Security Testing for Startups: When to Start and What to Prioritise — 日本企業向けガイド

Startups face a security paradox: a breach can be company-ending, but budgets are limited. The key is right-sizing security assessment to your stage. Pre-launch: at minimum, conduct a focused penetration test of your core application before going to production — finding critical vulnerabilities before customers are at risk. Post-launch: establish a regular testing cadence aligned to your deployment frequency. Preparing for enterprise customers: enterprise buyers increasingly require evidence of security testing — SOC 2 readiness, penetration test reports, and documented security practices. Our scoping process helps startups identify their highest-risk areas and focus testing where it matters most, delivering genuine security assurance within startup-appropriate budgets.
