For founders, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering

Source code, customer data, SOC 2.

Three things every SaaS company has to protect. Email is how attackers get to all of them. StrongestLayer reasons about every message that lands in your inbox and stops the AI-generated attacks Microsoft Defender approves.

Common Attack Patterns

The patterns getting past Microsoft and Google.

Each is industry-known and reasoning-detectable. We don’t need a signature to catch what’s already in the wild.

01 · OAuth / Credential Phish
“AWS root password reset.”

An AiTM proxy page that looks identical to the real AWS, GitHub, or Stripe console. One credential set unlocks production. Defender doesn’t flag it because the lure landed from a brand-new domain with no signature.

How TRACE catches it: Infrastructure reasoning flags new-infrastructure phish kits before they have a known-bad reputation.
02 · Vendor Invoice Redirect
“Stripe payout routing changed.”

A real vendor (or a compromised one) sends an updated wire instruction. Domain reputation is clean. Founder-led companies often have small, repeatable vendor lists — predictable monthly payments make for predictable fraud.

How TRACE catches it: Behavioral baseline flags routing-change patterns even from a clean sender.
03 · Founder / CEO Impersonation
“Quick favor before EOD.”

An email lands in ops or finance from “the founder” with the right voice and signature, asking for a small wire or gift cards. The attacker scraped LinkedIn for a week and let an LLM rewrite the message.

How TRACE catches it: Sender provenance + intent reasoning. Lookalike domain convicted at message #1.
Built for Lean Teams

Designed for the team you have today.

If your security team is also writing code or running ops, this is exactly what we built for.

15-minute deploy

No MX changes. No mail-flow disruption. No agents on dev laptops. We connect via Microsoft Graph or Google Workspace API and start reasoning in real time. Day-one results.

SOC 2 ready on day one

Maps to Trust Services Criteria for email-borne threat protection and continuous monitoring. Audit-ready documentation pack available.

No new tooling for the team

Inbox Advisor lets engineers self-verify suspicious emails without filing a ticket. Verdicts forward to Slack, Sentinel, Splunk, or Radiant Security — where your team already lives.

Compliance & Frameworks

Aligned with the frameworks your customers ask about.

Documentation packs available for security reviews and procurement.

SOC 2

CC6.6, CC6.8 (email-borne threats), CC7.2 (continuous monitoring).

ISO 27001

A.13 communications and A.14 acquisition controls.

GDPR

Email content processed in memory, not persisted.

NIST CSF

Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond — mapped to email-borne threats.

FAQ

Quick answers on SaaS deployments.

Why are SaaS startups targeted?

Startups concentrate access to source code, customer data, and production infrastructure into a small number of inboxes — founders, finance, infra. One credential phish for AWS, GitHub, or Stripe can compromise the entire stack. Vendor-impersonation against ops and finance is also common, especially in YC-network and shared-vendor scenarios.

How does StrongestLayer fit with SOC 2?

StrongestLayer maps directly to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria for email-borne threat protection (CC6.6, CC6.8) and continuous monitoring (CC7.2). Documentation pack available for your auditor.

Will it disrupt our existing dev tooling?

No. We integrate at the email layer via API — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — and have no impact on Slack, Linear, GitHub, or any dev tooling. 15-minute deployment.

What’s the pricing for a small startup?

Pricing scales by mailbox. Startups typically deploy at the low end of the range with full platform included — no module gating. Submit the pricing form for a tailored quote.
