Would you pay for a Security Audit before Launching?
by
Lateefah Olagoke
Indie founders invest in UX, design and marketing before launch.
But what about security?
Great question, Lateefah. As someone who helps founders and small businesses with tech support and security, I’ve seen firsthand how overlooked security can be during the launch phase.
While a full-scale security audit can be costly, there are cost-effective steps you can take — like hardening authentication, encrypting key data, and doing a basic vulnerability sweep. Small moves now can prevent major headaches later.
If you ever want to chat about it, happy to share some free advice based on what you’re building. Just DM me!
Depends on the use case — we’re working with restaurant clients, so less security sensitivity (vs. fintech). Our AI takes food orders via phone/text (ChompChat), so our bigger risks are around uptime & misinterpretation. That said, if I were in finance or health, 100% yes to pre-launch audits.
