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.
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.
