Practical guide
Collect security retainers and emergency invoices before high-trust work begins.
Security work is urgent and sensitive. A client may need an audit, incident response, recovery support, or retainer under time pressure.
Crypto can fit Web3 companies, exchanges, token teams, and clients who already hold treasury in stablecoins.
MakePay lets security firms collect deposits, retainers, emergency fees, and milestone invoices with a branded payment record.

Guide
Why security payments need controlled context
A security payment may unlock expert time, incident access, or confidential review. The payment page should be clear without revealing sensitive details.
The firm needs paid status before allocating scarce emergency capacity or starting deeper work.
Urgency is real
Clear payment can speed engagement start.
Incident confidentiality matters
Use references without exposing incident details.
Web3 clients fit
Crypto-native clients often prefer stablecoin invoices.
Guide

Settlement can route directly to the firm's wallet while engagement scope remains in the contract.

Milestone invoices
Separate audit phases or recovery steps.
Direct settlement
Avoid custody delays for urgent work.
