Security monitoring for software companies selling to enterprises.

Software companies where a security questionnaire is now part of every deal, and where the answer to "do you have 24/7 monitoring" decides whether the contract closes.

The problem

Regulated like a large organisation, staffed like a small one.

The blocker is rarely the product. It is the questionnaire: do you have continuous monitoring, do you have an incident response plan, can you evidence both. A SOC 2 auditor will ask for the same things. Building an internal SOC to answer that is not sensible for a thirty person company, and buying a tool that emails alerts to an engineer who is asleep does not survive scrutiny.

What we see

Three attacks that land here.

  1. 01

    Compromise of a developer or admin account

    One set of stolen credentials with production access is worth more to an attacker than an entire office of laptops.

  2. 02

    Cloud misconfiguration reached from a foothold

    An overly permissive role or an exposed storage bucket turns a small intrusion into a customer data incident.

  3. 03

    Session token theft

    Multi-factor authentication is bypassed by stealing the session that follows it, which is why monitoring has to look past the login itself.

How we fit

What this looks like for a saas and technology business.

The service is the same one every client gets. What changes is which evidence matters to you and who is going to ask for it.

  • Continuous monitoring and documented incident response, which are the two questionnaire answers that most often stall a deal.
  • Evidence generated as you go, so the SOC 2 window is not a scramble to reconstruct a year of alerts.
  • Identity threat detection across Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, including session token abuse.
  • A named analyst who can join a customer security call and answer for the monitoring directly.
