Startup Foundation Package

Don't Build Technical Debt from Day One

Every startup eventually needs proper IT. The question is whether you build it right from the start or spend 10x fixing it later when enterprise customers demand security questionnaires.

Our Startup Foundation gives you the infrastructure that makes you look established - without the cost of a full IT team. Ready for SOC 2 when you need it. Ready to scale when you grow.

Start Foundation Setup

What's Included

Foundation Components

Productivity Suite

Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 properly configured. Professional email, document collaboration, calendar, and video conferencing.

Identity & SSO

Single sign-on for all your apps. One login, centralized access control. Provision and deprovision users in minutes.

Device Management

Mac and Windows management. Remote deployment, security policies, and inventory. Zero-touch onboarding for new hires.

Password Management

Enterprise password manager for secure credential sharing. No more passwords in Slack or shared spreadsheets.

Security Baseline

MFA everywhere, endpoint protection, secure configurations. The security foundation for future SOC 2 compliance.

Onboarding Workflow

Automated new hire provisioning. Equipment, accounts, and access ready before their first day.

Why Now

Problems This Solves

Security Questionnaires

Enterprise prospects sending 200-question security assessments? You'll have real answers, not "we'll implement that soon."

Slow Onboarding

New hires waiting days for accounts and access? Zero-touch deployment gets them productive on day one.

Password Chaos

Shared logins in Slack? Everyone using the same Netflix password? Proper credential management and SSO.

Risky Offboarding

Do former employees still have access? Centralized identity means instant deprovisioning when people leave.

Remote Work Security

Team scattered everywhere with personal laptops? Managed devices and secure access from anywhere.

Scaling Struggles

What works at 5 people breaks at 50. Foundation is built to scale from day one.

FAQ

Foundation Questions

Absolutely. We'll audit your current configuration, implement proper security settings, add SSO and device management, and fill the gaps. You don't need to start from scratch.

Our minimum is 10 users, but we're flexible for high-growth companies. The economics make more sense at 15+, but we can discuss your situation. Building right early saves significant cost later.

Yes. The Foundation establishes many SOC 2 prerequisites - identity management, device security, access controls. When you need SOC 2, you'll have a much shorter path than starting from scratch.
