ENTERPRISE-GRADE DATA VAULT | How small businesses win big contracts

THE SITUATION

You're on the verge of closing a major enterprise customer when they send over a 10-page document outlining their security requirements, because they've realized you'll be handling their sensitive data in your cloud environment. Sound familiar?

Your tech lead reviews the document and breaks the news: "We've never done this before. We'll need to bring in a security expert and rebuild our systems. It'll require a significant infrastructure investment and take six months to implement."

 

THE SOLUTION

Enterprise-Grade Data Vault. You don't need to overhaul your entire IT infrastructure and operations. What you need is a focused approach, one that isolates and secures only what matters to your enterprise customer, and provides documentation solely for that critical part.

Think of it this way: When you buy an expensive diamond necklace, you don't install security cameras in every room or replace all the locks in your house. Instead, you add a secure vault specifically for that one valuable item. This focused approach is not only more effective, but also more cost-efficient.

Our Data Vault approach creates a dedicated, isolated secure environment for customer data specific to the services you provide. This sharply limits system boundaries and streamlines the controls needed to meet your contractual security commitments, without unnecessary disruption.

OUR APPROACH

We embed senior experts into your team, someone who knows exactly what your enterprise client expects to see. They work hands-on to get everything done, with no junior staff and no abstract advice. Just practical, execution-focused support. Here's our three-step process:

1. ISOLATE
We create a dedicated environment just for your customer's data

We separate enterprise security concerns from your core product, minimizing disruption.

Dedicated Cloud Instance Creation

Our security engineers work closely with your development team to build a separate cloud instance, specifically configured to handle enterprise customer data.

Unnecessary Component Removal

We eliminate all non-essential services and components to minimize the security footprint and reduce the scope of what needs to be protected.

Secure Data Pathways

We design clean, tightly controlled data flows so that enterprise data moves only where it's supposed to, nowhere else.

2. SECURE
We implement exactly what your enterprise customer needs, nothing more, nothing less

Precision-targeted security controls that exactly match your requirements.

Hands-Off Security Technology

We deploy simple, automated security measures that meet your customer's requirements. These systems run with minimal upkeep, your team only needs to monitor them occasionally.

Easy-to-Follow Security Playbooks

We provide clear, step-by-step guides for any tasks that require human input. Each playbook outlines exactly who on your team is responsible, no security expertise needed.

Complete Security Testing Coverage

We take care of all required security validation. From vulnerability scans to penetration tests and formal security reviews, we coordinate with trusted partners so you don't have to become a testing expert.

3. DOCUMENT
We make compliance straightforward

Clear, accurate documentation that addresses all enterprise requirements.

Ready-Made Documentation

We handle all security policies and documentation, tailored precisely to your enterprise customer's requirements, no guesswork, no wasted time.

Fast-Track Certification

We manage the entire process to help you achieve ISO 27001 certification quickly and efficiently. Everything built in earlier stages is aligned to make certification seamless.

Expert Questionnaire Management

We write all security questionnaire responses for you and can communicate directly with your customer's security team, if needed. Our goal: reduce back-and-forth and accelerate deal closures.


This focused approach minimizes the attack surface without increasing your costs. We secure only what matters to your enterprise customer, while keeping your core systems untouched. By automating where possible and focusing only on what's essential for your customer, we significantly lower ongoing costs, making enterprise-grade security achievable with your existing team.
