I was recently reading Jason Lemkin's "It’s Time For You To Make Security a Core Feature — Not a Tax" (https://www.saastr.com/its-time-for-you-to-make-security-a-core-feature-not-a-tax/) article and it made me wonder how security is valued in startups. I realize that it is hard for most startups to justify spending cash on security and then I started to wonder:

-What equity would you give up in exchange for dedicated security audit services? (.1%/year or something)

-Do you perform security audits? If so, do you do them in-house or outsource them?

I would love discussion from both startups and consumers.
