Our Security Approach

Security isn’t just a box to check - it’s a continuous process that spans design, development, and deployment. At Cantina, we believe the best security outcomes come from pairing world-class researchers with the right methodology and support systems.

Researcher-Driven Expertise

All audits on Cantina are led by independent security researchers that are experts in their fields. Each engagement is staffed with individuals who bring deep security knowledge, prior experience with similar systems, and a track record of real-world impact.

Tailored Engagements

No two organizations are the same. We work with organizations to scope each audit based on their goals, architecture, timelines, and internal resources. Whether it’s a full-featured audit or a focused competition, engagements are structured to meet teams where they are.

Tooling Built for Security

Cantina Code is our custom platform designed to streamline the code audit process. It helps researchers and organizations collaborate, manage scope, submit findings, and communicate directly—all in one place.

Transparent Communication

Throughout each engagement, we prioritize direct communication between researchers and organizations. Our platform and process encourage thoughtful dialogue around findings, mitigations, and broader security questions.

Beyond the Report

Our work doesn’t stop at delivery. We offer fix period support, close-out walkthroughs, and detailed risk assessments to help organizations act on findings with clarity and confidence. For those looking to go deeper, solutions like threat modeling, fuzzing, and economic analysis are available to build a more complete picture.

Composable Security Strategy

Security is a long-term effort. We help organizations design security roadmaps that evolve over time—layering solutions like bug bounties, Managed Detection and Response, and threat modeling to match their growth and complexity.
Cantina brings together top-tier researchers, thoughtful methodology, and purpose-built tooling to deliver security outcomes that evolve with your organization. Whether you’re launching, scaling, or hardening, we’re here to help you build securely at every stage.
