Making Security Easy for a Cosmetic B2C Startup

Challenge:

As a startup, streamlining non-revenue-generating business units is always ideal. Doing so allows a young company to focus on growth and customer acquisition, and it’s also usually more cost-effective to
outsource what you can.

That’s the exact mindset the CTO of a consumer-facing startup adopted. After experiencing a data breach back in 2020, he knew it was crucial to establish a mature and well-developed cybersecurity posture to protect customer and PCI data.

The issue was that streamlining cybersecurity is much easier said than done. There are thousands of tools and vendors out there, all making similar claims. Additionally, finding the talent to properly manage these tools is both difficult and expensive.
The CTO decided to evaluate several managed security vendors to help alleviate the burden of cybersecurity. His shortlist included some of the most notable MDR and MSSP vendors in the industry, such as companies like Arctic Wolf and CrowdStrike.

Solution:

In the end, the CTO chose SolCyber as his dedicated security partner moving forward. When compared to the competition, SolCyber was the only company that offered a true “one-stop shop.”

While other vendors provided bits and pieces of what the CTO was looking for, he would have had to find additional vendors to fill in the gaps. Since his ultimate goal was to completely offload the cybersecurity burden, this discouraged him from choosing the larger vendors.

Outcome:

Foundational Coverage delivered the solution the CTO was seeking. It not only included all the tools he wanted but also featured our 24/7 SOC team, eliminating the need to hire additional staff.

The greatest value to the CTO was that he could completely remove security responsibilities from his plate. This allowed him to focus on enhancing the user experience for their customers and growing the business. In the future, he’ll be in an excellent position to achieve various certifications and compliance standards.
