Non-profit at core
AppSecWarrior exists to secure software and grow security talent — not to monetize job seekers.
Non-profit community
Free career services — forever
AppSecWarrior is a non-profit foundation. Interview prep, resume guidance, mock interviews, and referral conversations stay free — separate from our paid security consulting, with no hidden fees or future paywalls.
Free forever
Non-profit mission

Our promise
Community first — not a funnel into paid work
Paid AppSec assessments fund the mission. Career help is a standalone giving-back program and will not convert into a sales pitch.
Free forever
Resume help, mocks, prep, and referrals remain free. No trials, credits, or “premium tier” for careers.
Separate from consulting
Need VAPT or code review? That is paid work. Need a mock interview? That stays in the free program.

FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers before you book a call.
Who can request free career help?
Students and professionals exploring AppSec, security engineering, or related roles. We prioritize sincere learners who share a clear goal and current resume.
What is the usual turnaround?
Most resume and interview-prep requests receive a first response within a few business days. Mock interviews are scheduled based on mentor availability.
Is this really free?
Yes — and it will stay free. AppSecWarrior is a non-profit foundation. Interview prep, resume guidance, mock interviews, and referral conversations are community services with no fees, trials, or upsells. Paid security consulting is completely separate.
Will free career help ever become paid?
No. We designed this program to stay free forever. If capacity is full, we may ask you to wait — we will not charge you for career support.
Do you guarantee a job?
No. We help you prepare and may share opportunities when they fit, but hiring decisions always belong to the employer.
Where are you based?
AppSecWarrior is based in Pune, India. We support candidates remotely across India and, when capacity allows, internationally.
