The questions we hear most — answered straight.

Timeline depends on complexity. A focused MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks. Mid-complexity apps with custom features range from 14–24 weeks. Enterprise platforms can take 6+ months. We provide a detailed, milestone-by-milestone timeline after the first scoping call, and we hold ourselves to it.

We follow a 4-phase process: Discovery & Strategy (requirements, architecture, timeline), Design & Prototyping (wireframes, validated UI), Agile Development (2-week sprints with demos), and Launch & Support. At every stage you are looking at working software rather than a progress percentage, and the engineer who built it is the one walking you through it.

Yes. We build native iOS (Swift), native Android (Kotlin), and cross-platform applications (React Native, Flutter). During discovery, we help you determine the right approach based on your audience, timeline, budget, and performance requirements.

Yes. We offer structured support plans covering bug fixes, security patches, OS compatibility updates, and feature development. Response times for critical incidents and zero-day patches are set in each support agreement, and routine patching runs in scheduled maintenance windows every two weeks.

The engineer who scopes your project is the one who builds it, and the people who secure it work here rather than at a firm we subcontract. That second part is the unusual one. Most development firms hand the security review to someone else, and most security firms have never had to ship the thing they are reviewing. We would rather lose a deal than agree to a timeline we know is wrong.

An asset inventory to start from, authenticated scanning on a cadence you agree, and manual verification of each finding from configuration and version evidence. Then triage to remove duplicates and false positives, risk-based patch prioritization, remediation tracking, and re-verification once a fix ships. Findings come with CVSS risk ratings, evidence, root cause analysis and remediation guidance, in both technical and executive report formats. More on our vulnerability management page.

It depends on how many applications, APIs, cloud accounts and networks are in scope. Scoping happens first, so you get the number before you commit rather than after. For continuous vulnerability management, the scan cadence and the re-verification after each fix are agreed at the start.

Not if properly scoped. During the scoping phase, we agree which systems are out of bounds, the scanning windows, and how any finding that needs immediate attention is escalated. Authenticated scans read configuration and version data rather than attacking a system. Most engagements are conducted with zero production impact.

Ask us during scoping. We'll tell you who would do the work and what qualifications and experience they bring, so you can judge them yourself rather than rely on a list of badges.

No. SecWiz does not offer penetration testing or red teaming. We focus on defensive security: vulnerability management, security posture assessments and hardening, threat detection and incident response readiness, and Blue Team security services that rehearse how your team responds. If a regulator or customer requires a penetration test, we don't perform it, but we can prepare the scope and evidence for the independent provider you choose and fix what their report finds.

The engineer doing the work is the person you talk to. We are small enough that nobody sits in between relaying messages, which is a fact about our size rather than a policy we could keep at any scale. We work in whatever you already use, usually Slack or Teams with tickets wherever you track them, and every second week you see the software running. If something has slipped, you hear it in that demo rather than in a status report a month later.

Yes. Many clients bring us in as an extension of their own team, to fill a specific skill gap, take on a security engagement, or lead specific workstreams while their team handles adjacent work. We work inside your existing tools and processes rather than asking you to adopt ours.

A rough description of what you want to build or assess, your target audience, any known technical requirements or constraints, a rough timeline preference, and an approximate budget range. You do not need a written specification. A 30-minute call is usually enough for us to give a meaningful initial estimate.

Yes, always. We sign mutual NDAs before any sensitive information is shared and treat all client data, systems, and business information with strict confidentiality. For security engagements, our engagement agreement explicitly covers data handling, report confidentiality, and information destruction requirements.
