For security and compliance product teams.
Third-party integrations, built and maintained inside your codebase.
QCC builds and maintains the vendor integrations your security or compliance product depends on. The work lands as code in your repository, tests in your review process, and written notes on how the vendor API actually behaves.
Try the integration queue for two weeks — $7,500. One active request at a time.
If it is not the right fit, stop during the first week for a 75% refund of the trial fee.
Start a paid trialA public, read-only code-review sample with its limits stated.
Two-week paid queue trial
$7,500 for two weeks. Your integration queue.
Bring a prioritized backlog of new connectors, vendor API updates, fixes, and tests. We work one request at a time and agree its scope and acceptance criteria in writing before work starts.
The two-week window starts at a mutually agreed kickoff once access is ready. Before kickoff, we agree the first priority, a realistic first reviewable milestone, your reviewer, and the review plan.
If it is not the right fit, stop during the first week for a 75% refund of the trial fee.
The trial does not automatically start a subscription. Ongoing work is a separate agreement.
Start a paid trialTrial and first-week termsCode, tests, and a reviewable handoff
Connector code that fits your framework, in your repository.
Tests for the vendor behavior that matters, with notes on what the vendor documents, what was observed, and what is still unknown.
A pull request your team reviews and merges through its normal process.
Illustrative first milestone: Authenticate with the vendor and deliver one paginated data flow with tests.
When a request is finished, we move to the next agreed priority. Larger requests are split into milestones your team can test and review; the trial does not promise a fixed number of completed requests or a complete integration in two weeks.
Optional ongoing work · integration subscription
$15,000 per month. One active request at a time.
Continue with a subscription if your team needs ongoing integration development and maintenance. It is not required after the trial.
Bring one integration request at a time: a new connector, a vendor API update, or a fix. Each request is scoped in writing before work starts.
When you pause: Billing, engineering and routine maintenance all pause; unused paid calendar days are banked for resumption. Paid days start at an agreed, access-ready kickoff. Banked days do not expire and are used before another charge.
Subscription pauses and cancellationDiscuss ongoing workCode, tests, and a reviewable handoff
Code, tests, vendor-behavior notes, and a reviewable handoff follow each request's written scope.
Maintenance means queued engineering fixes and vendor API updates, one active request at a time. Not always-on monitoring or on-call support.
Access, acceptance criteria, and commercial terms are agreed in writing before work starts.How the subscription works
Working together
How a request moves from scope to review.
One active request at a time, worked in steps your team can see and review.
How requests, estimates and progress work- Scope first
Scope and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before work starts.
- Milestones
Larger requests are split into smaller milestones your team can test and review.
- Estimates
The estimate comes after scope, access and vendor requirements are understood. Uncertain discovery is named and timeboxed, and the estimate is updated explicitly when facts change.
- Progress
Progress lives in your existing issue and repository tools: status, the current milestone, reviewable pull requests with test evidence, the next step and any blockers, plus a weekly asynchronous summary.
Work directly with Jeff.
Jeff Hoffman leads Queen City Cortex from Charlotte. The person scoping your integration is the person writing it, testing it, and explaining the tradeoffs.
Jeff has spent more than 30 years shipping production software, including five and a half years building privacy and data-rights infrastructure at Transcend, where the work involved a wide range of enterprise integrations.
Integrations usually break in the details.
The happy path is rarely the hard part. A dependable connector comes from deciding what to do when vendor data is missing, partial, or inconsistent, and writing that decision down.
- Missing field
An absent value is recorded as false instead of unknown.
- Pagination
A short page is treated as the end of the data.
- Partial failure
A later error leaves results that look complete.
- Rate limits
Retries ignore the vendor's limits or your job runner's model.
- Access scope
A token sees less than the integration assumes.
Illustrative scenario
One connector slice, worked through.
Imagine a security/compliance SaaS importing Slack user observations into its product. Its customers need findings they can trust—not false alerts caused by treating missing data as disabled MFA.
Read the full worked example- Vendor behavior
- Slack's users.list can omit has_2fa, and the field reports only Slack-native 2FA, not SSO or identity-provider MFA.
- Decision
- A missing value becomes unknown, not disabled. Ending pagination does not make unknown fields known.
- Product boundary
- A reviewable collection slice for a SaaS connector—not a replacement for Slack's security controls or an overall MFA compliance verdict.
Integration experience
Selected integration products Jeff has worked on through builds, maintenance, testing or documentation.
Scope varies by product; documentation, test or compatibility work does not imply a new build. Names indicate prior personal experience, not current clients, partnerships or endorsements.

Questions before you start.
Is our integration a fit?
Good fits have a specific vendor or API, a codebase your team already runs, and someone who can review the work. Your language, framework, and vendor are questions QCC answers with you before any work starts, not assumptions.
What does the paid trial cover?
Try the integration queue for two weeks — $7,500. One active request at a time. Bring a prioritized backlog of new connectors, vendor API updates, fixes, and tests. We work one request at a time and agree its scope and acceptance criteria in writing before work starts. When a request is finished, we move to the next agreed priority. Larger requests are split into milestones your team can test and review; the trial does not promise a fixed number of completed requests or a complete integration in two weeks.
What if the trial is not the right fit?
If it is not the right fit, stop during the first week for a 75% refund of the trial fee.
Do we need to subscribe after the trial?
The trial does not automatically start a subscription. Ongoing work is a separate agreement. If you want ongoing development and maintenance, the subscription is $15,000 per month for one active request at a time.
What does the subscription cover?
$15,000 per month covers one active integration request at a time. A request can include connector code that fits your existing framework, tests, notes on vendor behavior, and a reviewable handoff. Its scope is written down before work starts.
How do estimates and progress work?
Estimates come after scope, access and vendor requirements are understood, with uncertain discovery named and timeboxed, and they are updated when facts change. Larger requests are split into milestones you can test and review. Progress shows up in your existing issue and repository tools, with a weekly asynchronous summary.
What happens when we pause the subscription?
For the monthly subscription only. Billing, engineering and routine maintenance all pause; unused paid calendar days are banked for resumption. A pause takes effect at the start of the next calendar day in America/New_York. The day you ask counts as used; partial days are not calculated. Banked days do not expire and are used before another charge. The paid clock stays stopped until a mutually confirmed restart date; a pause does not hold capacity for an immediate restart.
What if we cancel the subscription?
For the monthly subscription only. Cancelling stops future renewals; it is separate from pausing. QCC asks whether you want to use your remaining paid days now or pause them for later. After an ordinary cancellation, unused paid days stay as service credit with no expiry, restarted on a mutually confirmed date. Using that credit never triggers another charge.
What does maintenance include?
Queued engineering fixes and vendor API updates, handled one active request at a time. It is not always-on monitoring or on-call support, and it stops while the subscription is paused.
How do review and acceptance work?
You name a reviewer, and the acceptance criteria for each request are agreed in writing before work starts. Your team reviews the work in its normal process and decides whether it meets them.
What access does QCC need?
The least access that lets the work be tested, agreed in writing. Sandbox or test credentials are preferred, and QCC does not need production data to start. Never send credentials through the contact form.
Tell QCC which integration needs work.
Send the vendor or API, what it should do, and what your codebase runs on. An inquiry does not start work or authorize access.
