security stories that survive that scrutiny.
Security Advisory & Ongoing Partnership
01
Most SaaS companies first call us because a deal needs a pen test or there's a security review they can't field. We solve that — fast. But the reason clients stay is what happens next.

Your security program was built to pass an audit, not to scale. Questionnaires keep coming. Buyers get more sophisticated. The board starts asking for a roadmap nobody can write. Your security hire (if you have one) is probably drowning in operational work with no time for anything strategic.

We become the security partner your team leans on. Not consultants who deliver policies and disappear. We learn your architecture, your threat surface, your buyer profile.

We bring pattern recognition from years of enterprise red team work and security evaluations — the kind of accumulated judgment that tells us not just what to fix, but what to skip. Then we build a prioritized roadmap grounded in real risk, not framework checklists.

Who it’s for
You just got a 847-question security assessment from your biggest prospect.

Your CTO is spending 15 hours a week on security reviews instead of building product.

The buyer wants a call with "your security team" and you're not sure who to put on it.

Or: you have Vanta, you passed the audit, and the dashboard is green, but the buyer's CISO is asking about key rotation practices
Outcome
Your CTO goes from 15 hours a week on security to 2.

Your enterprise buyers get answers that come from real operational experience.

Your board gets a security narrative grounded in evidence, not aspirational framework language.

Your security program scales from Series A through growth stage — built on what actually reduces risk, not what looks good on a slide.

What the First 90 Days Look Like
Month 1: We learn your architecture, your buyer requirements, your current gaps, and your actual threat surface. We identify what matters and — just as importantly — what doesn't.

‍Month 2–3: We're fielding buyer calls, managing questionnaire escalations, and building your security roadmap. Prioritized by what we've seen actually lead to compromise across hundreds of enterprise engagements — not by what a framework says you should worry about.

‍By Month 6: Your CTO has their time back. Your enterprise deals have a credible security voice behind them. Your security hire has strategic direction instead of an endless queue. And you know exactly what to invest in next — and what to defer.
The Math
A full-time experienced CISO costs conservatively $350K fully loaded and takes 6–12 months to find. A good senior security engineer starts at at least $200K and 3–6 months to hire.

Meanwhile, your team is distracted with security questions, questionnaires pile up, and unaware of security debt piling up, and there's no roadmap for how to fix it all. An Adversis advisory engagement with a team's worth of expertise starts in weeks, at a fraction of one hire.

And when you're ready to bring someone on full-time, we help you define the role so you hire the right person — not some impossible job description that sits open for a year.

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 does the engagement actually look like day-to-day?

Early on, we're deep in your architecture, your buyer requirements, and your gaps. Within a few weeks, we're save you time with security procurement calls, managing questionnaire responses, building your roadmap, and helping with what to prioritize — and what to skip. The engagement evolves as your pipeline and your program mature. The people who scope your engagement are the people who do the work.

We have Vanta / Drata. What does Adversis add?

Vanta handles evidence collection and monitoring, and it's valuable. But it can't get on the call when the buyer's CISO has architecture questions. It can't run a pen test. It can't tell you which of the 47 controls it monitors actually matter for your specific threat surface. And it can't write the security roadmap your board is asking for. We're the expertise layer that makes your platform investment pay off.

What's the typical engagement length?

Retainer clients typically engage for months to years. Some stay longer because the security landscape evolves and their buyer conversations keep escalating. The relationship grows with your enterprise pipeline — what starts as "help us field this call" often becomes "help us build the program we'll grow into.

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.
