Our Startups & Scaleups program secures your information system from the earliest stages of growth. We assess your IT environments and servers to define a security level tailored to your product roadmap. This approach includes a risk analysis to prioritize security measures and mitigate IT risk. We help you formalize a simple and operational IT security policy, easily understood by the CIO and the executive committee. Securing systems involves implementing strong authentication, MFA, and robust password management. Our recommendations cover information system security, network security, and the protection of sensitive data. Technical quick wins include data encryption, cryptography implementation, and server hardening. We conduct security audits and IT security assessments to verify your controls and detect security vulnerabilities. User awareness and the integration of best practices reduce security incidents related to human behavior. Our recommended security solutions include: EDR/antivirus, IAM, network segmentation, and encrypted backups. The service covers securing connected devices and cloud services used by your Dev and Ops teams. We map IT systems, identify sensitive data, and propose targeted security measures. Our experts help align your strategy with ANSSI standards and CNIL data protection requirements. Actions include penetration testing, IAM review, secrets management, and integration of DevSecOps controls to secure code. The action plan prioritizes risk management, vulnerability remediation, and reducing exposure to cyberattacks. We recommend operational security policies to protect system and information security. The framework includes incident playbooks and response procedures to limit the impact of security incidents. Our security consultants work with the CIO to industrialize system security and automate controls. The goal is to make your environments secure, resilient, and compliant with customer and investor expectations. We measure and improve security levels through KPIs, periodic testing, and regular audits. Encryption and cryptography measures ensure the confidentiality of communications and sensitive data. We adapt security policies to the evolving IT systems and information technologies used by your teams. Our recommendations guarantee secure systems, protected against hackers, cybercriminals, and other malicious actors. Request a security check for startups—receive a health check, an IT security audit, and a prioritized roadmap.
Concrete challenges at this stage of growth
Your growth dynamic is rapid, often unbalanced between technology and governance. Yet, as soon as you store data, access the cloud, recruit your first developers, or target a major account, cybersecurity becomes a lever for credibility as well as continuity.
Cloud and Dev access to be structured
Formalize MFA best practices, roles, secrets.
Product safety to be promoted
Anticipate customer audits, penetration tests and due diligence.
Prepare for regulatory scalability
Putting in place the building blocks of compliance without hindering innovation
A rapidly evolving tech stack
Maintaining security consistency despite agility.
Need for operational visibility
Gain in detection and monitoring without building everything from scratch.
Make the team an active participant in security
Establish good daily habits.
Structuring security in an agile way
Establish a simple framework, adapted to your pace
Known vulnerabilities that need to be addressed
Prioritize and track progress in each sprint.
