Startup Security, Served Fresh.
Wafflehaus Security is a small, independent security company helping SaaS and AI startups build secure foundations and grow with confidence.
We provide hands-on services like Virtual CISO support, startup security kickstarts, and real-world security assessments. Alongside our advisory work, we’re also building tools and automation designed to make security easier for fast-moving engineering teams.
Everything we deliver is lean, actionable, and aligned with how startups actually work.
What We Believe
Clarity
Security advice should be understandable, actionable, and rooted in your actual risk, not buried in jargon or 60-page slide decks. We believe clarity builds trust, and our goal is to give you recommendations your dev team won’t just read… they’ll use.
Speed
Startups move fast, and so should your security partner. We prioritize ruthlessly, focus on what matters right now, and help you build security into your product without breaking your velocity. You’re trying to ship, not stop and we get that.
Pragmatism
You don't need a perfect security program, you need the right security program for your stage. We meet you where you are, adapt to your stack and workflow, and focus on progress over perfection. Security should feel like a feature, not friction.
Trust
Whether we're working together on a one-time assessment or an ongoing retainer, we treat every engagement like a partnership. We're transparent, direct, and committed to delivering real valunot just checking boxes. You can count on us to have your back.
Why “Wafflehaus”?
Because cybersecurity doesn’t need to be stiff and corporate.
The name reflects our philosophy: clear, warm, and approachable — but serious about serving what matters.
… also, we like coffee.
