For small tech teams handling sensitive data

Detect vulnerabilities in your HR SaaS
before your clients do.

Your clients, partners and candidates are already finding weak spots in your product — often before a security questionnaire or an incident. Better to identify them first.

Built for French HR, payroll, and recruiting SaaS — teams under 50.

The reality

Sensitive data, often underestimated.

It's not just CVs and payslips. This is data that can lose you a client — or lead to far heavier legal consequences.

An HR or payroll tool centralizes identities, salaries, contracts, employee records and candidate histories — sensitive, sometimes regulated information. Teams ship fast, but nobody checks what's already exposed from the outside, against security and compliance best practices.

External Review

A first look at your real exposure.

The External Review is an initial security assessment for HR, payroll and recruiting SaaS vendors who want to understand precisely what a client, partner or malicious actor can see and access from the outside. We analyze exposed access, APIs, documents, roles and configurations — without touching your production environment.

What's included

Prioritized exposure surface

HR APIs, exports, payroll documents, roles, storage, webhooks, public configurations.

Demonstrated vulnerabilities

Every finding is backed by a reproducible proof or verifiable context.

Business-context risk reading

Vulnerabilities are linked to your real data: employee records, payslips, contracts, candidate histories.

Short, actionable debrief

A clear discussion with your team to know what to fix first.

Ideal for

HR, payroll or recruiting SaaS without a formalized external security review to date.
Teams under 50 people who want high visibility without launching a full pentest.
Preparing for a client security questionnaire, due diligence, or regulatory compliance.
Products already in production on Supabase, Firebase, Next.js, Laravel or custom APIs.

How we work

Three steps, zero impact on your production.

We analyze what's exposed, document each finding, and hand you a prioritized list of corrections. No modification to your environment.

01

Outside view

We map what's accessible without authentication: pages, subdomains, API routes, configurations and exposed access points. Everything is read-only — no modification or interaction with your infrastructure.

24-48h
02

Clear diagnosis

Every finding is explained in business language, backed by technical evidence. The goal is to let you act quickly, not to produce yet another report to archive.
