What it does

Code-and-config-level security review for indie SaaS founders in the final 0-4 weeks before onboarding their first paying customer. Walks through 12 canonical pre-launch areas with P0-P3 severity grading, file-path evidence, code-edit remediation, verification curls, regression tests, and rollback plans. LAUNCH-GATE outputs GO / HOLD / NO-GO with single non-negotiable next action. Strict CFAA scope gate — only audits systems you explicitly own. ## What's included - **12-area canonical pre-launch audit** — 1. Secrets management (env vars, key rotation, no committed secrets, Stripe/OAuth key segregation) 2. Stripe webhook signature verification (Stripe-Signature, replay protection, idempotency) 3. OAuth CSRF + PKCE (state param entropy, redirect_uri whitelist, code_verifier flow) 4. Cookie hardening (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax/Strict, prefix __Host- / __Secure-) 5. Multi-tenant scoping + IDOR prevention (every query scoped by user_id / org_id, no path-id-only) 6. Input validation (Zod / Joi / express-validator; type coercion, length caps, regex anchors) 7. Rate limits (per-endpoint, per-IP, per-user; signup brute force, password reset abuse) 8. Authorization checks (RBAC / ABAC; never trust client-sent role; per-route middleware) 9. Log redaction (no passwords / tokens / API keys / PII in logs; structured log review) 10. Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) 11. Dependency posture (npm audit, Snyk, transitive vuln review, lockfile integrity) 12. Backup + recovery (DB backup cadence, restore test, RTO/RPO documented, runbook) - **Severity grading** — P0 (must fix before launch), P1 (fix this week), P2 (fix this month), P3 (best practice / nice-to-have) - **File-path evidence** — every finding cites specific file:line where the issue lives - **Code-edit remediation** — exact before/after diff to fix each finding, not "you should add validation" - **Verification curls** — test commands to confirm fix works (e.g., "curl -X POST ... | grep -q 401") - **Regression tests** — Jest / Vitest test stubs to prevent the finding regressing - **Rollback plan** — for each fix, how to revert if it breaks production - **LAUNCH-GATE decision** — final output: GO (ship it) / HOLD (1 P0 remaining) / NO-GO (3+ P0s); single next action - **Stack coverage** — Node/Express, Next.js (App + Pages), Remix, Rails, Django, FastAPI, Go (Gin/Echo), Laravel; Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB ## Limitations - **Not a penetration test** — code-and-config review only; no live exploitation, no fuzzing, no traffic analysis; complement with pre-launch pen test from authorized firm - **CFAA scope gate** — agent refuses to audit systems you don't explicitly own; no third-party SaaS / supplier / competitor audits regardless of intent - **Not SOC 2 / ISO 27001** — pre-launch security is a subset of SOC 2 controls; full SOC 2 readiness needs compliance audit firm + 6-12 months - **Not legal counsel** — security findings that touch GDPR / CCPA / HIPAA / PCI need privacy/compliance attorney before launch - **Single-app scope** by default — multi-app SaaS portfolios run per-app sessions; shared-services audits (auth gateway, billing service) need dedicated session ## Best fit Indie SaaS founders 2-8 weeks from first paying customer, YC / Techstars batch companies pre-Demo Day, solo founders launching B2B SaaS, technical co-founders without dedicated security hire. Especially valuable in the final 30 days when "I'll add validation later" becomes "I have a customer paying $500/mo and a class action waiting" — the structured 12-area pass typically surfaces 2-5 P0s that would have shipped to production. At $39/mo for the launch window, one prevented IDOR (or one Stripe webhook bypass) pays for centuries of subscription.
