Security readiness.
Without a full-time CISO.
Enterprise prospects, investors, and regulators all ask the same question: how seriously do you take security? PlayCISO gives you the tools to answer it credibly — and to actually be ready, not just look it.
No credit card. No signup required for the scorecard.
The four security moments every founder hits
Usually in this order. Usually without warning.
Enterprise deal stalled on security review
A Fortune 500 prospect asked for your SOC 2 report, pen test, and incident response policy. You have two weeks. You have none of those.
Investor diligence is asking about your security posture
Your Series B term sheet arrived with a 40-question security questionnaire. You need credible answers, not vague "we take security seriously" copy.
You need to hire your first Head of Security
You don't know what great looks like. You don't know what to pay. You don't know what questions to ask in the panel. And a bad hire here is expensive.
What do you do if you get breached tomorrow?
You have 5 engineers and no security team. No runbook. No clear owner. No idea who to call or what to say to customers — and you have 72 hours before GDPR requires notification.
What you get
Tools built for the security challenges founders actually face.
