€395 to start. €790 at most.
If the review finds nothing relevant, you only pay €395. If it finds security issues, €395 more with the report. No quotes, no surprises.
Validra Security Review
How payment works
Paid before the review starts, once we've agreed on the scope together.
Due with the report, only if the review finds security issues relevant to the agreed scope. Otherwise, that's it.

How Validra Compares to Alternatives
Between automated scanners and quote-based enterprise pentests, here is where a focused, fixed-price review fits.
| Criteria | Automated Scanners (Snyk, Sonar) | Traditional quote-based pentest | Validra Security Review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 to $150 / mo | Quote-based, often several thousand € | €395 to start, €790 max |
| Payment terms | Recurring subscription | Varies by provider | €395, then +€395 only if we find something |
| Turnaround time | Instant (raw report) | Often several weeks | ~5 business days |
| Business logic flaws (IDOR, RLS) | Rarely caught | Yes, depending on scope | Core manual focus |
| Remediation output | Generic CVE links | Varies by provider | Concrete recommendations, with code examples |
| Support for B2B questionnaires | Rarely enough on its own | Yes, full report | Report + shareable summary |
Everything You Need to Know About Pricing
Can I get a professional SaaS security review for under $1,000?+
Yes. Validra starts at €395 (about $430) and costs €790 (about $850) at most, only if the review finds relevant issues. It is a human-led review covering the 6 critical attack surfaces (RLS, IDOR, auth, API keys, storage, webhooks) in about 5 business days, with clear remediation recommendations. It is a focused review, not an exhaustive enterprise pentest, built for startups for whom a multi-thousand-dollar engagement is out of reach.
Why a price known upfront instead of a day rate?+
Pentests billed by the day quickly reach several thousand dollars, which puts them out of reach for many early-stage SaaS teams. Validra makes a different trade-off: a scope focused on the 6 surfaces that most often break in modern stacks (RLS, IDOR, auth, leaked secrets, storage, webhooks), at a price you know upfront. It is not an exhaustive enterprise pentest, and we say so clearly.
How does payment work?+
You pay €395 to start. If the review finds nothing relevant within the agreed scope, that's it: €395 in total. If it finds security issues, €395 more is due with the report, so €790 at most. This is not a guarantee that the app is free of vulnerabilities: a review only reports on what was tested.
Is this an automated scanner or a genuine human audit?+
It is a human-led review by Téo Brondel: code review when source is available, plus targeted testing of the running app. Tools may speed up parts of the work, but every finding presented as demonstrated is validated by hand: cross-account isolation tests, session tampering, database policy checks.
Can we use the Validra report to pass enterprise vendor security reviews?+
It can help. The report includes a shareable engagement summary (tested scope, OWASP-aligned method, findings, and fix status) you can pass to a customer or prospect. It is an external review, independent from your team, but not a certification (like SOC 2 or ISO 27001): each customer decides what they accept as evidence.
What happens after the report is delivered?+
We hold a walkthrough call to go through every finding with your team. You or your developer implement the fixes; a limited retest of the fixed items is then included in the engagement.
