Questions We Often Hear

"How is this different from hiring offshore developers or junior consultants?"

Offshore teams and junior consultants cost less per hour but require significant oversight, often from your CTO or senior engineers. We're productive from day one because we've built these exact systems many times. Consider the opportunity cost: your CTO spending months translating generic advice versus shipping features. Many clients find the total cost is competitive when factoring in their team's time and faster time-to-value.

"Can't our team just figure this out?"

Absolutely, if you have senior security architecture expertise, spare capacity, and experience with your specific compliance framework. Many teams we work with tried the DIY approach first. They came to us when they realized the opportunity cost of pulling engineers off product work, or when their first audit revealed gaps they didn't know to look for. We help compress the learning curve through our specialized experience.

"We're not ready to commit to a large engagement yet"

Fair. That's why we offer pilot programs - focused 1-4 week engagements that demonstrate our expertise and deliver real value. You see how we work, we assess fit, and then you decide if a larger engagement makes sense. No pressure to commit beyond the pilot.
