Enabling Continuous Compliance and Secure DevOps for a Series C AI Startup

A rapidly growing Series C AI startup, backed by a leading global venture capital firm, was scaling its engineering operations while serving enterprise customers with stringent security and compliance requirements. As the organization expanded its cloud infrastructure and accelerated product releases, it needed a trusted cybersecurity partner to strengthen its security program, streamline compliance, and embed security into its software development lifecycle.
