The Cyber Risk Landscape in SaaS
SaaS is targeted because it combines internet-exposed systems, high-volume user access, rapid release cycles, and complex integrations (SSO, third-party services, cloud infrastructure, and customer APIs). Threats typically concentrate in four areas:
1
Customer-facing attack surface
web apps, dashboards, admin panels, public APIs, integrations, tenant boundaries
Payments & monetization flows
billing portals, checkout, PSP integrations, subscription management, invoicing)
2
Identity & access pathways
SSO/SAML/OAuth, privileged admin access, service accounts, CI/CD secrets, third parties
3
Operational resilience
availability risk, incident containment, abuse prevention, recovery readiness
4
Security in SaaS cannot be generic. It must be tested like an attacker would, validated against control requirements, and maintained with clear ownership and ongoing oversight.
Compliance & Regulatory Requirements
We supports certification from start to finish for standards commonly required in finance, including:
How We Secure SaaS Companies
Penetration Testing
SaaS platforms need testing that mirrors real-world attacker behavior across the systems that store customer data and expose internet-facing functionality.
We deliver comprehensive penetration testing across:
- Web application testing (public-facing and internal)
- Mobile application testing (iOS & Android)
- Infrastructure penetration (internal and external networks)
- Cloud environment testing (AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid setups)
Compliance and Regulation
In SaaS, compliance is not paperwork, it’s proof. Proof that controls exist, are implemented correctly, and can withstand customer and auditor scrutiny.
We support compliance certification end-to-end, including:
- Gap analysis and risk mapping
- Policy and procedure development
- Evidence collection and audit readiness
- Remediation planning and execution support
- Coordination and guidance through certification
SaaS companies often need security leadership that can translate technical risk into business action, without slowing product velocity or growth.
Our provides CISO-as-a-Service including:
- Strategic security planning
- Risk management
- Policy development
- Ongoing advisory and continuous improvement
