What should a team share before Free Security Assessment begins?

Share the assets you own or are authorized to assess, the business context, relevant contacts, and any known high-risk workflows. Kintsubyte uses that information to propose a bounded scope that is useful and safe.

Can Kintsubyte test production systems during Free Security Assessment?

Only within a clearly agreed scope. The first pass is non-destructive and focuses on public exposure. Authenticated testing, exploit validation, and changes to production systems require explicit written authorization before they begin.

Direct answer

Can a startup get a free security assessment?

Yes. Kintsubyte offers a free first-pass external review of public-facing assets and provides a short risk summary. This is not a full penetration test; deeper manual testing, authenticated review, and retesting are scoped separately.

How Kintsubyte approaches Free Security Assessment

Each engagement is shaped around the systems and business workflows that matter most, with scope and safety boundaries confirmed before any deeper validation.

Confirm the assets, business context, and authorization for the requested review.
Review the agreed public surface or approved environment for relevant evidence.
Filter weak signals, prioritize confirmed risk, and explain the practical impact.
Agree any remediation, retest, or deeper testing step before it proceeds.

Public guidance

Security resources worth knowing.

Kintsubyte uses these public resources as context for security conversations and assessment planning. They do not represent a certification, endorsement, or a substitute for a scoped assessment.
