Startups typically are asked to meet stringent cyber security standards from inception. But is this really possible? How you can meet some basic cyber security requirements without breaking the bank?
In this workshop we will discuss some of the most often asked questions that tech startups face. We will discuss how to leverage security compliance documents provided by cloud providers such as AWS and Azure as well as their limitations. We will also review best practice cyber security frameworks that you can use to build your cyber maturity roadmap and discuss how certification to the PCI Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard can help demonstrate adherence and compliance to your clients.
