Social Engineering

Test the human side
of your security

Most security incidents start with a person—a convincing email, a phone call, a message that seems legitimate. Technical controls matter, but so does knowing where your team is vulnerable to these approaches.

We test that layer through realistic simulations, so you know where the risks are before someone else finds them.

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 already use Vanta / Drata / a compliance platform.

Keep using them — they're great at automating evidence collection and getting you through your SOC 2 audit. We pick up where they stop: the live security call with your prospect's team, the custom questionnaire questions that fall outside your audit scope, and pen testing that holds up when a buyer's security team actually reads the report. Instead of your CTO spending weeks figuring out what enterprise buyers expect and how to talk about your security posture, you hand it to us. Compliance platforms get you the certificate. We get you through the security review.

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.

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.

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