Protecting Innovation & Growth

Why Startups Are Prime Cyber Targets

Startups operate in fast-paced, high-growth environments, often prioritizing speed over security. Handling proprietary technology, sensitive customer data, and investor information makes startups a prime target for cybercriminals. A single breach can lead to data leaks, intellectual property theft, regulatory fines, and loss of investor confidence, stalling business growth or even leading to failure.

Compliance Standards: What Startups Need to Know

Priority Compliance Standards for Startups

NIST 800-171– Essential for startups working with government contracts or handling controlled unclassified information (CUI).
SOC 2– Key for SaaS and tech startups managing customer data in the cloud.
ISO 27001 – Global best practices for security risk management and protecting intellectual property.

Secondary Compliance Standards (Depending on Business Operations & Scaling Plans)

GDPR & CCPA – Required for startups collecting or processing European or California-based customer data.
PCI DSS – Essential for startups handling payment transactions.
CMMC – Required for startups contracting with the U.S. Department of Defense.
