Security risks
Obvious exposure around access, secrets, sessions and production configuration.
Production assurance for AI-built applications
Before you ship,
find out what
production may expose.
A human-reviewed assessment of the security, deployment, reliability and operational controls around your application before — or shortly after — it reaches real users.

The problem
It works — but is it ready for production?
AI-assisted development can get an application working remarkably quickly. Production introduces a different question: what did rapid development leave behind?
Our Production Assurance service helps surface the risks before your users have to.
Deployment issues
Configuration and environment mistakes that become expensive after launch.
Reliability concerns
Fragile dependencies, missing recovery paths and weak failure visibility.
AI & automation risks
Unbounded permissions, failure handling and avoidable model or API exposure.
What we review
Eight key areas of production readiness.

Assurance
What you receive
A prioritized human review — not another automated scan.
We turn observations into a concise, practical body of evidence your team can act on before launch.
The audit identifies material production risks within the agreed scope. It does not certify complete security, defect-free operation or immunity from failure.

Scope matters
Clear boundaries make better assurance.
Production Assurance is a bounded review. It is deliberately not sold as certification, unlimited engineering support or an exhaustive attack simulation.
- Not a full penetration test
- No destructive exploitation
- Not formal compliance certification
- No unlimited remediation
- No continuous monitoring
- No guarantee against compromise or downtime
Founding availability
Currently accepting a limited number
of founding Production Assurance engagements.
Reviews are delivered manually by humans, so initial availability is intentionally limited.
This allows us to maintain quality, focus and direct communication with each client.
FAQ
Questions before you request an audit?
What kinds of applications do you review?
Functioning applications approaching launch, recently launched, or entering meaningful production use, especially AI-assisted or rapidly developed software.
Is this a penetration test?
No. The Production Assurance Audit is a bounded production-readiness assessment. Full penetration testing and destructive exploitation are outside standard scope.
Do you fix the issues you find?
The standard audit provides evidence and remediation guidance. Implementation work is not included.
What access will you need?
That depends on scope. We may request the application URL, test accounts, deployment information, documentation and appropriate read-only access where required.
How quickly will I receive the report?
The standard target is within five business days after scope is accepted and all required access has been supplied.
Does this certify my application as secure?
No. It is an independent review of material production risks within the agreed scope, not a guarantee or formal certification.
What happens after I request an audit?
We first confirm qualification, scope and authorization. Payment is requested only when the engagement can be responsibly scheduled and delivered.
