The AI Security
Engine.
You already have real CVEs in the hottest, least-crowded corner of security. This is how we turn that skill into income you own, that isn't chained to a location, a boss, or your own hours.
North star: earn from the AI-security craft through Securva + independent channels, so the money is location-free and yours. The salaried job drops to an optional fallback, only if it's fully remote AND accelerates this, never instead of it. Freedom is the point.
1The flywheel
Not scattered paths, one engine. Every node is location-independent, that's the whole design.

Productize↶
You + Buddy (autonomous, runs while you sleep) find AI/MCP CVEs → each CVE + writeup builds authority ("the AI red teamer with real receipts", rare) → authority pulls inbound (audit clients, bounty invites, advisory) → you deliver AI-security audits via Securva, 100% remote → repeated work gets productized into a tool that sells 24/7 → profit + Buddy buy more research time. The loop tightens every turn.
2The crown jewel: Buddy → the MCP/agent security scanner
The top pick. The one move that breaks the hours-for-money ceiling.
Why this wins over everything elseThe bet
- It scales past your hours. Audits, bounties, a seal, an agency, all still cap at your time or your team's. A product doesn't. It earns while you sleep, in Nigeria, anywhere. That IS the freedom.
- The hard 80% is already built. You have a working autonomous vuln-discovery engine running TODAY. A funded startup would burn a year + a seed round to reach where Buddy already is. Most people have the idea, you have the engine.
- It compounds your assets. Your CVEs = proof it works. Buddy = the marketing (it keeps finding public CVEs on its own). MCP = a brand-new attack surface exploding now with no incumbent scanner. First real "continuous MCP/agent security" product = the category default.
MVP scope (what v1 actually is)
- Point it at a target: a customer gives you their MCP server URL / agent config / repo.
- Buddy runs the checks you already do by hand: auth-boundary + SSRF, credential-forwarding on redirects, unknown-kid / JWKS abuse, tool-poisoning + prompt-injection surface, over-broad scopes, secret leakage, the incomplete-fix residuals.
- Output: a clean report (severity, repro, fix) + a re-scan on a schedule = the "continuous" in continuous testing.
- Ship narrow: MCP servers FIRST (the niche you own), then widen to agents/LLM apps. Don't boil the ocean.
First-customer plan (how the first $ lands)
- Hand-run it as a service first. Before any polished SaaS, sell the RESULT: "I'll continuously security-test your MCP/agent stack." Buddy does the work behind the curtain. You learn what buyers actually pay for, revenue starts now, zero product-build risk.
- Source the first 5: the AI-native startups + framework teams already in your orbit from your CVE work (you're literally in their advisories). Warm, credible, they've seen your receipts.
- Then productize the repeatable parts into self-serve once you've sold the same thing 5+ times and know the shape.
Pricing tiers
| Tier | Who | Price |
|---|
| Starter | Solo devs / small AI startups, one MCP stack | $100–$500/mo |
| Growth | Funded startups, multiple agents/servers, scheduled re-scans | $500–$1.5k/mo |
| Enterprise | Compliance reports, SSO, support, many assets | $1k–$5k/mo |
| Done-for-you audit | One-off deep review (the service that feeds the SaaS) | $5k–$25k |
The $ to $10k/mo, pick any:
• 30 starters × $300 = $9k/mo
• 10 growth/mid × $1k = $10k/mo
• a blend of both
The ceiling services can never reach: at 100+ customers you're at $30–50k/mo with the same you. That's the leverage a product buys.
3The 90-day ramp
Highest ceiling ≠ fastest cash. Buddy-as-product is ~6–12 months out, so we fund + build toward it in order.
Now — fast cash + sharpen
AI bug bounties (HackerOne/Bugcrowd/Immunefi, pay-per-find, no sales) + subcontracting to security firms (they bring the client) + land 1–2 AI-native-startup audits. Income lands + your skill deepens + you learn exactly what buyers pay for.
Parallel — own the category (the on-ramp)
Publish + maintain the canonical "MCP Security Top 10" using your CVEs as the evidence base. Serialize your hunts publicly ("the guy who keeps breaking MCP servers"). This isn't a competing idea, it's the audience you'll launch the SaaS INTO. Near-zero cost, pure authority.
Then — launch Buddy as the product
Turn the hand-run service into self-serve, launched to a crowd that already knows your name + trusts your receipts. Recurring, scalable, location-free. This is the $10k/mo engine.
4Who pays, and how much
The AI-security market, segmented by buyer. Your early rates start lower until Securva has references, then climb.
| Segment | Why they buy | $ |
|---|
| AI bug bounties ● | Model providers + cos with AI attack surface. Pure skill→cash, no boss. | $500–$20k+/bug |
| Subcontracting ● | Bigger firms lack in-house AI skill, white-label you. | $800–$2k/day |
| AI-native startups ● | No sec team; need an audit to close their own enterprise deals. | $5k–$25k / $2–8k mo |
| Learner market | Devs breaking into AI security. Your course/playbook. | $50–$2k/seat |
| Framework maintainers | Mostly CVE credit = the authority that pulls all paid work. | reputation |
| Enterprises | Compliance-driven; want a firm + references. Later. | $25k–$100k+ |
| Web3/DeFi + AI | Your Immunefi overlap; rare AI + smart-contract combo. | $10k–$100k+ |
5The supporting moves (later, they need the authority first)
Own "MCP Security" as a categoryOn-ramp
The reference doc + public hunts. Cheapest, highest-leverage move; the funnel for everything. Runs in parallel from day one.
Nigerian AI-security talent benchPhase 2
Train sharp junior NG folks, subcontract your overflow, keep margin + QA. Sell a TEAM, not your hours. Serves the go-all-in-Nigeria north star + scales past your time. Build once demand > what you can serve.
"SOC2 of AI agents" trust sealPhase 2
Audit → they display a "Securva AI-Security Verified" badge. Two-sided: startups pay, enterprises trust it. Become the standard, not a vendor. Needs you to already be the name.
Ride the AI-compliance waveTailwind
EU AI Act + AI-governance mandates = forced buyers (like GDPR spawned an industry). Extend your existing NDPA audit muscle to "AI security + compliance" before the mandates bite.
6How every asset you own feeds the engine
- Securva → reposition to LEAD with AI/LLM/agent security. Keep NDPA as the local-NG cash play; AI-security is the global premium one.
- Your 6 CVEs + resume/wall → stop framing them for a job app. They're the PROOF that sells audits, the SaaS, and content.
- Your personal brand → the authority engine. The red-teamer who ships real CVEs.
- Buddy → the always-on research engine AND the product itself.
- HTB AI Red Teamer path + Sec+ → depth that widens what you can audit; Sec+ is the door-opener checkbox, not a skill-up (your CVEs already prove skill).
- Pejji → NOT part of the AI play. It stays the near-term cash that funds the runway while this ramps.
7The one honest tradeoff
Independent = more freedom + a far higher ceiling, but income is lumpier and slower to ramp than a salary, and you carry the sales. So we de-risk by sequence: keep Pejji + warm cash paying the bills, let Securva-AI + bounties ramp, and only touch a job if it's fully remote AND additive. Freedom stays the north star, we just don't skip the runway.
