You focus on scaling. We'll handle the threats.
Done-for-you business continuity and operational resilience for startups, small businesses, and scale-ups so you can concentrate on what matters most
The Problem
Your product won't matter if your business can't stay online.
Relentless Cyberattacks
Ransomware, phishing, and AI-driven attacks are targeting smaller companies because they're seen as softer, easier prey.
Cloud Dependency
Outages from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud can instantly paralyze startups with no fallback.
Third-Party Risk
A single vendor, SaaS tool, or payment processor going down can cascade through your entire business model.
Regulatory Pressure
New rules like the EU's DORA and US cyber disclosure requirements mean startups will soon need Fortune 500–level resilience.
Reputation Fragility
One public outage or breach can destroy trust, and startups don't get second chances.
Capital Risk
VCs are increasingly asking about operational resilience before they invest — fragility equals lost funding.
Global Disruptions
Supply chain shocks, climate events, and geopolitical instability are no longer "big company problems" — they hit startups too.
Insider & Human Error
Small teams with fast growth are especially exposed to mistakes, social engineering, and lack of crisis leadership experience.
Your customers, your stakeholders, your team — they all assume you'll be there tomorrow. But in a world of cyberattacks, outages, extreme weather, and regulators closing in, "hoping for the best" doesn't cut it.
If you are not investing in resilience in this market, you are building your company on a fault line. It doesn't matter how much funding you've raised or how brilliant your team is, one shock can take it all down overnight.
