Security and compliance for startups

The first enterprise prospect sends a security questionnaire, or your Series A diligence flags security risk. traztech gets you ready before either becomes a blocker.

What you are up against

Early-stage companies hit security demands suddenly, usually attached to a deal or a raise you cannot afford to lose.

The first enterprise security questionnaire

A large prospect sends a security questionnaire and the deal stalls because you have no program to point to.

SOC 2 before Series A

Investors and enterprise customers increasingly expect SOC 2, and the timeline means you should start before you think you need to.

No security owner

You cannot justify a full-time CISO yet, but you still need someone accountable for the program.

Building it right the first time

Retrofitting security after you scale costs far more than designing it in early.

Why traztech is poised for Startups

traztech is run by a published security researcher with five published CVEs, including CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1), the kill-switch for the Mirai botnet, and our principal has bootstrapped a product of their own. We know the startup constraint set first-hand, and our principal has delivered a SOC 2 Type II programme in house.

See the full research and CVE record, or read how we work with our partners. Once you are engaged, our auditor management & advocacy and vulnerability management services keep the program moving, tracked through your existing traztech Workspace.

Frequently asked questions

When should a startup start SOC 2?

Before you think you need it. Readiness takes time, and the trigger is usually a deal or a raise you cannot delay. Starting early means the report is ready when the moment arrives.

We just got our first security questionnaire. What now?

A fractional CISO engagement can turn it around quickly while building the underlying program, so your answers are true and you have something real behind them.

Do investors actually ask about security?

At Series A and beyond, technical and security diligence is common, and enterprise revenue often depends on SOC 2. Getting ahead of it removes a diligence risk.

Can we afford this at our stage?

Every service has a published starting price: SOC 2 readiness from $3,000 for the gap analysis, a vCISO from $2,500 per month. Each is scoped to your stage, so you get a real program without an enterprise budget.

Do we need a full-time CISO?

Not yet. A fractional CISO gives you a named, accountable security owner for questionnaires, diligence, and the program without a six-figure full-time hire.

The same work, without the line item

Every readiness programme needs a control library, an evidence register, policies and a score for the board. Being quoted five figures a year for that is normal. Paying it is not.
