That is exactly what we are targeting! We know it's hard hence looking for users for whom we can tune the controls better for someone's specific environment - we will be able to do this as we have years of experience. This is kind of a side project/service we are going for and not our main business, so we are not looking to sell anything, but we are looking to understand the problem and space better.

Complete support is provided through Slack to (or however you wish), so you know you don't have to wait for any kind of support.

We know there are plenty of scanners out there. Hence we are using an open-source one and working on how we can improve the 'what happens after' part by using human-led expertise to save others their time

- Is the vulnerability valid based on the environment it was found in? Solve this and you’ll reduce enterprise vulnerabilities by probably 30-40%. --> Having a human expert confirm and filter the list is what we are offering to our closed beta users for now so yes that is what we are targeting to solve!

- What are the compensating controls? Identify these automagically and reduce the vuln risk scores based on what controls are found, you will remove another 30% of vuln work for engineering teams --> We have a list of controls we've identified, but we know each environment is different, hence looking for users we can tune our controls to

We are particularly looking for users who are in small organizations looking to grow rapidly. Ultimately, we are looking to save other devs time by taking over the cumbersome work.

At what point though is this just consulting? Since everyones risk tolerances are different and may or may not have good network architectures or software practices how would this apply generally to other companies or networks?
