Threat picture

Why this sector gets targeted

Venture capital firms face aggregated cyber risk across their portfolio. A breach at one portfolio company can cascade - damaging fund reputation, triggering LP concerns, and destroying value in a company the fund invested millions to build. Most portfolio companies at the seed-to-Series B stage have minimal security programs: no penetration testing, no SOC 2, no formal vulnerability management. Yet these are the companies handling increasingly sensitive data, signing enterprise contracts that require security evidence, and building on AI-generated codebases that have never been reviewed. The pattern we see repeatedly: a portfolio company closes an enterprise deal that requires a pentest, scrambles to find a vendor, and discovers critical vulnerabilities that should have been caught months ago. Proactive portfolio-level security assessments prevent this scenario and accelerate revenue.

Questions

Asked on almost every call

We offer preferred rates for VCs that engage us across multiple portfolio companies. The more companies in the portfolio that use our services, the better the per-company rate. We can scope a mix of engagement types - full pentests for growth-stage companies, code reviews for early-stage, and compliance-focused testing for companies pursuing SOC 2 or PCI-DSS.

Yes. We provide portfolio-level reporting that gives fund partners and operating teams visibility into the security posture of each company - what has been tested, what findings were identified, and what has been remediated. This is delivered through our client portal with role-based access.

All stages from pre-seed to growth. For pre-seed and seed companies, we typically recommend vibe coding reviews and lightweight configuration audits. For Series A and beyond, we scope full penetration tests and compliance-driven assessments based on the company go-to-market requirements.

Yes. The fund introduces us, and we work directly with each portfolio company engineering team to scope, schedule, and execute the engagement. The fund gets visibility into results through portfolio-level reporting, while each company retains ownership of their detailed findings and remediation.

A pentest report is one of the most commonly requested items in enterprise security questionnaires. Our compliance-ready reports are designed to satisfy the security evidence requirements that enterprise buyers include in vendor assessments, RFPs, and procurement processes.
