One engagement, Fintech, 2026. Confirmed findings after triage.
Situation
A security questionnaire arrived, and answering it is nobody's job.
ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, DORA. The gap between the policy and what is actually running has to close before it.
Last year's report is still open, and the scanners keep producing output nobody reads.
Something ships every week and no one is looking at it.
The other cost is time
Recruit, onboard, start: the first result lands two quarters in. DevShield starts in week one. Move the slider to your own hiring reality.
Find yourself here
Security is eight domains, not one hire. Covering them yourself rarely adds up.
A strong engineer owns a few domains well. Cloud, identity, response and compliance wait for the next hire.
the gap you can't seeThree specialists need a fourth to lead them, plus a recruitment fee on every seat. The org chart grows before the security does.
the overhead nobody quotesHiring an experienced AppSec engineer takes three months or more, and costs more than the whole programme.
the bill before the valueResponse
Monitoring and response run around the clock from Tier 2 upwards.
With & without
One subscription for the whole team and all eight domains. No recruitment fee, no idle salary.
The roadmap and assessment land immediately; critical work closes in the first quarter.
Three to five specialists at once, the breadth one hire can't hold.
Each domain is another hire, and three of them need a fourth to manage.
Recruit, onboard, ramp: the first outcome is two quarters away.
Strong in a few domains, thin across the rest.
DevShield is the only one of the five that covers all of it.
One engineer covers a few of these deeply and the rest on the side.
Code, dependencies, the pentest.
Configuration, secrets, blast radius.
Segmentation, edge, exposure.
Access, privilege, joiners & leavers.
Detection, on-call, the recovery plan.
The framework you're held to.
Phishing simulation, the human layer.
Backups, continuity, tested recovery.
Method
The roadmap lands in week one. The team works the whole surface in parallel and closes what is critical first.
SAST, SCA and secret scanning; CIS cloud posture; an initial black-box product test.
Proposed from what the assessment found, not chosen from a menu.
Twelve months, sequenced by dependency: coverage before refactoring, baseline before hardening, gates last.
Every finding has a full record, an owner and a date. Two reports a month: engineering and board.
The first quarter runs at full intensity, the rest is maintenance. The monthly price stays the same.

Tiers and coverage
A single product, one environment, a small engineering team
Several services, more than one cloud, releases most weeks
A larger estate with its own release trains and compliance obligations
Multi-cloud, thousands of workloads, security work running continuously
The level is proposed after the assessment, and it moves during the year: up when the work grows, down when it settles.
Pricing · the arithmetic
Six ways to measure the same twelve months. Change any assumption and the chart recalculates on your numbers.
For eight domains, three to five specialists in the first quarter, and the tooling run for you.
The twelve-month roadmap exists. It is the plan the year runs on, not a proposal.
The unit is the engineer-month. Set it to your own cost and every line converts.
Critical work closed on the first road map against the share of the annual subscription paid. Illustrative.

Ahead of the bill
+53pts
The gap between value delivered and fee paid at the end of the first quarter.
By the end of the first quarter most of the critical work is closed, while a quarter of the year has been paid. The remaining nine months keep it that way.
Monthly allowances rise with the tier. Work beyond them continues and is billed by the hour.

Proof
Product company running on AWS, with a legacy codebase and a migration to serverless already underway.
They came with an open penetration test report and no owner for its findings. The assessment then found secrets in the repository, dead code still deployed, unreviewed access and nothing reading code before it shipped.
