Why startups choose Simpa Labs
You don't need a six-week engagement with an enterprise consulting firm. You need to know where your app is vulnerable right now, and how to fix it before Friday.
Fast scoping
No endless discovery calls. We look at your architecture diagram, align on the critical paths, and give you a start date. We can usually begin within a week.
Actionable outputs
Startups don't have dedicated security teams to interpret reports. We give your software engineers exactly what they need: the payload to reproduce the bug, and the code snippet to fix it.
Diligence ready
When VCs or enterprise partners ask for a third-party security review, handing them a Simpa Labs report proves you take engineering rigor seriously.
Direct access
No project managers serving as middlemen. Your engineers talk directly to the engineers who tested your platform via a shared Slack channel during the engagement.
The cost of skipping security
A fast-growing Nigerian startup pushed a new referral feature on a Friday. An IDOR flaw in the reward endpoint allowed an attacker to claim rewards for every user in the database. Over $40,000 was drained over the weekend before the team noticed. A basic logic review would have found it in an hour.
Ship fast. Just don't ship critical vulnerabilities.

We're pre-Seed. Are we too early?
If you're moving real money or handling sensitive data (like BVNs), you aren't too early. Attackers don't wait for your Series A. We offer scoped engagements specifically designed for early-stage budgets.
Can this report be shared with investors?
Yes. In fact, many teams engage us specifically to clear technical due diligence before closing a round. We provide management summaries that clearly communicate risk posture to VCs.
Do you integrate with our CI/CD?
For continuous testing clients, yes. We can provide guidance on setting up SAST/DAST tools in your pipelines to catch low-hanging fruit automatically, reserving our manual time for complex logic flaws.
