Question 1

How long does a standard security assessment or VAPT take?

Accepted Answer

A standard API or web application security assessment typically takes 5 to 10 business days depending on scope and endpoint count. For fast-moving startups with enterprise deal deadlines, we can prioritize high-risk attack surfaces and provide an initial findings debrief within 48 to 72 hours.

Question 2

What specific attack surfaces does TrustLayerLabs test?

Accepted Answer

We perform deep manual and assisted testing across REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs, Single Page Applications, backend business logic, authentication mechanisms (OAuth/JWT), object-level authorization (BOLA/BFLA), tenant isolation boundaries in multi-tenant SaaS, cloud IAM configurations (AWS/GCP/Azure), and external perimeter services.

Question 3

How do you test SaaS multi-tenant isolation and authorization logic?

Accepted Answer

We provision distinct tenant and role contexts in staging (e.g., Organization A User vs. Organization B Admin) and systematically attempt cross-tenant parameter substitution, horizontal privilege escalation, and direct object queries to verify that tenant boundaries cannot be breached under any payload manipulation.

Question 4

Do you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We execute a mutual NDA before receiving any architecture documentation, Swagger/Postman collections, or staging credentials. All findings, logs, reproduction steps, and vulnerability details are treated as strictly confidential and stored encrypted.

Question 5

What deliverables and reports do our engineering teams receive?

Accepted Answer

You receive an executive summary for leadership, investors, and enterprise buyers, alongside a technical engineering report with exact reproduction steps, proof-of-concept payloads, root-cause analysis, and specific remediation code guidance (Node, Python, Go, Java) for each finding.

Question 6

Is retesting included after our developers fix the vulnerabilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes, retesting is included in every assessment. Once your engineering team deploys patches to your staging environment, our security specialists re-evaluate the exact vulnerability vectors and issue an updated final report and Retest Verification Letter confirming the status of remediated findings.

Question 7

Can TrustLayerLabs support our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In addition to technical penetration testing required for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 Annex A controls, our GRC consultants assist with security policy development, risk registers, control-gap assessments, and enterprise vendor security questionnaire responses. We provide readiness advisory that prepares your team for formal external audit.

Question 8

How do we scope an engagement and get started?

Accepted Answer

You can book a 20-minute scoping call with our lead security architects. We review your architecture, endpoint count, authentication complexity, and target timelines to deliver a transparent scope and fixed quote within 24 hours.
