Latacora bootstraps security practices for startups.

Security is a complex, multifaceted problem: startups don’t need a "security person" as much as they need an application security assessment work on Monday, a Cloud security person on Tuesday, vendor security work on Wednesday, someone who can handle compliance questions on Thursday and an IT security expert on Friday--and ideally continuous monitoring throughout the week. Instead of spending an unbounded amount of time trying to hire a unicorn who is great at every aspect of security, you engage with us. We’ve got a diverse team of experts pre-equipped with processes and power tools. That lets you de-risk the process of acquiring security talent while assuring you have every security capability you’re likely to need.
