Commercial Architecture

Usage allowances, modular purchasing, and transparent add-on pricing.

Every element of our commercials is structured for transparency: distinct allowances for scans, projects, users, and VAPTs, modular flexibility for teams with existing tools, and clear expansion add-ons.

Taxonomy & ScopeImage 4 Specification

Licensing Definitions & Internal Metering Principle

I would establish the following licensing definitions:

Project

One application, repository, API service, or managed security assessment workspace, with a consistent asset-mapping policy.

Standard scan

One completed scan execution against an authorized configured target, with resource-intensive scan types separately metered.

Automated VAPT assessment

One bounded automated assessment of an authorized web application, API, or IP scope, including findings and an automated report.

Compliance framework

One independently maintained framework assessment and its associated evidence and control workflows.

Internal Metering Principle

A repository secrets scan should not necessarily consume the same credits as a lengthy authenticated DAST assessment. Internally, you should meter compute time, target size, and scan type even if customers see simplified allowances.

Infrastructure ModelsZero Egress vs Cloud

5. Deployment Architecture: Cloud SaaS vs Dedicated Sovereign Enclave

We separate our pricing model between multi-tenant Cloud SaaS and air-gapped Dedicated Enclaves to reflect the infrastructure, container packaging, offline cryptographic validation, and priority engineering pods required for sovereign deployments.

Cloud SaaS Offering

Multi-Tenant Zero-Trust Cloud
Included in Standard Rate
Zero Infrastructure Setup: Instant workspace activation in 60 seconds with automated DNS and TLS.
Ephemeral Scanning: Workloads execute in short-lived memory containers; source code is discarded immediately post-AST parse.
Automated Maintenance: Continuous CVE updates, rulepack distributions, and platform patch rollouts without downtime.
Included across all plans: Starter ($4,600 / ₦6.9M), Growth ($11,550 / ₦17.3M), Business ($27,000 / ₦40.5M), Enterprise ($60,000 / ₦90.0M).
Deployment Cost$0 Surcharge (Standard Licence Rate)

Dedicated Sovereign Enclave

100% Disconnected Air-Gapped Appliance
+$15,000 / yr
Zero Third-Party Egress: 100% air-gapped Kubernetes container suite (OCI Helm charts) inside your private VPC or on-premise datacenter.
Offline Cryptographic Licensing: Asymmetric cryptographic signature validation; zero external network verification calls.
Local Evidence Vault: Encrypted immutable evidence archived strictly on customer SAN / MinIO / Ceph storage.
Dedicated Engineering Pod: On-site / VPC architecture onboarding, Harbor mirror setup, and priority 24/7 sovereign SLA.
Eligible Tiers: Available as an explicit air-gap upgrade for Business and Enterprise tiers.

Decision matrix

Use these rules to choose the right tier.

The goal is to help the buyer decide before speaking with sales, then use the conversation only to confirm commercial and delivery scope.

Plan

Included scope

Starter

Early team that needs basic scans, an industry-applicable baseline framework, MFA/SSO, basic reports, and Shomar-managed evidence.

3 users, 3 projects, 100 standard scan runs/mo, 2 automated VAPT assessments/quarter, 1 concurrent scan job, 1 compliance framework, 5 GB storage, 90 days retention, Email support.

Choose Growth when higher scan volume, multi-framework coverage, or repeatable automated VAPT retests matter.

GrowthMost popular

Scaling fintech or payments team that needs more scan volume, CI/CD, industry baseline mapping, and repeatable evidence workflows.

10 users, 15 projects, 500 standard scan runs/mo, 8 automated VAPT assessments/quarter, 3 concurrent scan jobs, 3 compliance frameworks, 25 GB storage, 12 months retention, Priority email support.

Choose Business when 25+ seats, 50 projects, 1,500 scans, 6 frameworks, or onboarding support are required.

BusinessRecommended

MFB, finance house, or regulated fintech with stronger admin governance, large concurrency, and audit reporting needs.

