Trigger-moment landing page for the six conversion paths into a Swarm pen test: pre-launch security review, pre-fundraise due-diligence answer, SOC 2 Type 2 audit prep, enterprise deal unblock, post-incident validation, and new-feature security review. Same deliverable shape every engagement: structured report + validated proof-of-concept on every finding + full audit trail. $4,995 flat per engagement; $49,995 per year for 60 engagements across 12 months (annual tier). About two hours runtime; 30-day free retest after every engagement.

## Pre-launch

Run before the homepage goes live. The free attack-surface preview returns in minutes; the full engagement (30+ specialists, verified proof-of-concept on every finding, audit trail of every action) completes the same day. What the demo does not test: IDOR on user ID endpoints, admin routes with no server-side auth check, Supabase tables where RLS is USING (true). Reference: VibeEval 2026 found 81% of 1,514 scanned vibe-coded apps shipped with at least one high or critical finding; average time to first proven exploit was 58 seconds.

## Pre-fundraise

Series A and B due diligence now includes a security review. The Swarm deliverable (structured report, validated proof-of-concept for every finding, full audit trail of every specialist action) is the document that answers the security questionnaire before the question is asked. $4,995 is a rounding error in a fundraise; two hours is a rounding error in a diligence timeline.

## SOC 2 audit prep

SOC 2 Type 2 auditors expect a pen test. The Swarm audit trail receipts every specialist action and is filterable; auditors trace any finding in the report back to the request that surfaced it. Controls mapped: CC7.1, CC7.2, CC7.5. Dedicated read-only Auditor role for the external reviewer (dashboard access, audit-trail download, report export; no engineering credentials shared). Full mapping at /compliance.

## Enterprise deal unblock

When procurement stalls on security review and the buyer asks for a pen test report you do not have, a human firm wants four weeks and $20,000. Swarm ships an auditor-grade deliverable by end of day: CVSS-scored findings, validated proof-of-concept, full audit trail. Many customers use the report directly in security questionnaire responses.

## Post-incident validation

After patching a vulnerability, a Swarm engagement verifies the fix held and surfaces what else lived in the same codebase. Same specialist roster, same OWASP coverage map, same audit trail as the initial assessment; the diff between two consecutive engagements shows what closed and what remains open.

## New-feature security review

The existing pen test covered the existing codebase, not the new auth flow, the new API surface, or the new third-party integration. Swarm re-runs against the updated target; the orchestrator fingerprints the stack during recon and dispatches the specialists matched to the new surface (LLM, MCP server, vibe-coded feature, classic web).

## Per-engagement vs annual tier

$4,995 per engagement, or $49,995 per year for 60 engagements across 12 months (annual tier). The annual tier is for security-mature teams covering annual SOC 2 / ISO 27001 cycles plus headroom for major releases and post-incident validation. Same deliverable on every run.

## Side-by-side vs human firm

Engagement length: about two hours vs two to four weeks. Price: $4,995 flat vs $15,000 to $50,000. Audit trail: every action receipted vs lives in the consultant's head. Validated PoC: every finding vs sometimes, varies by firm. Free retest: within 30 days vs charged separately. Auditor role: read-only dashboard access vs PDF and verbal debrief. OWASP coverage: Top 10 + API + LLM + Agentic vs usually Web Top 10 only.

## Engagement model

Per-engagement product, not a subscription. Customers run as needed for the trigger moments above. 30-day free retest after each engagement. No subscription, no retainer, no per-release commitment.
