Cybersecurity for Bay Area Biotech and Life Sciences

SOC 2 readiness, IP protection, and security that satisfies investors, partners, and regulators.

The Challenge

Security posture review is now standard in VC due diligence. Deals have been killed or renegotiated based on security gaps. Post-Series A, enterprise customers and partners routinely require SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.

Research data is the asset. IP theft, ransomware targeting lab systems, and credential compromise are growing threats. Regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA) increasingly expect documented security controls.

Series A Ready

Preparing for your next funding round? Investors will ask about your security program. Net.Protect Enterprise gives you documented controls, evidence packages, and a security narrative that passes due diligence.

SOC 2 Type 2 audits cost $20,000–$50,000+. Net.Protect implements many of the underlying controls, reducing audit scope and cost.

AI Governance for Regulated Research

Biotech teams are adopting AI tools for data analysis, literature review, and documentation. Regulators and investors increasingly expect documented AI governance policies — who can use what tools, with what data, under what oversight. Our AI consulting services help you build that framework before it becomes a compliance gap.
