Ubserve

You get a full findings report with severity ratings, plain-English explanations, and AI-ready fix prompts to paste straight back into your coding tool. Export as PDF or markdown, plus an embeddable trust badge you can display to customers and investors as proof your app has been audited. Built for solo founders and indie hackers shipping fast with AI tools, not enterprise security teams.
