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 on a unique security status page. 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. This includes likes of Instacart and LinkedIn, suggesting that Safebase’s proposition is appealing as more than just a money-saving strategy

Since being founded in 2020, and joining the Y-Combinator startup accelerator the same year, Safebase has been steadily gaining momentum. Further, recent funding secured will be used to invest into its platform and develop its services further.
