Security baseline before your first enterprise deal

The boring checklist that unblocks procurement without turning your startup into a bureaucracy.

Enterprise security questionnaires punish improvisation. Build a baseline early. ## Baseline - SSO / least privilege for production - Secrets in a vault; rotated keys - Audit logs for admin actions - Dependency scanning in CI - Backup + restore tested once - Incident contact + basic runbook - Clear data retention story You do not need SOC 2 on day one — you need credible answers and evidence. UpZoom builds this into Cloud & product engagements so the first big deal is not a scramble. --- **Ready to put this into practice?** [Send a brief](/contact) — we’ll map Starter, Squad, ODC, or an Agent product sprint to your next 90 days.
