Security assessments for startups

Know where sensitive systems are exposed.

For healthtech, fintech, and B2B SaaS startups, we test the applications, APIs, cloud, identity, and data flows behind health information, payments, SOC 2 customer expectations, and other sensitive operations. Findings are validated, fixes are retested, and the scope is documented.

Not sure where to start?

Make three quick choices about your systems, security context, and testing focus. After you send the contact form, we will show an indicative engagement and what to discuss with our team.

This is a scoping guide, not a scan or security verdict. Dravian will confirm the actual scope with you.

Where are you now?

Pick the right engagement

Start with the systems in scope. Go as deep as they require.

HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 tell us what context to discuss. The number of systems, data paths, and testing objectives determines the actual engagement.

01 / 04

Launch

A clear starting point

A focused assessment of one primary product, its agreed APIs, one cloud environment, and a defined external attack surface.

Best for: One bounded product and a concrete customer or sensitive-data trigger

02 / 04

Growth

For a broader surface

Multi-surface testing when applications, APIs, cloud, and identity expand beyond a single bounded product.

Best for: Multiple applications or environments and repeat customer reviews

03 / 04

Scale

For complex systems

A tailored, deeper assessment of complex environments, connected attack paths, and high-stakes data flows.

Best for: Complex health, payment, or other sensitive-data environments

04 / 04

Continuous

Stay ahead of change

Ongoing, change-aware validation with a current record of findings, fixes, retests, and shareable evidence.

Best for: Teams that need fresh evidence as systems and requirements change

Launch / Defined scope

Focused, not company-wide.

Launch covers one primary web application, its agreed APIs, one cloud environment, and a defined external attack surface. We agree on assets, identities, boundaries, and exclusions before testing begins.

Testing

Application and API security, authentication and authorization, business logic, a cloud and IAM baseline, targeted source review, secrets and exposures, and relevant attack paths.

Outcomes

Human-validated findings, remediation guidance, retesting, a technical report, executive brief, scoped attestation, and customer and auditor evidence packs.

When to expand

Several applications, many independent APIs, multiple cloud environments, extensive repositories, or connected AI agents need a Growth or Scale scope.

What is included

A clear view of coverage.

The exact scope is agreed with your team before testing. Every engagement includes human validation, remediation guidance, retesting, and a shareable record of the assessment. Testing can support a broader compliance program, but does not replace an audit or certify compliance.

Delivery times describe the initial assessment and are confirmed with the scope. Retest timing depends on when fixes are ready. AI security can be standalone; Continuous keeps evidence current with periodic formal snapshots.

What stays consistent

From test to trust.

Your team gets findings it can fix and an independent record it can use with buyers and auditors. We document scope and limitations so the evidence says exactly what was tested.

What does a validated finding look like?

Read an anonymized production briefing with confirmed impact, a public evidence summary, and recommended corrections. The public briefing does not include a retest outcome.

Tell us what information you handle, which systems matter, and what evidence you need. We will scope an engagement around your environment and timeline.
