Sodu Secure
Weekly AI code review and manual pentests for German teams that need security without hiring a full team.
Tagline
Weekly security reviews, without hiring AppSec
A weekly security engineer in a box
Signal between pentests, not noisy scanners
Pentest today. Continuous review every week.
A weekly security engineer in a box for teams that cannot hire AppSec.
This is the clearest category-defining angle because the page repeatedly positions AuditAI as a 'vollwertiges Security-Team' with weekly output, concrete fixes, and no dashboard overhead.
An alternative to noisy scanners and monthly pentest PDFs.
The page explicitly contrasts 'Tiefe statt Regex' and 'Signal statt Volumen', which makes it strong against tools and services that drown teams in false positives or stale findings.
Continuous code security between pentests, not a replacement for them.
The bundle message 'Pentest zertifiziert den Moment. AuditAI schützt zwischen Releases.' is a strong hybrid story: one-off manual testing for trust, continuous AI review for day-to-day drift.
Primary user
CTO or engineering lead at a German SaaS startup with a small team and one or more customer-facing repositories
ICP #1
CTO of a 10-50 person B2B SaaS in Germany shipping weekly
Pain
Security reviews only happen before a sales deal or after a scare, so vulnerabilities slip through release cycles and become expensive firefighting.
Why this solves
AuditAI creates a standing weekly security review with diff tracking, so the team gets repeatable signals every Monday instead of sporadic one-off audits.
ICP #2
Founder-CEO of a bootstrapped SaaS with no dedicated security hire
Pain
They need credible security posture for enterprise buyers and compliance checks but cannot justify a full-time AppSec headcount.
Why this solves
The product is explicitly framed as 'Enterprise-Sicherheitsstandards zum Bruchteil eines Gehalts' and gives board-friendly reports plus concrete fixes without adding a new dashboard or team member.
ICP #3
Head of Engineering at an agency or multi-tenant product studio
Pain
Multiple repos and client environments make security review inconsistent, and each project needs a predictable, low-friction process.
Why this solves
The Studio plan supports multiple repos, read-only access, and packaged reporting, which fits an agency workflow better than hiring consultants ad hoc.
Strengths
- +Strong two-product structure: manual pentest and continuous review are clearly separated and then bundled together intelligently.
- +The German-market trust stack is concrete: DSGVO, Made in Germany, ISO 27001, BSI TR-03161, NIST, OWASP, and read-only architecture.
- +The page shows an actual sample finding with a code fix, which is much more believable than generic security claims.
Weaknesses
- −The page is overloaded with repeated slogans and badge spam, which dilutes the core value proposition.
- −It never clearly explains the AI engine's methodology, model boundaries, or what makes it better than standard SAST plus human review.
- −The pricing ladder is visible, but the buyer journey is confusing because 'request', 'demo', 'book', 'contact', and 'bundle' compete with each other.
- −The pentest offer and AuditAI offer are powerful but the homepage doesn't clearly tell buyers when to choose one versus both.
- −The copy is too internally focused on security jargon and not enough on business outcomes like audit readiness, deal acceleration, or reduced remediation time.
Fix these
- Rewrite the hero to lead with one buyer outcome: weekly vulnerability detection with fix-ready reports for German SaaS teams.
- Add a 'Who this is for / who this is not for' section to separate startup, agency, and compliance buyers from enterprise SOC teams.
- Replace badge repetition with one proof section: sample finding, turnaround time, and a before/after example of a regression caught in week 2.
- Create a comparison table against Snyk, Checkmarx, and manual pentest agencies to clarify why this is a different buying motion.
- Add a concrete use-case path: 'Prepare for ISO 27001', 'Protect weekly releases', and 'Pass enterprise due diligence' with distinct CTAs.

Headline
Weekly security for German SaaS
Fix-ready reports. Pentests when you need trust.
Monday reports, not monthly noise
AuditAI reviews your connected repo every week and sends a DE/EN PDF every Monday. You see what changed, what regressed, and what to fix before the next release.
Manual pentests when buyers ask
Sodu/Pentest is a fixed-price assessment by OSCP-certified hackers. It gives you a deeper baseline, a real human review, and a free retest after fixes.
Concrete fixes, not vague findings
Every issue includes a code-level suggestion, so your team can act immediately. The report is built for CTOs and engineers, not for screenshot collectors.
Read-only by design
Connect via GitHub App or token-based access with no write permissions. The workflow is built for German teams that care about control, auditability, and less operational risk.
FAQ
When should we choose AuditAI, pentest, or both?
Choose AuditAI if you ship regularly and want weekly detection of regressions. Choose a pentest when you need a baseline, buyer proof, or a deeper manual assessment. Most teams use both: pentest for the moment, AuditAI between releases.
Is this replacing GitHub Advanced Security or Snyk?
No. Those tools are useful, but they are not the same buying motion. Sodu Secure is a managed security service with human judgment, weekly reporting, and concrete remediation guidance.
What do you actually review in the code?
We run a multi-pass review across data flow, authentication, secrets, and business logic. The output is a report with severity, rationale, and fix suggestions rather than a raw alert dump.
How do you handle sensitive repos and compliance?
