This seems quite useful. Will you help find/place the right first hire for when companies outgrow you?
That's the critical final selling point for me. Great, you've taken security off my plate in a small business. But now I'm disengaged from the security side of things when it comes time to find the first full time security hire.
Yes, we will. We want to be the bridge --- for maybe, I don't know, 9-18 months? --- between "we've reached the point where we think we need a security team" and "we've been doing security long enough as a team that we know what we need for a full-time lead security person".
There's a weird adolescence that happens between those two points where we see people struggling to staff effectively.
We think we can get companies to a point where they've built a solid security program and run it for months before hiring for security --- and that the net result is that you're hiring that role more like how Jason Fried from Basecamp would say you should hire: when you understand the role so well that you know exactly why and how you should hire for it.
That's the critical final selling point for me. Great, you've taken security off my plate in a small business. But now I'm disengaged from the security side of things when it comes time to find the first full time security hire.
Very cool though. Good luck!
