The Security 4 Startups (“S4S”) was designed by a working group of investors and small, mid, and large-corporation CISOs. Its purpose is to empower startups with reasonable security controls that are intelligently applied and have a favorable cost-effect ratio. Simply put: S4S strives to help early stage startups solve for their greatest security risks, in a balanced way, and in a manner that’s sustainable and doesn’t demand great security expertise. While S4S will not solve every security vulnerability, it provides a solid baseline addressing the most common and important security challenges companies face and will provide a solid starting point from which companies can grow their security program.

Open-source vision: The S4S is an open-source project that is managed by the core group, but accepts changes and additions from the community. It will be updated periodically.

Small deposits wisely invested accrue compound interest. This is true of action and inaction regarding cybersecurity. Though security is generally perceived as important, not all early stage startups address it. Why? Because investing in security is not perceived as urgent, but costly and difficult to maintain.
