01 · The problem
Great product.
Lost on the security questionnaire.
A founder has real MRR and three Fortune 500 leads. Then procurement sends a 200-line security questionnaire asking for SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPDP controls and a SIEM. The deal stalls, then dies.
Not because the product was weak. Because nothing enterprise-grade stood behind it.

Up to $100K of capability, delivered by one team.
Everything an enterprise security review asks for, scoped to your company and product. Executed by Securium, not handed to you as a to-do list.
Security operations
SIEM 24x7 via CS365
Our own SIEM, monitored around the clock by Securium's SOC. Log collection, detection rules and incident response, so “which SIEM do you use?” has a real answer.

Not consultants.
Investors in capability.
VOLANS HQ is backed by Securium Group, a CERT-In empanelled cybersecurity company that has served 500+ startups. Here is how that differs from the usual route.

| Tracking | Spreadsheets and email threads | Your own branded security portal |
| Time to ready | 6 to 12 months is common | Targeted at 60 days |
| Cost to founder | Cash upfront, before the deal closes | No cash in Year 1; equity as per valuation |
| Incentive | Paid by the hour | We invest capability and win when you grow |
