Security should not be a luxury line item.

Enterprise firms price startups out. Scanners sell noise and call it coverage. Secatix ends that trade-off: real human offensive security, tight scope, honest price.

Mission

No company should have to choose between shipping fast and being secure. We started Secatix because the pentest market split into two broken halves: $50k enterprise engagements with three-week lead times, and $500 scanner reports that find nothing an attacker would care about.

We do the middle correctly: senior testers, manual work and fixed scope — at a price a seed-stage company can approve in one meeting.

Belief

We hack your systems first, ethically and carefully, so real attackers cannot. A vulnerability that is reported but not reproduced is a hypothesis. We only report what we proved — see how the method removes hypotheses.

Accessibility is not dilution. The same method an enterprise firm uses, applied to a scope a startup can actually fund.

What we do, measured honestly

  • Accomplished — helping startups and growth-stage companies secure their public-facing assets.
  • Measured by — confirmed, exploitable vulnerabilities, not scanner noise.
  • By doing — focused manual web, API, network and AI/LLM penetration testing at startup-affordable prices.

How we work

Three commitments, no marketing adjectives.

  • No noiseFindings are manually validated. If we cannot exploit it, it does not inflate your backlog.
  • No jargonExecutive summary for investors, reproduction steps for engineers. Both readable, both honest.
  • No upsellFixed scope agreed before we start. The quote you approve is the invoice you pay.

The testers behind the findings

Small and senior. Every engagement is run by the people you talk to — not handed down to juniors.

  • Founder / Lead TesterRuns every engagement end to end. Certifications and references shared before the call.
  • Senior Tester — Web & APIAuthorization, session logic and business-logic abuse. Sample reports on request.
  • Senior Tester — NetworkExternal and internal infrastructure, Active Directory attack paths.
  • Tester — AI / LLMPrompt injection, agent tool abuse and model integration testing.

Offense, within reach.
