Consulting Rates & Scoping Guide
All pricing presented is informational and tailored to project scope, lines of code (KLOC), architecture complexity, and compliance timelines. We provide formal fixed-price statements of work following an initial scoping call.
Targeted Code Review & API Verification
Focused audits of critical microservices, payment modules, authentication flows, or new API endpoint clusters prior to release.
- Up to 25,000 Lines of Code (KLOC) in review perimeter
- Deep manual inspection of authentication, authorization, and data validation
- Interactive vulnerability reproduction scenarios & proof-of-concept steps
- Single remediation verification review included within 30 days
- Technical debrief session with core developers
Full Application Security Assessment
Comprehensive end-to-end security audits of enterprise web platforms, mobile backends, and multi-tenant architectures.
- Up to 80,000 Lines of Code across frontend, backend, and persistence layers
- Full business logic verification, race condition testing, and token lifecycle audit
- STRIDE threat modeling and trust boundary architecture mapping
- Pull-request ready code patch recommendations with tailored snippets
- Executive compliance summary + CVSS 3.1 technical report
- Two rounds of re-testing post-remediation within 45 days
Architecture Threat Modeling & SDLC Advisory
High-growth engineering teams requiring ongoing principal security guidance, PR reviews, and pipeline hardening.
- Collaborative threat modeling workshops for upcoming architecture epics
- Direct security review of developer Pull Requests in GitHub/GitLab
- Custom AST rule creation and CI/CD security gate implementation
- Bi-weekly engineering coaching sessions and secure coding playbooks
- Dedicated async Slack/Teams channel with principal security auditor
How We Calculate Engagement Scope
Every software architecture has distinct attack surfaces. During our preliminary scoping call, we evaluate four core variables to formulate an accurate, fixed-price quote:
Codebase Volume & Tech Stack
Total active lines of code (KLOC), number of frameworks involved (e.g., Go, Node.js, Python, Java, Rust), and custom ORM or protocol implementations.
Multi-Tenancy & Authorization Complexity
The depth of role-based (RBAC) and attribute-based (ABAC) permissions, multi-tenant isolation requirements, and external federated identity providers.
Integration Perimeter
Number of external payment gateways, webhook receivers, third-party microservices, and message queuing brokers requiring boundary verification.
Delivery Timeline & Urgency
Standard turnaround versus accelerated audit schedules required for emergency investor due diligence or critical compliance releases.
Fixed-Fee Guarantee
Once a Statement of Work (SOW) is signed, our pricing is strictly fixed. We never bill surprise overage hours for deep vulnerability verification or complex proof-of-concept development within agreed repository perimeters.
Verification Re-Audit Included
All standard audit tiers include a complimentary re-test round within 30 to 45 days. We inspect your updated Git commits to verify that reported vulnerabilities are fully resolved prior to production deployment.
