Enterprise Procurement FAQ
What does the PoC process look like?
We scope a proof-of-concept to your environment within 2 weeks. You provide a representative codebase sample; we configure the Agent, run a compliance scan, and deliver a report. No source code leaves your network.
Can we pay monthly instead of annually?
Annual billing is recommended and offers the best value. Monthly billing is available with a 20% surcharge on seat fees. Enterprise contracts are typically annual with custom payment terms.
What does the security review process involve?
We provide architecture documentation, data flow diagrams, penetration test reports, and RBAC specifications. We can complete standard vendor security questionnaires within 5 business days.
Is the platform fee separate from seat fees?
Yes. The platform fee covers on-premises Agent deployment, advanced compliance modules, and higher SLA for Professional and Enterprise plans. Core plan has no platform fee.
Can we expand seats mid-contract?
Yes. Mid-contract seat additions are prorated. Seat reductions take effect at renewal.
What SLA options are available?
Core: standard (best-effort). Professional: 99.5% uptime SLA with 4-hour response. Enterprise: dedicated SLA negotiated per contract.
Can trial fees be credited toward a subscription?
Yes. Pay for a trial experience ($29–$59) and receive a full credit toward your first annual Core or Professional subscription if you upgrade within 30 days.
