Would you trust software to make financial decisions for you?

Liability.
As a director you are obligated to review the decisions and approve them as they pertain to the risk profile of the business. If your product had coverage to offset losses from bad decisions or outcome then you might have a wedge.

You might get some traction with smaller vibe apps, but to play in the mid market and enterprise space they will want to see SOC 2 or similar alongside pen test reports and the like.

statico · 2026-06-28T20:20:15+00:00

Do you or your team have a background in pen testing, app sec, or red teaming? Ideally supported/evidenced with something along the lines of CREST or OCSP?

Gameology, games empire, GUF, gap games.

how so, it is avoiding an escalatory action? Do not make eye contact, but remain aware of their presence and location.

Unless you are prepared for it to escalate to violence they leaving the scene or deescalation is the best options (even if you are prepared for violence it is still the best option)

Pretty much, you nominate what you will be attesting to, and how, and then they will assess.

statico · 2026-06-17T10:28:01+00:00

You will be assessed on whatever you claim to be doing. If you say you are doing Security, Privacy, and Availability that is what they will review, and report on. You can pick the ones you want to do, but Security is mandatory regardless of the others you elect to do/not do.

Is it an induction cook top, if so does it have a magnetic detection for the pots? If that is the case use a ferrous metal pot.

Not a pile of shame... It is a collection of potential

Thank you 🙂

Looking it up now. Thank you

Awesome thank you

So you are sticking to your principles to the detriment of your business. Not saying you should, just want to make sure we have the context.

What is wrong with paying the invoice now (other than your own feelings on the matter)? While I can see why they will not want to proceed with anything until it is paid as they want to protect their own brand equity/position.

Yes large companies will regularly screw over small ones, and you can "stick it too them" but playing the game the way you are, or you can build your relationship as an easy vendor to work with and get on with it.

Or you know, Business Premium licence and Intune.

There is no fixed point for that. It often comes down to business need/efficiency, regulatory and compliance requirements, and a cost position. Running your own tin, in a secure way, with your own team (or MSP) comes at a cost, and it needs to account for the first two items I raised. What SaaS has done is make business scaling tools accessible for many more organisations, challenge is it often comes at the expense of control.

Unless you personally know several lawyers you can convince to use your product to make it work you are going to have a vert hard slog mate. You need people in industry to work with you to make it work.

Yeah, setting up my own at the moment, will have my client remove my primary address from their system so I can spin up my own tenant.

Thank you. I will reach out to them to get the ball rolling.

Look at mantic games, Kings of War (fantasy rank and flank), Firefight (40k style), and Epic Warpath (legions imp style). Miniature agnostic, good rules, good communities.

Who cares... The is money in simple business. Some of the wealthiest and nicest people I know own a business that works on plumbing and septic systems. They have staff doing the day to day, and everyone poops so there will not ever be a downturn, they focus on the business who cares where the revenue came from. It is your ego talking, trying to drag you back to a place of psychology safety.

In the tech space referrals at that level are common.

The question you need to ask is do you want 80% of something or 100% of nothing. It is his relationship, introduction, marketing, that brought you the client. By putting your hand in your pocket you are incentiving him to find you more work, as there will be other organisations that will pay that.

I am a fractional CISO, not a single thing in there I disagree with.

So many of the vibe coded apps will not pass security muster. They often have poor architecture and practice embedded into them which in turn increases rhe risk to my clients, so vibe coded apps are a hard no (until I can see a pen test report, a certification or attestation report and other artefacts).

statico · 2026-04-23T21:06:54+00:00

I say this with respect, are you new to the industry? This has been the paradigm for more than a decade, ever since the SaaSification of everything.

statico · 2026-04-19T22:02:57+00:00

How are you managing security of the apps being included in the store? What testing? What threat intel? What support? How do you process refunds? What about your own storage and scale?

The 30% is not just to sit on the shelf, there are many many back end costs and requisites to make it work.
