FAQs

How much does it cost?

We bill in 15-minute increments with a clear description of every task. You can set a monthly cap so costs stay predictable. There are no retainers and no minimums—you only pay for what you need, with no commitments. It’s a leaner, more transparent model than the ongoing costs of in-house teams or the inflated fees of other firms—while still giving you enterprise-grade security expertise on demand.

How do I explain the spend to my board?

Security is a growth driver. Enterprise customers and investors expect proof points like SOC 2 or ISO 42001 before moving forward—78% of enterprises say they won’t sign without them, and the average breach now costs nearly $5M. We show your board how security spend ties directly to revenue by unblocking deals, speeding diligence, and building investor confidence.

How long does it take?

We move faster because we embed directly with your team. In-house hires can take months to recruit and onboard, while large firms rely on rigid playbooks. With us, you get a tailored, right-sized team. Recently, we took a client from zero to SOC 2 Type 2 in five months, where other firms take over a year.

How Augment Code got 15x lead growth after closing SOC 2 Type 2 gaps with YSecurity

How do you figure out what's right for us?

We only work with you if security will move your business forward—that’s what we figure out in a free discovery call. We look at your stage, the deals you want to close in the next six months, and your market. If we see how security can accelerate your growth, we’ll right-size a team to match.

Book a free discovery call

How exactly will we work together?
  1. Free discovery first. We start with a 15-minute call to identify your opportunities, define success for your company, and draft a gap analysis at no cost.
  2. Tailored planning. In 1–2 follow-up 30-minute calls, we refine your goals and outline a clear plan. This is also when you can set a monthly cap so costs stay predictable. The whole scoping process usually takes about a week.
  3. Fast kickoff. Within one business day of approval, we send the contract. If you already have a security lead, we partner with them directly. If you don’t, we assign you one of ours. In a 30-minute kickoff call, your lead helps right-size your security team—whether that means YSecurity operators, your internal staff, or a blend of both.
  4. Embedded execution. Your YSecurity team meets with you regularly to deliver on the plan. Behind the scenes, our leads also meet weekly to share insights and support each other—without billing you for that collaboration.
Do you come into the office?

Yes. While most of our work is done remotely, our operators join onsite whenever it’s needed—primarily in the Bay Area, as well as New York, Boston, Austin, Denver, Minneapolis, and more. We often work so seamlessly with your team that people don’t realize we’re an outside firm.

Do you have an office?

No. We’re a remote-first company—so we don’t pass on office overhead. That means every dollar you spend goes directly into improving your security. And if we need to be onsite, our operators can come to your office.

What if I already have a security person?

If you already have a security lead, we partner with them directly—our operators fill gaps and add bandwidth where needed. If you don’t, your dedicated YSecurity lead takes that role and can direct your in-house staff or manage projects end-to-end. Either way, we embed seamlessly with your team.

When should we build an in-house team?

Building in-house makes sense once your product and compliance needs are mature and your budget can support ongoing salaries, training, and tools. But no one starts there. Security roles often take months to hire and up to half a year to reach full productivity, with significant onboarding overhead along the way.

For most companies, YSecurity is the faster, leaner option. You avoid long recruiting cycles and fixed headcount costs while getting a right-sized team embedded from day one. When you’re ready for a full in-house function, we’ll help you transition smoothly.

Can you join sales calls and help us?

Yes. We join your sales team as part of the call as your security leaders. Our operators handle RFPs, DDQs, white papers, enterprise due diligence calls, contract redlining, and deal negotiations, making sure your team shows up with authority and turns security into revenue.
