SECURITY · PENETRATION TEST

No independent pentest yet.

Scheduled 2027-Q1. Compensating controls in place. This page will publish the findings summary and remediation status once the test completes.

UPDATED 2026-08-06

Enterprise procurement asks for a pentest summary and we don't have one to give yet. This page is the honest state: what's coming, when, and what we've done in the meantime to make sure the eventual findings are small.

Why we don't have one yet

Third-party pentests are useful once a product has enough surface area to be worth testing and enough revenue to fund a real firm's engagement (typical range $25-50K). We hit the second threshold in mid-2026; the engagement is now in procurement. Doing it sooner would have produced a report with limited value ('the code has since been rewritten') and used runway that was better spent on features + hiring an in-house security review.

Compensating controls until the test lands

  • Static analysis on every PR (Semgrep + type-safe TypeScript strict mode).
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning weekly (Dependabot + npm audit); high-severity CVEs patched within 48 hours.
  • Multi-tenant isolation at the database layer verified via row-level security policies + property-based tests.
  • Standing production access limited to one named person; MFA required; audit logs retained. See /security/access-controls.
  • Coordinated-disclosure program (see /security/vulnerability-disclosure) accepting external researcher reports.
  • Anthropic (our LLM provider) is SOC 2 Type II certified; our reliance on their infrastructure inherits some of their controls at the inference layer.

What the summary will look like when it publishes

A table of findings by severity (critical / high / medium / low / informational), remediation status per finding, and the remediation date. The full report will not be public — that's standard for pentest reports to avoid publishing exploit paths — but it's available under NDA to enterprise customers who ask.
