For SaaS teams selling to enterprise buyers

Will your SaaS pass the enterprise security review when buyers ask for proof?

Pentecton reviews your SaaS architecture, product security and technical controls, then gives your team a clear risk snapshot, evidence map and remediation roadmap for enterprise buyers.

You're probably here because

  • A customer is asking hard security questions
  • Your deal is stuck in a security review
  • Your architecture grew without a clear security model
  • Your auth flows and trust boundaries are hard to explain
  • You want to fix product security before it becomes expensive

The Problem

Security architecture issues surface earlier than teams expect

Cloud platforms, APIs, distributed systems, and AI features create security risks that often show up too late - during audits, customer reviews, or penetration tests.

Many of these problems start earlier in the architecture: authorization models, trust boundaries, service-to-service communication, tenant isolation, and integration patterns that create systemic risk before code-level testing begins.

Reviewing these decisions earlier helps teams reduce risk, avoid expensive redesigns, and move into scale, audits, and enterprise deals with fewer security surprises.

Background

Built on experience securing large-scale systems

Security architecture and product security experience from Auth0, Okta and Snowflake - building and reviewing security for cloud platforms used by millions of users. Grounded in offensive security, vulnerability research and hands-on technical analysis.

Sound Familiar?

When companies typically reach out

This is usually the point where standard testing or compliance work is no longer enough, and architecture-level security decisions need attention.

  • Enterprise customers are asking security questions you can't fully answer yet
  • You're scaling your platform and security gaps are becoming harder to ignore
  • You're shipping AI features and aren't sure what new risks they introduce
  • An audit or compliance review is coming and you want to fix gaps before they're found
  • A penetration test revealed deeper architectural issues you weren't expecting
  • Security is becoming a blocker and you want to address it earlier in the development cycle

Process

How engagements work

01

Introductory call

Understanding your system and security needs.

02

System understanding

Deep-dive into architecture, data flows and integrations.

03

Security assessment

Technical analysis of architecture and security controls.

04

Architecture recommendations

Prioritized improvements with practical remediation.

Typical situations

When architecture review becomes necessary

SaaS platform entering enterprise sales

Situation

Enterprise deals kept stalling on security questionnaires the team couldn't confidently answer. The platform had scaled fast with no architecture-level security review since the early days.

What we reviewed

API authorization model, service-to-service trust boundaries, tenant isolation, and credential flows.

What the client got

A prioritized map of architectural weak points, helping the team close the critical gaps before the next enterprise review.

AI product entering a regulated environment

Situation

LLM features were being added to a platform serving regulated clients. Strong ML team, but no one had mapped the AI-specific trust boundaries or data exposure risks.

What we reviewed

Prompt and response data flows, model access control, abuse scenarios, and adversarial input handling.

What the client got

An AI-specific threat model and architectural design changes focused on the highest-risk data flows.

Growth-stage SaaS hitting recurring review friction

Situation

Similar concerns kept surfacing in enterprise security reviews - around identity, access design, and how customer data was separated across the platform.

What we reviewed

Authentication flows, authorization boundaries, tenant isolation, and security assumptions behind key integrations.

What the client got

An architectural remediation plan focused on the issues most likely to slow enterprise onboarding.

If this sounds familiar, let's discuss your architecture.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a SaaS Security Readiness Review?

A technical review of your system architecture that finds the systemic security weaknesses likely to surface during enterprise sales, audits, or rapid scaling. It examines trust boundaries, authorization models, integrations, and infrastructure design, then returns a prioritized remediation plan. The point is to know where you stand before a customer's security team asks.

How do I prepare for an enterprise security review or security questionnaire?

Understand your own architecture the way a reviewer will: data flows, authentication and authorization, tenant isolation, and third-party exposure. Most teams find their first gaps in access control and integration boundaries. A structured readiness review maps these risks and produces the evidence and answers enterprise questionnaires ask for, so the deal does not stall.

How much does a security review cost?

Each engagement is quoted per system after a short intro call. The fee depends on the number of systems, integrations and architecture complexity, and whether AI features or extra evidence mapping are in scope. Larger scopes and ongoing advisory are quoted individually.

How is this different from a penetration test?

A penetration test looks for exploitable bugs in a running system. An architecture review looks for structural weaknesses in how the system is designed: weak trust boundaries, unclear authorization models, risky integrations. A pentest finds the open window; an architecture review asks why the wall was built there. Both matter, and they answer different questions.

Who runs PENTECTON?

PENTECTON is led by Radoslaw Karpowicz, a security architect who worked on identity and product security at Auth0, Okta, and Snowflake. He is OSCP certified, a published security researcher, and discovered 0-day vulnerabilities affecting hundreds of macOS applications.

What happens after the review?

You get a prioritized findings report and a 30/60/90 day remediation plan written for both engineers and leadership. After that, PENTECTON can stay involved to review fixes, support enterprise security questionnaires, or advise as the architecture changes. The report is written so your team can act on it without ongoing help.

Know where your security architecture stands before it becomes a blocker

A 30-minute call is enough to understand your system, identify the highest-risk areas, and decide whether a focused review would help.
