“Startups are under immense pressure to meet business objectives under compressed timelines and with limited resources,” said Richard Stiennon, Principal Analyst at IT-Harvest and author of Security Yearbook. “They are operating in an extremely dynamic threat environment that even large, well-resourced organisations struggle to navigate successfully. There isn’t a dedicated vendor in the market that is clearly focused on helping startups and small businesses mature their security posture and eventually take control of protecting their company and customers, allowing them to focus on growth without disruption.”
“I have been in security for a long time and have seen firsthand that most solutions and processes are only built for large enterprises, not startups,” said CEO and Founder of Endari, Nils Puhlmann. “Startups are left behind with a patchwork of solutions that can’t be implemented properly because they don’t have the right talent and are not looking at the big picture. Essentially, they are stuck with security gaps and limited visibility, leaving them vulnerable and exposed in the current threat landscape. I created Endari because somebody needed to step up and do something to tackle this major gap in the market. There’s just too much at stake when it’s the smaller companies that larger companies rely on by utilising their technologies and solutions. All it takes is one big breach and a startup is done—most of them won’t survive it.”
As advisors and builders, Endari ensures that the right cybersecurity strategy and technology become integral parts of a company’s operational DNA, evolving with the business throughout its journey.
“Cybersecurity vendors often have only surface-level awareness and knowledge about the operational risk environment most companies live in,” said Mark Weatherford, CISO Advisor at Endari. “Maintaining cybersecurity readiness through ad hoc measures that lack consistent and well-documented processes makes it difficult to assess and improve the overall effectiveness of their cybersecurity investments.
