I Started My Startup. How Do I Secure It?
summary
A practical guide for securing an early-stage startup by doing a step-by-step risk analysis: ask what happens if data is leaked, corrupted, or lost, inventory hardware and software, and assess attacker motivation so defenses match real risk and budget. Implement foundational controls such as multi-factor authentication, a password manager, and mobile/device management with disk encryption, keep software patched, revoke ex-employee access quickly, run basic incident playbooks, and document processes and owners; prioritize low-friction, cost‑effective controls and hire specialists (cryptography, app security) only when needed.
