- Real triage, not 400 CVEs — a process that fixes what's actually exploitable and reachable, not every theoretical flag
- Auto-remediation wiring — auto-update PRs so patching isn't all manual toil
- The human layer — SideGuy owns the setup + triage; you own a clean dependency posture
$100/hr · no retainer
SCA + SBOM setup + a triage process is usually a few days · vs a breach from an unpatched package — pay for the posture that prevents it.
Scanning is noise. Triage is the value.
A scanner that dumps 400 CVEs on your team is worse than nothing — it gets ignored. SideGuy builds the triage process that separates exploitable-and-reachable from theoretical, and wires the auto-update PRs, so dependency security becomes routine. Operator-honest, hourly, yours to keep.
