Laying Security Foundations That Scale
Sheetal Joseph, CISO of Bitvavo
Building a security programme, whether from zero in a lean startup or rebooting one in a mature organisation, is as much about context as it is about controls. There’s no one-size-fits-all blueprint, but there is a repeatable framework that adapts to your organisation’s size, risk profile, and growth trajectory.
In this talk, I’ll walk through a practical, four-phase model that helps you build or rebuild security with clarity and purpose. From facing the right direction, to getting the basics right, embedding them sustainably, and if needed scaling to a more strategic and advanced level.
