The 6 Security Killers Destroying Business Growth

No Security Program

€20M+ deals blocked / No program exists

"We have no security program to show enterprise customers"

  • ‣ CTO juggles security and product
  • ‣ Can't answer customer questionnaires
  • ‣ Losing €5-20M enterprise deals
  • ‣ Competitors with programs win

Compliance Nightmare

€20M+ fines / Limited capacity

"NIS2, ISO 27001, SOC 2 - we're drowning"

  • ‣ Security requirements unclear
  • ‣ Enterprise contracts blocked
  • ‣ 25-person team overwhelmed
  • ‣ Consulting costs €150K+

Security Blackbox

  • ‣ Investors worried about risks
  • ‣ CTO spends days on reports
  • ‣ Security posture unclear
  • ‣ No effective security metrics

Transformation Chaos

€500K+ security overhauls / 6+ months

"Every business change breaks our security"

  • ‣ Geographic expansion blocked
  • ‣ 5x growth breaks architecture
  • ‣ M&A integration is nightmare
  • ‣ Rebuilding from scratch

Crisis Leadership Gap

Incidents cost trust / No prioritization

"When incidents hit, we have no crisis leadership"

  • ‣ Losing valuable time and money
  • ‣ Technical team overwhelmed
  • ‣ Customer communications fail
  • ‣ Chaotic decisions

AI Risk Explosion

Every team uses AI / No visibility

"AI tools everywhere, no security governance"

  • ‣ Every product has AI
