How Do Product Managers in DeFi Balance Security vs Speed of Delivery?

I joined a DeFi startup recently as a junior product manager, and every sprint feels like a tug of war — engineers push for fast releases, while security reviewers demand multiple audit rounds. We’ve delayed two launches already because of minor findings, but skipping them feels too risky.

How do DeFi PMs balance speed and safety without slowing innovation? Are there any frameworks or KPIs that actually help you decide when it’s “secure enough” to ship?
