Overview
As a startup founder, you live and breathe the importance of closing sales deals quickly so you can show the VC world your traction in the market and growth multiples.
In today’s world of security and privacy, your biggest deals and partnerships often grind to a halt when the dreaded customer InfoSec questionnaires come up.
Goals
To set yourself up for a successful fundraising round and land that next raise, you know your key targets to hit:
- Get your platform and new, critical customer features to market as fast as you can
- Maximize your time in market to help show the user & revenue (or GMV) growth month-over-month and quarter-over-quarter
- Focus on sales, product roadmap delivery, and customer growth/retention
Challenges
While valuable and important to your company and your customers, Security is an additional burden that startups are being mandated to face by their key customers & partner prospects.
And to add to that challenge, Enterprise customers do not treat startups vs. enterprise customers any differently when it comes to security & 3rd party vendor risk assessments.
Challenge #1: As a startup, you need to look & feel like a well established enterprise when it comes to security.
Startups across the board are finding it very difficult to focus on their aggressive roadmap & growth targets, while also learning, hiring, implementing and maintaining and enterprise-quality Security Program.
Challenge #2: It’s not within you nor staff’s expertise to build & run your own Security Program.
Challenge #3: It is not obvious who to hire for this, nor how you can afford that level of expertise.
