// Cybersecurity for startups & growing businesses
// proof
What we did for a venture-backed technology company.
We ran the full loop across their cloud and applications, from finding the risk to fixing it with their team, and stayed on through remediation. Client name withheld and specifics anonymised at their request.
900+
AWS findings surfaced and triaged
580+
GCP findings surfaced and triaged
100%
endpoints brought under EDR
An active intrusion was also detected and contained during the engagement.
// who we help
Built for teams without a security team.
If you hold customer data but can’t justify a full-time security hire yet, you’re exactly who we’re built for. We work the way your business actually runs.
Cloud-native
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenant data, fast release cycles, and the SOC 2 your enterprise deals depend on.
Regulated
Fintech
Money movement and PII under real scrutiny, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and auditors who ask hard questions.
Sensitive data
Health tech
Patient data and HIPAA from day one, without slowing down the product you’re racing to ship.
High throughput
Ad tech
Real-time bidding, streams of behavioural data, and the privacy scrutiny, GDPR, DPDP, that comes with it.
AI-native
Training data, model endpoints, and the SOC 2 your enterprise customers now demand before they’ll trust an AI vendor.
Supply chain
Developer tools
APIs, SDKs, and CI/CD that sit inside your customers’ systems, so your security becomes their security too.
// what we do
Six ways we keep you secure.
01
Find your weak spots
We probe your cloud, apps, and infrastructure the way a real attacker would, then hand you a short, ranked list of what’s genuinely exploitable, not a 300-page dump you’ll never read.
02
Secure your cloud
Whatever you run on (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or a mix), we lock it down: fixing the risky settings and access that let one stolen password unlock everything.
03
Protect against modern attacks
Phishing, fraud, and AI-driven scams keep getting smarter. We put the right defenses in place, including logins that can’t be phished and always-on monitoring, and train your team to catch the rest.
04
Build security into how you ship
We build security into how your team ships, so risky code and leaked passwords get caught automatically, before they ever reach your customers.
05
Get compliance-ready
Plain-English help getting to the standards your customers ask for (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, DPDP), with controls you can actually keep up.
06
Security leadership on tap
Senior security direction without hiring a full-time CISO, a clear roadmap tied to your budget, honest risk calls, board-ready reporting, and someone senior to call when something comes up.

01
Assess
We map your real attack surface, cloud, applications, identities, and configuration.
02
Prioritise
We cut the false positives and rank what’s left by real-world exploitability and business impact.
03
Fix
We work alongside your team to remediate, in your tools and workflow, at your pace.
04
Verify
We re-test and confirm each issue is genuinely closed, with evidence.
// what you walk away with
Proof you can hand to a board.
Not a 300-page PDF that gathers dust. You get artifacts a non-technical stakeholder can read at a glance, and that stand up to a technical one.

CLOSED & RETESTED
We don’t mark it done until we’ve broken it again and it holds.
// why sheer safe
Why teams choose Sheer Safe.
01
You work directly with a senior security engineer.
The person who scopes your work is the person who does it.
02
We fix what we find.
Success is measured by problems closed, not reports delivered.
03
Harden first, buy last.
We make the most of what you already pay for, and only add new tools when they genuinely close a gap, chosen to fit your budget, not an enterprise one.
04
We share the why.
You get the reasoning behind every fix, so your own team gets sharper too.
// ai-assisted, human-led
AI does the grunt work. People make the calls.
We use AI to move faster across the boring, high-volume parts of security, never to replace the judgment that decides what actually matters for your business.
Triage
Ranked in minutes, not weeks
AI scores thousands of findings by real-world exploitability, so senior time goes to the handful that could actually hurt you, not a flat, endless list.
Detection
The quiet issues, surfaced
Pattern-matching across your logs and configurations catches the subtle misconfigurations and drift that a one-off manual review tends to miss.
Reporting
Plain-English, in seconds
Findings and remediation steps are drafted instantly, then reviewed, corrected, and signed off by the engineer who did the work.
// frameworks, in plain english
The standards your customers ask about.
Auditors certify, we get you there. We build the controls, gather the evidence, and walk you through the audit, so ‘are you compliant?’ stops holding up your deals. Here’s what the ones you’ll be asked about actually mean.
SOC 2
US · global
Proves you handle customer data responsibly. The report enterprise buyers ask for before they’ll sign, often the thing blocking your biggest deals.
ISO 27001
international
The global standard for running a real security program. Widely recognised and increasingly expected once you’re selling to larger organisations.
HIPAA
US · health
The US rules for protecting health information. Non-negotiable the moment you store, process, or touch patient data.
GDPR
EU
How you must handle the personal data of EU residents. Applies the instant you have European users, wherever your company is based.
PCI DSS
payments
The rules for handling card payments safely. Required if you take card details at all, directly or through a payment processor.
DPDP
India
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act. If you handle the personal data of people in India, this is the one that now applies to you.
// incident response
A suspicious login, data somewhere it shouldn’t be, files you can’t open, a vendor telling you they’ve been breached, if something feels wrong, the worst move is to wait and hope. Get in touch and we’ll help you contain it, work out what actually happened, and close the gap so it can’t happen the same way twice.
01
Contain
Isolate affected systems and cut off access before it spreads.
02
Investigate
Work out what happened, what was touched, and how they got in.
03
Recover
Get you operating safely again, with evidence preserved.
04
Harden
Close the gap that let it happen so it doesn’t repeat.
