Question 1

What is a vibe code security assessment?

Accepted Answer

A vibe code security assessment scans applications built with AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Bolt, v0, Lovable, Replit) for the security vulnerabilities these tools commonly introduce: exposed secrets in client bundles, missing security headers, insecure BaaS configurations, and OWASP Top 10 risks.

Our methodology is based on published research analyzing 603 production AI-built applications. We found that 91.7% received a C security grade and 0% achieved an A grade.

Question 2

How long does a SecureStack scan take?

Accepted Answer

The free Vibe-Code Health Check completes in 60 seconds. The paid MVP Security Check and infrastructure audits typically deliver reports within 24 hours.

Question 3

What platforms does SecureStack scan?

Accepted Answer

SecureStack scans applications deployed on AWS, GCP, Azure, Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, and detects BaaS misconfigurations in Supabase, Firebase, Clerk, Auth0, and Stripe integrations.

Question 4

How is SecureStack different from Vanta or Drata?

Accepted Answer

Vanta and Drata are compliance checklist tools that tell you what policies to write. SecureStack actually scans your source code and cloud infrastructure to find real vulnerabilities, then maps findings to SOC2 and ISO 27001 controls. The Managed CISO tier includes human CISO review, replacing both the compliance tool and the fractional CISO.

Question 5

Do I need a SOC2 readiness assessment?

Accepted Answer

If an enterprise prospect or investor has asked about your SOC2 status, a readiness assessment shows you exactly where the gaps are and gives you a prioritized remediation roadmap. SecureStack's SOC2 Readiness Assessment costs $2,500 one-time — compared to $7,500/yr for a compliance platform that still requires someone to interpret the results.

Question 6

How insecure are vibe-coded apps?

Accepted Answer

According to the 2026 study 'Insecure by Default' by Winters and Merrill, which analyzed 603 production AI-built apps: 91.7% received a C grade (average score 75.3/100), 98.5% were missing Content-Security-Policy headers, 98.5% lacked X-Frame-Options, and 0% achieved an A grade. The apps are not catastrophically broken, but systematically lack defense-in-depth security controls. The full research is available at github.com/toddamerrill/vibe-code-security.
