For Venture Capital Firms

One advisor. Portfolio-wide security coverage.

Pre-investment diligence, portfolio risk visibility, and on-call advisory for security incidents and questions. Built for the way VC firms actually work, not for enterprise security departments.

01 / Where the problem shows up

Security issues surface at the worst moments.

A due diligence process uncovers gaps that slow a round. A portfolio company has a breach and you need to understand the blast radius fast. A startup misrepresents its security posture to a potential acquirer. A defense tech company in your portfolio needs CMMC compliance before it can close its first DoD contract.

Most VC firms do not have a dedicated security resource. They rely on whoever happens to be available at the portfolio company, or on a generalist IT firm that does not know how to assess security posture at a growth-stage company. Neither scales.

A single trusted advisor who knows your portfolio, understands startup realities, and can move fast is worth more than a slow enterprise security firm that charges ten times as much and takes twice as long.
