At five people, culture is just “how we do things here.” Make secure the easy path.
Make the path of least resistance secure
- Company password manager from day one of onboarding
- MFA required before systems access is granted
- Shared docs with clear naming: Public / Internal / Confidential
- A Slack channel for “is this email weird?” questions
Lead by example
If the founder shares passwords in chat, nobody else will behave. Model the habits you want.
Keep it short
A 20-minute monthly review—access list, external shares, pending updates—beats an unread 40-page policy.
Security culture is how Blackwall Security thinks about the craft: small, repeatable habits that protect the company you’re building.
