As a startup, your main concerns are usually focused on business growth, sales or anything else that can be quantified. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs believe that their main (and sometimes only) goals should be focused on features and expansion. As a result, they ignore or postpone cybersecurity considerations to a later date, when it is on this indispensable factor that digital trust capital is built. Good startups integrate security thinking into their organisational and engineering processes from the start. In contrast, the not-so-good ones take a minimal approach or wait until the product is finalised before starting to think about the security aspect. If these startups are lucky, they will have the opportunity to review all their processes, albeit at significant cost. If not, as has often been the case, the less fortunate ones may be the target of a persistent attack for a potential M&A deal, or they will close down or have their valuation reduced as a result of a data leak for example. So what are the essential rules to follow in order to offer a product or service with digital confidence?
