Accelerating security solutions for small businesses 

Tagore offers strategic services to small businesses. 

A partnership that can scale 

Tagore prioritized finding a managed compliance partner with an established product, dedicated support team, and rapid release rate.

Standing out from competitors

Tagore's partnership with Vanta enhances its strategic focus and deepens client value, creating differentiation in a competitive market.

Going from ideation to production is a huge milestone in creating a sustainable startup. Going from production to profitable is another huge hurdle that comes with a variety of unforeseen challenges. Proving an organization’s security posture is one requirement that can put startup sales at a complete standstill.

As the leader in security and compliance, we work closely with a lot of startups to help streamline continuous security practices. In doing so, we understand that not all startups plan the same way, have the same resources, or prioritize responsibilities in the same order. In order to learn more about how startups actually secure and scale their organization, we created the State of Startup Security Survey.

In early 2022, we asked startups to honestly and anonymously answer questions about their security posture, their security roadmap, and how satisfied they are with their security in general.

Over 500 people took part in our survey and we break down the results in our first annual State of Startup Security Report. In this report, we share the full data breakdowns of each question - everything from demographics to security tooling. Respondents share how they prioritize security and how they’re proving it. Startup participants also discuss which compliance standards they’re working towards and how they’re getting certifications.

We’re excited to share our data with you. Check out the report to learn more.
