Continuous security review

Operate with confidence after launch. Continuous security review keeps the team that audited your system on every change that follows: new releases, upgrades, model updates, and integrations, with fix verification and risk oversight throughout.

What continuous security review is

An audit is a snapshot. Your codebase, your dependencies, and your threat model keep moving after the report ships. Continuous security review turns the snapshot into a program: the auditors who already know your system review each release delta, re-test fixes on demand, and flag when a new integration or upgrade changes the assumptions the original audit relied on.

The program builds on what we leave behind after the first engagement: CI-ready detectors, invariant tests, and SDLC recommendations that help developers catch the next class of bug before it ships. We keep those artifacts current as the code evolves.

When it makes sense

  • You ship often enough that a single audit goes stale within weeks.
  • Your protocol depends on upgradeable contracts, oracles, or bridges whose assumptions change with every release.
  • An AI agent or model-driven workflow can act on funds, and the tool list or model changes over time.
  • Partners, exchanges, or regulators expect evidence of ongoing security review, not a one-time report.
  • You want one firm that already understands the system, rather than re-onboarding a new vendor for every change.

What is included

  • Delta reviews of each release against the established scope and threat model.
  • Maintained detectors and invariant suites, updated as the codebase changes.
  • Fix verification and retesting on demand.
  • Direct access to the auditors for design questions before code is written.
  • A running record of findings and their status you can share with partners and compliance auditors.

Questions

Can I start with continuous review without a first audit?
The program builds on a documented scope and threat model from an initial audit. If we have not reviewed the system yet, we scope the first audit and the continuous program together so there is no gap.
Is this on-chain monitoring?
No. Continuous security review is engineering review of your changes by the auditors who know your system. It complements monitoring and incident response; it does not replace them.
Does this replace an embedded security lead?
It gives your team direct access to senior auditors for design and review questions. It does not embed a full-time security officer; if you need that, we can discuss an advisory arrangement.
