Practical, no-nonsense cybersecurity consulting for startups and SMEs — from vendor due diligence to AI governance. We help you build securely from day one, without the enterprise price tag.
Whether you're pre-seed or scaling fast, we provide the security layer your business needs — without the complexity.
Help your business pass the security checks that matter. We prepare you for vendor assessments, questionnaires, and third-party audits so deals don't stall at the security stage.
Stop managing vulnerabilities manually. We design and implement automated workflows that continuously scan, prioritise, and track your security gaps — so nothing slips through.
Building with AI tools, LLMs, or automated workflows? We help you establish the guardrails, data handling policies, and risk frameworks needed to build responsibly and stay compliant.
No full-time CISO? No problem. We act as your fractional security advisor — helping you make smart, risk-informed decisions that keep your business protected and investor-ready.
With over a decade of experience in cybersecurity across financial services, tech, and the public sector, I founded SecureStart Advisory to give early-stage businesses access to the same quality security thinking that large enterprises rely on.
Most security firms are built for enterprises. We're not. We understand that startups move fast, budgets are tight, and security can't slow you down — it needs to enable you.
No jargon, no scare tactics. Just clear, actionable guidance.
We know the trade-offs. We help you make smart ones.
Deep experience in securing AI-powered products and workflows.
We help you pass security reviews, not block deals.
Real results from businesses that needed practical security help, not a 200-page report they'd never read.
"We were days away from losing a major enterprise client because we couldn't answer their security questionnaire. SecureStart got us audit-ready in two weeks. The deal closed."
"We were building an AI-powered HR tool and had no idea what governance we needed. The framework they put in place gave us and our clients real confidence."
"Our vulnerability management was a spreadsheet nightmare. Now it's fully automated and we actually know what to prioritise. Saved us hours every week."
