Security Partner
Independent testing inside your client engagement.
For GRC and vCISO firms with client testing requirements, and product agencies needing independent validation before handoff. Start with a qualified client project and the delivery problem you need to solve.
Two partner paths
Your relationship. A defined delivery model.
AI & product development agencies
Validate the applications, agents, retrieval systems, and tools you build before an enterprise launch or handoff. Define independent test scope and client authorization for each project.
Scope & deliverables
What the engagement covers.
Referral
Introduce a client with a defined requirement. DevBrows scopes and delivers directly, with any referral terms agreed separately in writing.
Co-delivery
Retain the client relationship and coordinate delivery. Agree technical ownership, communications, report attribution, evidence sharing, and retest responsibilities.
Volume-based economics
Commercial terms can reflect committed volume, predictable scheduling, and delivery responsibilities. Test depth and scope remain explicit.
SaaS and AI delivery
Choose SaaS pentesting, AI application and agent assessment, or an annual assurance plan for the client’s requirements. The report is tied to each authorized client scope.
Partner delivery pack
Review the delivery model before the first referral.
Public sample · v1.0 · 9 October 2026
A worked scope and handoff plan
Inspect the sample scope, report structure, quality-review gates and client handoff expectations before discussing a first project.
Illustrative planning material. The example system and results are fictional. Dates, people, included time, retest window and commercial terms are confirmed in each proposal.
Sample scope
A fictional staging application and API, two tenants and six controlled identities. The worked scope covers report access, an agent refund tool and private memory.
- Named assets, builds, roles and permitted workflows
- Buyer report requirements and access readiness
- Exclusions, stop conditions and scope-change decisions
Report structure
Document control, an executive summary, coverage and authority maps, reproducible findings, remediation, retest status and an evidence appendix.
- Stable finding IDs across the baseline and addendum
- Controlled evidence and severity assumptions
- Buyer summary that retains material limitations
Quality-review steps
Agree a named, technically capable reviewer and four release gates. Record comments, corrections and the release decision.
- Scope readiness and authorization
- Technical evidence, coverage and severity review
- Redaction, versions and recipient approval
Client handoff expectations
Define who receives the report, who owns fixes, how scoped retesting works and which evidence can reach the buyer.
- Agreed escalation channel and secure report transfer
- Workshop time, fix owners and a retest window
- Client contact, attribution, access removal and retention
Start with one qualified client project. Confirm technical fit, report requirements and available capacity before committing dates. Review the first delivery together before agreeing reserved capacity or volume terms.
Commercial scope
Know what you are commissioning.
Custom scope-based commercial terms. Direct SaaS testing starts at $9,500; AI assessment starting scopes are $12K–$20K. Referral economics, co-delivery responsibilities, and committed volume are agreed in writing. Partner pricing does not imply reduced technical coverage.
Before work begins, agree delivery dates, authorized access, exclusions, data handling, and payment terms. Review our methodology and report expectations.
Practical answers
Before we start.
Who is this for?
SOC 2/ISO readiness consultants, GRC and vCISO firms, MSPs serving software companies, and AI/product agencies that need independent validation before enterprise handoff.
Can we keep the client relationship?
Yes. The engagement defines relationship ownership, permitted client contact, escalation paths, confidentiality, report sharing, and commercial responsibilities.
Can you deliver under our brand?
White-label delivery can be discussed after agreeing client authorization, attribution, reporting, confidentiality, and operational responsibilities. Referral and co-delivery are the standard starting points.
How do we scope the first client?
Bring one qualified client scope, the report reviewer’s requirements, dates, expected project volume, and the problems you face with current delivery. We confirm technical fit, capacity, ownership, and client authorization before agreeing work.
