About Harsh Kashiparekh

During my time working with Big 4 firms across New York and India, I saw a consistent pattern, high-growth startups failing audits they should have passed. Not because their security was weak, but because they lacked the right guidance to navigate frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA.For many founders, compliance wasn’t just a checkbox, it was the bottleneck between them and closing enterprise deals, expanding into new markets, or raising their next round.That gap is what led me to build Securis360.We operate as a strategic security and compliance partner to startups and growth-stage companies, helping them not just pass audits, but build scalable, enterprise-ready security programs. From SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA to HITRUST, we work alongside teams through the full journey, regardless of the external assessor.Our approach goes beyond documentation. We bring deep capabilities across application security, cloud security, penetration testing, and DevSecOps, ensuring security is embedded into how companies build and scale.What differentiates us is execution and access. Alongside a team built from leading consulting and tech firms, we’re supported by an advisory network that includes leaders from companies like LEGO, CrowdStrike, and Symantec, GRC experts who have contributed to SOC 2 control design, seasoned professionals from Big 4 firms, and founders with multiple successful exits.Today, we support clients across 25+ countries, including Norway, Finland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Australia, the US, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.I’m also a serial entrepreneur, which shapes how I think about speed, trade-offs, and what founders actually need from a security partner.For startups closing enterprise deals or raising capital, compliance isn’t a checkbox, it’s the barrier to growth. Done right, it becomes a lever.
