—WHY SECURITY DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION... NOW —the cost of ignoring security —"ARE WE SECURE ENOUGH?" [3 SIGNS YOU'RE NOT] —the NEW RIGHT WAY: SECURITY BY DESIGN
TL;DR
Ignoring security isn’t just a tech issue—it’s a business risk that can cost millions, delay deals, and even shut down operations.
Security failures hurt growth: 81% of software buyers consider a vendor's history with data breaches or security incidents when evaluating solutions.
The solutions security by design. Instead of last-minute fixes, modern platforms integrate security from day one, ensuring faster releases with fewer risks.
—Why Security deserves your attention... now
If you’re a business manager running a B2B SaaS company, security might seem like something your IT team handles. After all, you have a great product, strong sales, and a growing customer base... so why worry about security now?
Because security isn't just a tech issue—it's a business risk. A single data breach can cost $4.45 million and lead to lost customers, regulatory fines, and lawsuits.
Security is not just about protection data. It’s about:—The cost of ignoring security
Security failures don’t just cause IT problems—they disrupt the entire business:
Many companies assume they’re too small to be a target, but 83% of SMBs hit by ransomware go bankrupt within 1 year. Security isn’t just for large enterprises—it’s for any SaaS business handling customer data.
—"are we secure enough?" [3 signs you're not]
1. Your sales team keeps hearing: "We need SOC2 first."
What's happening? A majority of buyers won’t sign deals unless your company meets security standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Without these certifications, potential customers see you as a risk.
The fix: Our platform bakes in compliance into your workflows—checking the necessary boxes without slowing sales down.
2. Your team says: "We'll add security later on."
What's happening? Many startups delay security until they scale, but retrofitting security later is 3–5x more expensive, more vulnerable to attacks and a common reason for delays in launching new features.
The fix: Our "secure by design" platform ensures security is integrated from day one, like how seatbelts are built into cars rather than added later.
3. You CAN'T ANSWER THE SIMPLE QUESTION: "WHERE'S OUR DATA?"
What's happening? If you don’t know where customer data is stored, who has access, or how it’s protected, your company is one incident away from regulatory hell.
The fix: Modern platforms like ours provide real-time visibility into where your data is, who is accessing it, and how it’s being used—without requiring a security expert.
—the new right way: securITY by design
Security isn’t a one-time fix. It’s an ongoing process, and that's where Platform Engineering ↗ and DevSecOps (integrating security into DevOps ↗) comes in as the new standard for SaaS companies.
DevSecOps ensures that security vulnerabilities are identified before they turn into costly breaches. Instead of fixing security later, it becomes a natural part of development. Even Microsoft has embraced this, launching its Security DevOps Toolkit to help developers catch security issues early—before they turn into breaches.
Here's a summary of the key improvements made in the recent years.
| THE OLD WAY [SLOW & RISKY] | THE NEW WAY [FAST & SECURE] | |
| HOW SECURITY WORKS | Added late, causing delays | Built-in from the start |
| AUDITS & COMPLIANCE | Last-minute scramble | Always up to date |
| RISK MANAGEMENT | Issues found too late | Problems prevented early |
| SPEED OF RELEASES | Slow, due to security checks | Faster, without extra risk |
| OVERALL IMPACT | More delays, higher costs | Smoother growth, fewer problems |
