Startup Security, 2nd Edition
summary
Actionable checklist for the first security hire: spend the first 30 days building relationships, 60 days planning and iterating, 90 days shipping a tangible win — for example enable two-factor for everyone — prioritize three small, completable wins over one endless project, buy commodity tools instead of rebuilding, set up centralized logging and a response playbook with a CT email, evaluate EDR and decide build vs buy by real headcount cost, and get SOC 2 Type II early while ship U2F keys company-wide.
