A small team that ships, embedded with founders who do the same.
We started Codes Care because the gap between 'security consulting' and 'something a startup can actually use' was wider than it should be.
Why we exist
Every fast-shipping startup has the same shape of security debt — a few real vulnerabilities, a lot of worry, and no one inside the team with the bandwidth to look. Most security firms exist to sell you a six-month engagement. Most SaaS scanners exist to sell you a dashboard.
We exist to tell you, in three days for free, what your three highest-risk findings are. Then if it makes sense to do more, we do more. If not, you got a useful artifact and we got introduced to the next referral.
That model has worked. We've delivered 120+ free audits, taken on 30+ paid engagements, and never had a client breached on our retainer.
How we work
Security as default
Every engagement assumes the codebase is one bad PR away from a problem. We design for that.
We ship code, not slides
Our deliverables are pull requests, runbooks, and reproducer scripts. Not slide decks.
Hire from product, not consulting
Every engineer on the team has shipped to production users at a company that bills monthly.
Honest scoping
If we don't think you need the engagement, we tell you. We've turned away three this year for that reason.
