We built Umbra in the open. Here's why.

Security products have a transparency problem. The most expensive tools are the most opaque: black-box pricing, locked-down architecture diagrams, “talk to sales” buttons where “this scans your stuff” should be.

We’re building Umbra the other way.

Public pricing

The pricing page has real numbers, not “starting from.” Every plan’s caps and features are listed, along with the Audits and Checks it includes each month. Nothing else is counted, so the worst case for any month is knowable before you sign.

Public docs

Concepts (asset-pool model, AI validation) are explained in public, no demo gating, no “sign up to read.” The people we want as customers are the ones who read the docs first.

Public architecture

The blog’ll get into the technical posts shortly: the Postgres schema, the worker pipeline, the AI agent transcript format. If you’re considering Umbra you should be able to evaluate the engineering before you write the cheque.

What’s next

We’re at the “first 50 customers” stage. If you’re an SMB security team that’s been priced out of Tenable / Qualys / Mandiant ASM, we want to hear from you: hello@umbrascope.com.
