What is Security for Startups?

Startups need security that enables growth, not hinders it. Our Security for Startups service provides a right-sized approach to cybersecurity, focusing on the most critical areas first. We help you build a solid security foundation, achieve initial compliance milestones, and satisfy enterprise customer requirements without breaking the bank. We focus on 'High-Impact, Low-Friction' security controls that provide the most protection for the least effort. Within the first month, we typically eliminate 80% of critical vulnerabilities. By day 60-90, you can be SOC 2 Type I ready. We understand that startups have limited resources. Our smallest client had just 8 employees. We help you get 'Enterprise-Ready' so you can close bigger deals faster - responding to security questionnaires, passing vendor due diligence, and building the trust that enterprise buyers demand. A full-time CISO costs $250,000-$400,000+ annually. Our startup security packages start at $1,500/month, giving you the same strategic expertise at a fraction of the cost.

For small projects and ad-hoc work outside our pre-agreed packages or retainers, our standard hourly rate is $460.
