Founders & Startups
Build your product on secure foundations from day one — without slowing down launches, hiring a full security team, or buying tools you do not need yet.
Lean Cloud Foundations
Set up cloud accounts, DNS, and core services with secure defaults before your first customer or investor review.
Founder & Admin Access
Protect founder, finance, and admin accounts with MFA, role separation, and clear ownership of critical credentials.
Product & Code Exposure
Reduce risk from exposed repos, staging environments, API keys, and third-party integrations tied to your product.
Vendor & Tool Sprawl
Choose and configure SaaS tools with least privilege, documented owners, and offboarding steps as the team grows.
Minimum Viable Monitoring
Establish lightweight logging and alerts so you notice suspicious login or infrastructure activity early.
Incident Readiness Basics
Define who to call, what to preserve, and how to contain a breach before you need it under pressure.
