The Security & QA Cloud Team

Your digital fort is protected by a hybrid matrix of automated protocols and elite human engineering:

• The AI Protocol (24/7 Scanning): Continuously parses server logs, runs automated regression tests, and identifies vulnerabilities in real-time. (Zero hourly labor cost).

• Legal-Tech Compliance Auditor: Ensures strict adherence to Swedish law and EU directives, including GDPR, NIS2 (cybersecurity), and the mandatory EAA (European Accessibility Act).

• Penetration Tester & QA Engineer: Deployed to stress-test your architecture, review code commits, and break your systems before malicious actors do.

Transparent Pricing: 

Phase 1: Baseline Security Audit & Setup (One-Time Onboarding) To execute rigorous testing, we must map your architecture and integrate it into our secure EU-compliant monitoring node.

• Base Setup & Audit Fee: €250 – €500 (Determined by the complexity and scale of your existing architecture).

• 3rd-Party Integrations: + €100 per integration (e.g., connecting external databases, CRM systems, or payment gateways for deep-scan security auditing).

Phase 2: Ongoing Fractional QA & Auditing (Monthly) To maintain your digital shield, you must select a minimum of 1 billable hour per month for continuous testing and compliance services.

• The Predictable Track (Retainer): Starting at €20/hour. Pre-book your required monthly hours for routine code reviews, scheduled penetration tests, and compliance updates to unlock our lowest enterprise-grade rates. (Standard delivery: 2–3 business days).

• The Flexible Track (Ad-Hoc): Starting at €50/hour. Need a sudden security patch implemented or a quick manual code review for a new feature? Submit a ticket. (Every initiated task is billed as 1 initial started hour + the time required for technical complexity).

• The Emergency Track (Rush): €100 – €200/hour. Active data breach, zero-day vulnerability, or critical system failure? Immediate priority routing with a strict 24-hour SLA.

Let’s analyze the math of launching a digital foundation. Building a secure, legally compliant architecture requires senior talent, but you do not need them 40 hours a week once the foundation is laid.

• The Traditional Hire (Organizational Drain): Hiring a mid-level internal developer costs approximately €4,000/month in base salary. When you add mandatory Swedish employer taxes (Arbetsgivaravgifter), your true cost exceeds €5,200/month. You are paying for 160 hours, but actively receiving only a fraction of that in productive code—the rest is paid idle time.

• The Hackspett Cloud Team (Fractional Efficiency): You pay a one-time onboarding fee. After that, you pre-book your required active hours. For example, 20 hours of purely active, highly focused architectural engineering on our Retainer tier (starting at €10/hour) costs you €200/month.

• The Result: You access an elite CTO, a Compliance Auditor, and a Systems Developer for a fraction of the cost of a single traditional hire, with zero IP-leakage risk and zero idle-time waste.