The workflow is read-only and designed for DSGVO-aware teams. Reports are provided in DE and EN, and the positioning is aligned for ISO 27001, NIS2, and enterprise procurement conversations.
Who is this not for?
Not for big enterprise security teams with dedicated AppSec, SOC, and internal red teams. This is for small and mid-sized SaaS teams, agencies, and founders who need credible security without hiring a full department.
That’s the problem. Most teams do one pentest, fix a few issues, then ship for 6 months blind. Sodu Secure runs weekly read-only code reviews + fixed-price pentests for German SaaS teams. Findings come with fix suggestions, every Monday.
Most security tools drown teams in alerts. Sodu Secure gives German SaaS teams two things: - weekly AI code review in DE/EN - manual pentests by OSCP hackers Read-only GitHub access. Monday PDF reports. Concrete fixes. No dashboard ritual.
Here’s what a weekly report shows: 1) what changed this week 2) what got riskier 3) where auth/data flow/secrets/logic broke 4) exact code fix suggestions That’s the whole point. Not “more findings”. Better signal.
We built Sodu Secure for teams shipping weekly. Because security isn’t a quarterly event. It’s regressions, auth bugs, leaked secrets, and messy logic showing up between releases. So we made it weekly. Read-only. Monday PDF. Trend tracking included.
The best security feedback is specific. Not “high severity.” Not “check your auth.” A diff-aware note that says: this endpoint changed, this input is now exposed, here’s the exact fix. That’s what CTOs actually use.
Hiring AppSec is expensive. Waiting for a sales deal to reveal your security gaps is worse. Sodu Secure gives German teams weekly code review plus manual pentests when they need credibility for enterprise buyers. Security without headcount.
Pentest for the moment. AuditAI for the weeks between. That’s the model. One fixed-price manual pentest to prove the baseline. One weekly AI review to catch regressions before customers do.
Monday morning security reports. DE/EN PDF. Executive summary up top. Technical appendix below. CTOs don’t want another security dashboard. They want to know what changed, what matters, and what to fix this week.
We tested every security pitch. The one that landed: “Wie ein echter Hacker. Nur auf Ihrer Seite.” That’s the product. A weekly security engineer for teams that can’t hire one.
Your next enterprise deal needs proof. Not a slide deck. A real security process. Sodu Secure gives you weekly reports, manual pentests, and concrete remediation notes your team can actually execute.
Angle: weekly security engineer in a box
Most SaaS teams in Germany do security the expensive way: - a pentest before a big deal - panic after a scare - then nothing again for months That’s not security. That’s bookkeeping. We built Sodu Secure for teams shipping every week and not wanting to hire a full AppSec team. What it does: - weekly read-only GitHub security review - Monday PDF report in DE/EN - diff-aware regression tracking - concrete code-fix suggestions, not just labels And when you need the heavyweight version: - fixed-price manual pentest by OSCP-certified hackers - free retest after fixes The point is simple: pentest the moment, monitor the drift. If you’re a CTO, founder, or engineering lead and security only happens when sales asks for it, this is for you. If you want, I can send a sample report.
Angle: continuous review between pentests
A monthly PDF is not a security process. It’s a snapshot. The real risk is what changes between audits: - auth logic - secret handling - data flow - business rules - “small” regressions that become incidents later That’s why we made Sodu Secure weekly. AuditAI watches read-only GitHub repos, compares changes week over week, and turns findings into fix-ready reports every Monday. No dashboard theater. No noisy scanner dump. Just signal. Then, when you need to validate the baseline or support procurement, the pentest side gives you a manual assessment from OSCP-certified hackers. Different jobs. Same security budget. This is the model I wish more SMB SaaS teams used before they had to learn it the hard way.
Angle: buyer outcome and compliance
If you’re preparing for ISO 27001, NIS2 conversations, or enterprise due diligence, you do not need another security tool collecting dust. You need evidence. Evidence that: - someone reviews code regularly - findings are tracked over time - regressions get caught - fixes are documented - the process is repeatable That is what Sodu Secure is built to produce. Weekly DE/EN reports. Read-only repo access. Manual pentests when you need a deeper check. Concrete remediation guidance, not vague findings. It’s a simple product for a boring but expensive problem: security credibility without adding headcount. If you’re a German SaaS team with 10–50 engineers and one or more customer-facing repos, this is probably closer to your reality than buying a huge platform.

Weekly code security for German SaaS teams
Description
Weekly AI code review and fixed-price pentests for German SaaS teams. Read-only GitHub access, Monday DE/EN reports, diff tracking, and concrete fix suggestions. Security signal without hiring a full AppSec team.
Maker's first comment
We built Sodu Secure because too many teams only look at security when a deal is on the line or after something breaks. The result is the same every time: a rushed pentest, a list of findings, a few fixes, then silence until the next scare. I wanted something more boring and more useful: a weekly security process that fits how small teams actually ship. AuditAI runs read-only reviews on connected repos and sends a Monday report with what changed, what looks risky, and what to fix next. For deeper trust and procurement needs, we also offer fixed-price manual pentests by OSCP-certified hackers. If you’re a CTO, founder, or engineering lead, I’d love feedback on whether the output feels actionable enough and whether the positioning between continuous review and pentest is clear.
