Our take
Security assessment for B2B companies looking to sell to enterprises can be a gruelling process. Such assessments can drag on for weeks, inflating overhead costs and stagnating progress. This is where Safebase comes in: its platform allows companies to automatically monitor and present its security program.
Through use of Safebase, companies can shave days off of the assessment process by ensuring accurate information and updates are immediately available. It has a steadily increasing number of customers, and is directed primarily at smaller startups who lack the funding (or need) to conduct full security audits.
Since being founded in 2020, and joining the Y-Combinator startup accelerator the same year, Safebase has been steadily gaining momentum. It has raised considerable funding since then, the latest of which will support the further enhancement of its platform.
