The enterprise deal is stuck in security review
Procurement has the questionnaire. Their CISO has follow-up questions. The deal slipped a quarter and the team doesn't know whether to push back, escalate, or accept new scope.

Free 30-Minute Security Blocker Review
A 30-minute working call with a senior security operator who has cleared dozens of enterprise reviews for SaaS startups. Bring the live blocker - the stalled deal, the SOC 2 questionnaire, the AI feature shipping next week. Walk out with the top one to three real blockers ranked by deal impact and a sprint brief ready to execute within 72 hours.
The sprint costs $4,500. The deal at risk is worth $200K–$1M. The quarter you lose trying to DIY costs more than the sprint.
No pitch. No pre-call questionnaire. No sales follow-up if you say "not now."
Best Fit When
You are too close to the deal to guess what to fix first
Built for SaaS startup moments where security is actively affecting revenue and the team needs the right diagnosis before signing up for the wrong six-month program.
A buyer asked for SOC 2 evidence (and your platform isn't enough)
Automated compliance tools handle continuous monitoring and policy evidence - but the buyer wants specific answers, an AI architecture summary, and explanations that no automated tool can generate. The Blocker Review identifies exactly what is missing and what needs to happen in the next 72 hours.
Launch confidence is lower than it should be
App, API, cloud, identity, multi-tenant boundaries - the team has a gut feeling something is exposed and would rather validate now than after a breach makes it a public headline.
The AI feature is raising buyer questions nobody can answer yet
Prompt injection, AI data flow, third-party LLM trust, model governance - enterprise procurement now asks all of it. "We're figuring it out" stops working when a buyer's CISO joins the call.
What Happens on the Call
Bring the blocker. Leave with the sprint brief.
No pitch deck. No discovery framework. A senior operator and your team - 30 minutes - the truth about what is blocking the deal and what it takes to fix it credibly.
1. Bring the live pressure
The stalled deal, the open questionnaire, the launch concern, the AI feature, the buyer email you don't want to answer yet. We need the actual artefact, not a generic description.
2. We rank what is actually blocking the deal
One to three real blockers, ranked by buyer impact and time-to-fix - not 47 items from a maturity model. We're explicit about which fixes will close the deal vs. which can wait.
3. Knowing the blocker is not the same as fixing it credibly
Your internal team can name the problem. Your developer can patch a setting. But a buyer's CISO does not accept a self-attested fix - they need a written AI architecture summary, a defensible questionnaire narrative, and evidence that holds up under follow-up. That is not a 72-hour internal task. That is what the sprint produces. The Blocker Review tells you exactly which sprint to run; the sprint delivers the output your buyer will actually accept.
4. Leave with the sprint brief - not just the diagnosis
The call ends with a ranked blocker list and a sprint brief: the scoped input document that launches execution within 72 hours. The brief defines the exact questionnaire sections to address, the evidence gaps to close, and the output format your buyer expects. Naming the blocker is where the call ends. Fixing it credibly is where the sprint begins.
AI-Assisted, Expert-Reviewed
AI finds more signal. Senior operators decide what matters.
Targeted automation surfaces gaps faster. Every recommendation is owned and signed off by a senior security operator who has cleared enterprise reviews for SaaS startups before.
AI-assisted pattern matching
We use AI assistants and targeted tools to spot evidence gaps, exposure patterns, questionnaire friction, and AI-related risk signals in your context faster than a manual scan would.
Senior human ownership
No junior consultant, no AI-only output. A senior operator interprets the signal, adds buyer-side business context, and writes the recommendation in language your CTO and your buyer's CISO will both find defensible.
Review Questions
What SaaS startup founders usually ask before booking
Yes, free. The catch: we only sell sprints to teams who actually need them. The Blocker Review is how we both decide. About a third of calls end with us recommending you stay with your existing platform and tighten one internal process - and that's a good outcome.
No. It's a focused diagnosis of the live blocker. If you need a deeper sprint or third-party assessment, we'll tell you exactly which one and why.
The actual artefact: the buyer questionnaire, the SOC 2 evidence request, the AI feature spec, the launch checklist, the email from procurement. We work better from real documents than from "we have a security thing we should probably look at."
No. DevBrows uses purpose-built open-source AI to surface your control posture and evidence gaps directly from your stack - cloud, identity, code repos, existing policies. No platform subscription required before or after. The Blocker Review identifies exactly what is missing and which of the 142 questions will actually kill the deal, then maps the fastest path to sprint launch.
No. Sprints are scoped, fixed-price, and start at USD 4,500. About a third of calls end with us recommending an internal tightening - no sprint required. Where a sprint does help, we explain the exact scope and price before you commit. The Blocker Review produces a sprint brief either way; you decide whether to use it with DevBrows or take it forward independently.
