Sooner or later a customer, a buyer’s security team or an investor asks whether your app is secure. "Yes" is not an answer they can use. What they want is something they can check.
What counts as proof
- A check, what it tests, and the date it last passed.
- Evidence someone else can reproduce, not a screenshot you took.
- Open problems stated plainly, with a severity and a date they will be fixed by.
What never to claim
- That you passed SOC 2 or ISO 27001 when you have not been audited. Those assess your organisation, not your app.
- That the app is "fully secure". Nobody can say that honestly.
- Anything you cannot show the evidence for today.
Being honest about an open medium finding with a fix date builds more trust than a claim of perfection.
A reply that works
- List the critical and high checks you run, and the date each one last passed.
- Say how you fix what you find, and by when: critical in 7 days, high in 30, medium in 90.
- Name anything open and its deadline.
- Offer a call, or answers to their security questionnaire.
At launch
This is what the VibeLock trust page does for you: one link showing the controls that passed, each dated, and the VibeLock Verified badge while all five criteria hold. Until then, the free checklist and a dated record of your own checks will carry you a long way.
