Secure MVP
Secure MVP Development
Our secure MVP development puts a real product in front of users in 6–8 weeks without gambling on security. We threat-model at design, build in weekly releases with authentication and the OWASP baseline done properly, run a security review before launch, and hand you code and infrastructure you fully own. The result is an MVP that can survive both your first users and your first customer's security questionnaire, not a prototype you'll quietly rewrite in six months.
Is this you?
- You're a founder who needs to ship and start learning from real users this quarter.
- Your buyers are businesses, so “we'll add security later” will fail the first vendor review.
- You've seen agency MVPs get thrown away and rebuilt, and want to skip that step.
What you get
Scope that fits the timeline
Week one is spent cutting, not adding: we reduce the idea to the smallest product worth shipping, agree a fixed scope and estimate, and say plainly if 6–8 weeks isn't realistic.
Security engineered in
A threat model at design time, authentication and access control done properly, the OWASP Top 10 covered, and a dedicated security review before anything goes live.
Production infrastructure from day one
CI/CD, monitoring and alerting are wired in with the first deploy, so launch day is a non-event rather than a ceremony.
Full ownership
Code, infrastructure and accounts sit in your name from the start, with documentation an in-house team could pick up tomorrow. No lock-in, no hostage repositories.
How we work
- 01
Scope and threat model (week 1)
We define the smallest shippable product, sketch the architecture and threat-model it before code, so security decisions are design decisions rather than patches.
- 02
Ship weekly (weeks 2–5)
Working software lands every week behind CI/CD, so you steer with running code in your hands instead of status decks.
- 03
Harden and review (weeks 6–7)
We test against the threat model, close the gaps and run a pre-launch security review, the same discipline our security team applies to client audits.
- 04
Launch and defend (week 8 on)
Go-live with monitoring and alerting already on, then we stay for patches, iteration and 24/7 coverage, or hand over cleanly to your in-house team.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A well-scoped MVP takes 6–8 weeks to reach production. The variable is scope, not typing speed, which is why we spend the first week cutting the idea down to the smallest product worth shipping. If what you need genuinely can't fit that window, we say so before you commit rather than discovering it together in week five.
Threat modelling at design time, authentication and access control built properly instead of patched later, the OWASP Top 10 covered, sane secrets handling, and a security review before launch. It matters early because B2B customers send security questionnaires before contracts, and retrofitting security into a rushed codebase usually costs more than the original build.
It depends on scope, which is exactly what the first week pins down: you get a fixed scope and estimate before committing to the build. For a ballpark before talking to anyone, our cost calculator estimates build and running costs from the features you select.
Yes, entirely and from day one. Repositories, cloud accounts and domains are created in your name, and the handover includes documentation a future in-house team can pick up without us in the room. If you leave, everything works exactly as it did the day before.
Launch is the start of the useful part. Monitoring and alerting are already running, and most clients keep us on for iteration, patches and 24/7 coverage while the product finds its footing. If you're building an in-house team instead, we hand over cleanly and can help you hire it.
