The focus on Security

Being a founder, quality and security are two of the fundamental pillars of my day to day work. Coming from a technology background and working with multiple Fortune 100 Clients, this comes naturally to me. They guide how I build products, lead teams, and earn trust.

But I’ve also seen the other side where security & Quality often takes a backseat. In the name of moving fast, or lack of skills or careless vibe coding, security and quality often takes a hit.

The harsh reality

Having said that, cloud security is not something that is easy for everyone out there and security is something that often is the last priority for a lot of companies. Heck, Marketing Budget beats security in most organization and here’s why:

1. Founders prioritize growth over risk (at least early on)

2. Marketing has a budget. Security is usually a response.

3. Perception > Protection

4. Until the breach, marketing wins. After the breach, security gets blamed.

This is the harsh truth with tech startups and even mature companies.

The Real Role of Security

As you grow your company(start up or a mid sized), the role of security quietly shifts. It becomes the foundation for trust. Your sales team needs it to close deals. Your marketing team needs it to tell a credible story. Your compliance team needs it to pass audits. And your leadership team needs it to sleep at night. Security is essential to enable growth without fear of loosing trust.

1. Security for Security’s sake

Here are the real reasons why you need to focus of security:

1. Misconfigurations don’t care about your ARR. Attackers don’t care about your roadmap.

2. If you don’t know what’s exposed, you’re running blind — and that’s when real damage happens.

3. A breach won’t just impact infra. It’ll impact reputation, sales, revenue, and investor confidence.

4. Having visibility into your cloud is not optional anymore.

5. I can go on but I think you get the point.

2. Security simplifies compliance

Good security = easy compliance. Bad security = painful life.

1. Every compliance framework (be it HIPAA or ISO) is built on a foundation of strong security controls.

2. Sloppy security means your compliance effort multiplies.

   1. While clients/users are waiting for features, Documentation & policies will say HOLD ON!

3. No one likes “surprises” during audits (Internal/External)

   1. Later, pls don’t blame the security guy, they mostly would have told you multiple times.

4. Happy Auditors. If this doesn’t sound amazing, I don’t know what does.

3. Security Is a Marketing Advantage

Security is a story worth telling. Use it to build trust at first glance.

1. Companies brag about being secure , it’s a differentiator now

2. Compliance and Certification are band Signals

3. Your competitor is NOT highlighting security on the home page. Clients prefer you.

4. Your Marketers loves Compliance Certificates & Badges.

4. Security Helps Sales Close Faster

No trust = no deal. Security shortens sales cycles.

1. Clients and Buyers are always smart. They will love a company with great security posture.

2. Sales are quick only after Security Questionnaire is answered to satisfaction.

3. Strong Security = Strong credibility & increases buyer’s confidence.

4. Strong Security means Strong sales pitch.

5. And oh, Say hello to Premium Pricing.

Turn Security Into Your Competitive Edge

In case you want to build a successful company, start focusing on security today. You know why? Security Builds Trust and trust builds companies.

But, the reality, its different. Let’s talk about what’s really happening inside fast-growing teams like yours:

• Your engineers are shipping fast.

• Your cloud setup is evolving weekly.

• Clients are asking for security assurances.

• Auditors are asking for proof.

• And you don’t have a full-time security team yet.

And so, you know what happens?

1. Misconfigurations slip through.

2. Compliance reports turn into last-minute marathons.

3. Marketing team is not having enough data.
