Offshore security teams for SaaS companies

In short

SaaS companies sell trust: every enterprise deal brings a security questionnaire, and many require SOC 2 or ISO 27001. TalentDock places dedicated application security, cloud security, DevSecOps and GRC specialists in Sri Lanka with UK SaaS companies, from £2,295 a month for engineers and £1,695 for analysts, so security keeps pace with the roadmap.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can offshore staff help us get SOC 2?

Yes. They implement and evidence controls, often using Vanta or Drata. The audit itself is performed by an independent CPA firm.

Who answers customer security questionnaires?

A GRC analyst can own them, drawing on your policies and evidence library, with sign-off from your UK lead.

Do SaaS customers accept offshore security staff?

Usually, if you can show access controls, vetting and data transfer safeguards. Be transparent in questionnaires about where staff are based.

What is the first security hire for a SaaS startup?

Often a DevSecOps or cloud security engineer, because most early risk sits in cloud configuration and the delivery pipeline.
