Solopreneur Security
You built this yourself. Let someone watch your back.
Security audits for solopreneurs and indie hackers. Sherlock Forensics reviews your entire application for $1,500 CAD, covering up to 20 endpoints, authentication, payment flows and data storage. 5-day turnaround. Plain English report. No corporate nonsense.
You handle support, billing, marketing and development. Security should not be another full-time job. But the moment you collect user data or process payments, you are personally liable for protecting it. One audit. One week. Peace of mind.
The Reality
The moment you integrate Stripe or any payment processor, PCI compliance applies. If your Stripe secret key leaks, attackers can issue refunds and access billing data. There is no "we are too small" exemption. The liability sits on you personally.
PIPEDA in Canada. GDPR in Europe. CCPA in California. These laws do not have a minimum company size. If you collect names, emails or any personal information, you are legally required to protect it. A breach triggers mandatory notification requirements and potential fines.
At a company, code gets reviewed before it goes live. You do not have that luxury. Your AI assistant writes the code, you test if it works and you ship it. Nobody checks for SQL injection, hardcoded secrets or broken auth. That is what we do.
Big companies survive data breaches. They have PR teams, legal departments and brand equity built over decades. You have your name and your reputation. One breach and your users are gone. They will not come back. There is no recovery plan for a solo founder whose app leaked user data.
Quick Audit
Up to 20 endpoints. Every page, every API route, every form. We test the whole thing, not just a sample.
Login, signup, password reset, session management and payment integration. These are the flows attackers target first. We test them like an attacker would.
How you store passwords, API keys, user data and secrets. We check for plaintext storage, weak hashing, exposed environment variables and insecure database configurations.
You get results in one business week. Not one month. Not "we will circle back." Five business days from start to finished report.
No 80-page PDF full of jargon. You get a clear list of what is wrong, why it matters and exactly how to fix it. Written for builders, not compliance officers.
You are hiring a senior developer for one week to review everything your AI assistant built. Someone who has seen thousands of apps and knows exactly where the problems hide.
The Math
| Scenario | Cost |
|---|---|
| Quick Audit from Sherlock Forensics | $1,500 CAD |
| Average data breach (IBM 2025 report) | $4.88M USD |
| Losing all your users after a breach | Everything you built |
The $4.88M figure is the global average. Your breach will cost less. But even a $10,000 incident, with legal fees, notification costs and lost customers, is nearly seven times the cost of the audit that would have prevented it.

If your app handles user data, processes payments or stores anything personal, yes. Privacy laws apply to businesses of all sizes. A security audit finds the vulnerabilities that automated tools miss, especially in AI-generated code. You do not need to be a big company to have a big breach.
The Quick Audit is $1,500 CAD. It covers your entire app up to 20 endpoints, including auth, payments, data storage and configuration. Results in 5 business days. If your app is larger or more complex, we will scope it during a free 15-minute call.
The average small business breach costs over $100,000 in legal, notification and lost revenue. $1,500 is less than 2% of that. If your side project has real users and real data, the risk is real too. The cheapest time to audit is when the app is small.
Fifty users means 50 people who trusted you with their data. Breach notification laws do not have a minimum user count. And 50 breached accounts can lead to credential stuffing attacks on every other service those users access. The number does not matter. The responsibility does.