25 users, 50 projects, 1,500 standard scan runs/mo, 20 automated VAPT assessments/quarter, 8 concurrent scan jobs, 6 compliance frameworks, 100 GB storage, 24 months retention, Priority + onboarding support.

Choose Enterprise when private workers, dedicated tenancy, sovereign deployment, or custom allowances are required.

Enterprise

Bank, government, or large regulated organisation with custom deployment, SLA, or private execution requirements.

Custom users/projects/scans/VAPTs, controlled workers, dedicated tenant, SLA, CSM, custom frameworks, sovereign deployment.

Stay here when procurement, regulator, or infrastructure constraints need a custom commercial path.

Quote drivers

What changes the final commercial number.

Shomar avoids public fixed prices because regulated deployments differ. These are the variables that affect the quote, so prospects know what matters before a call.

Licence tier and included users/projects

Expected scan volume and scan types

External evidence imports: SARIF, CodeQL, GitHub Advanced Security, or CI-generated findings

Compliance bundle: NDPR/NDPA, PCI DSS, CBN, NPS, VASP, MFB, finance-house, or custom frameworks

VAPT allowance: light, basic, larger, dedicated, or premium

Evidence storage: Shomar-managed, customer-owned, or external-link evidence

Deployment: SaaS, customer-controlled worker, dedicated tenant, sovereign/on-prem option

Onboarding, support, SLA, and customer success expectations

What every quote covers

Product access

The selected Shomar licence tier, enabled modules, and feature flags.

Implementation path

Onboarding, bundle setup, evidence workflow, integrations, and handover scope.

Operational delivery

Support level, VAPT allowance, scan volume, worker model, and service commitments.

Expansion logic

How the organisation can add projects, frameworks, regions, or private execution later.

Commercial path

Start simple, expand by real usage.

Start with a default Nigerian bundle

Best for teams that know their sector: banking, fintech, MFB, finance house, or VASP.

Add regulated scope as the team grows

Add PCI, CBN, NPS, ISO 27001, regional bundles, or custom frameworks when needed.

Move to dedicated control when required

Use private workers, dedicated tenancy, premium VAPT, SLA, and sovereign options for sensitive organisations.

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask before a demo.

Who is Shomar built for?
Shomar is built for regulated African teams: banks, fintechs, PSPs, payment gateways, remittance operators, crypto/VASPs, agencies, government teams, and security-led organisations that need security operations tied to compliance evidence.
Does Shomar cover cross-border payments and remittance?
Yes. Shomar now includes a cross-border payments and remittance compliance baseline covering AML/CFT, KYC, sanctions and PEP screening, FX controls, payment corridors, settlement, reconciliation, partner due diligence, and evidence trails.
Does source code leave our environment?
Shomar supports SaaS scanning and can also support dedicated or customer-controlled worker patterns for sensitive teams. Repository scans are bound to approved projects and integrations so organisations keep clearer control over what is scanned.
Can we choose only compliance or only security scanning?
Yes. Platform admins can assign licence tiers, framework bundles, and feature flags so an organisation can receive compliance-only, security-only, or mixed access depending on the commercial scope.
How does the trial work?
Demo organisations can receive a 5-working-day or 7-calendar-day trial. After expiry, the organisation needs an active licence to continue using subscribed Shomar capabilities.
Can evidence stay in our own storage or local region?
Yes. Shomar supports managed evidence storage and customer-controlled evidence storage patterns, including external-link evidence, to help teams address confidentiality and data residency requirements.
Does Shomar replace auditors or compliance consultants?
No. Shomar helps teams organise evidence, map security posture to controls, track gaps, and export reports. It supports audit readiness, but it is not legal, regulatory, or audit attestation advice.
How do support and onboarding work?
Customers can raise support tickets in the app, request implementation help, and use demo or assessment forms for guided onboarding. Higher tiers can include priority support and dedicated success commitments.
