FAQ
Security that adapts to how you actually work, not the other way around.
Most security consultants are generalists who apply the same checklist to every company, regardless of size, stack, or risk profile. Careful Security was built specifically for mid-market SaaS companies that need to move fast without cutting corners. We combine senior practitioner expertise with proprietary Dashr.ai compliance automation to deliver audit-ready security programs in 90 days — guaranteed.
Our team is different by design. Every consultant holds CISSP, CISA, GPEN, or GMON certifications and has led security programs at Goldman Sachs, Warner Bros., EA Sports, Pfizer, and State Farm. There are no junior analysts, no offshore contractors, and no bait-and-switch where the senior partner sells and a junior associate delivers. The person who scopes your engagement is the person who writes your policies and sits on the audit calls.
We are fully tool-agnostic, which means we configure and optimize whatever you already own — SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, M365, AWS, Azure, Okta, Splunk, or any other combination. We do not force vendor purchases or push proprietary tools that do not fit your workflow. This saves you money, reduces integration headaches, and ensures your security program is built around how your team actually works, not around a consultant's preferred vendor relationships.
Our 90-Day Compliance Readiness Program compresses what typically takes 6 to 12 months into a fixed, predictable timeline. How? By combining vCISO advisory, hands-on remediation, and Dashr.ai automated evidence collection into a single coordinated engagement. Dashr.ai integrates with your security stack, maps controls to evidence automatically, and surfaces gaps before the auditor does — eliminating the last-minute scrambling that derails most compliance programs.
Pricing is fixed and transparent. You know the total cost before we start. No hourly billing, no change orders for \"out of scope\" work, no surprises when the invoice arrives. Our 90-Day Program starts at $20,000 per framework. Compare that to typical consultant engagements that run $60,000 to $120,000 plus separate tooling costs — and often stretch for months beyond the original estimate.
Across 50+ engagements, every Careful Security client has passed their audit on the first attempt. That is not luck — it is process. We run a mock audit before the real audit, fix every gap, and coordinate directly with your auditor so there are no surprises. The 90-day guarantee exists because we are confident, not because we are optimistic.
