Cybersecurity Services for Startups

VC Backed Startup is an ambitious venture that has garnered significant attention and funding from leading VC firms. With a mission to address a pressing industry challenge, the startup is in the process of developing a revolutionary application. However, with innovation comes the responsibility of ensuring top-notch security and compliance, especially given the startup's aspirations to achieve SOC 2 Type 1 and subsequently, Type 2.

Building a secure application from scratch, while simultaneously establishing a robust enterprise architecture that meets SOC 2 standards. The startup needed to ensure that security was embedded at every stage of the development process, without compromising on agility and innovation.

BD Emerson stepped in as a trusted partner, collaborating closely with the startup's development team. Through comprehensive training sessions on the OWASP SKF and ASVS, BD Emerson ensured that the team was well-versed in best security practices. By integrating their security methodology directly into the build process, BD Emerson ensured that security was not an afterthought but a foundational element of the application.

Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance within a tight timeframe of 60 days, and subsequently initiating the monitoring phase for SOC 2 Type 2.

Leveraging their partnership with Vanta and a control plane approach, BD Emerson crafted a comprehensive strategy for VC Backed Startup. The BD Emerson Legal Group played a pivotal role, overseeing the creation of essential assets, processes, procedures, and agreements. With the seamless onboarding of requisite technology and close collaboration with auditors, BD Emerson ensured that the startup not only achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance within the stipulated 60 days but also smoothly transitioned to the SOC 2 Type 2 monitoring phase. Following a meticulous 3-month observation window, VC Backed Startup proudly secured their SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
