Enterprise-grade security,
free for startups
Building for enterprise customers? Start security on day one, pass vendor security reviews sooner, and skip the costly scramble before your first big deal. NMT gives qualifying startups the essentials, free.
What you get, free
The four things every enterprise buyer checks for, ready from day one.
Security Policy Pack
Ready-to-use security policies mapped to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, the exact documentation enterprise buyers ask for. Skip weeks of writing policies from scratch.
Continuous Attack Surface Management
Always-on, outside-in monitoring of your internet-facing assets. Catch exposed services and leaked credentials before an attacker or a customer security team does.
Risk Management
A living risk registry to identify, track, and prioritize risk from day one, with a board-ready view you can show investors and enterprise customers.
Compliance Starter
Begin ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DPDP readiness early. Automated evidence and control mapping turn your first audit into a formality, not a fire drill.
Security debt is the most expensive kind
Teams that bolt security on right before an enterprise deal or a SOC 2 audit pay for it in stalled contracts, rushed consultants, and re-engineering. Starting on day one costs almost nothing and compounds in your favour.
Pass vendor security reviews
Answer enterprise security questionnaires with real controls and evidence, not promises.
Unblock enterprise deals
Security readiness stops being the thing that stalls your biggest contracts.
Avoid last-minute costs
No rushed consultants or re-engineering the week before a SOC 2 audit or a big deal.

Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The startup essentials (security policy pack, continuous attack surface management, risk registry, and compliance starter) are free for qualifying early-stage startups. No credit card required.
Who qualifies?
Early-stage startups, typically pre-seed to Series A, that build for or sell to enterprise customers and want to get security and compliance right from the start.
What is included versus the paid plans?
The free tier covers the policy pack, continuous attack surface management, the risk registry, and a compliance starter. Paid plans add deeper coverage such as VAPT, third-party risk management, vCISO support, full multi-framework compliance, and 24/7 monitoring.
What happens when we grow?
You move to a paid plan when you outgrow the free essentials. Your policies, risk data, and compliance evidence carry over, so nothing is lost.
Do we need a security team to use it?
No. The program is built to run without a dedicated security team, guided by NOVA AI, so founders and engineers can start securely from day one.
