Episode notes

What if your first security hire wasn’t a person, but a simple, guided program that made sense to everyone in your company? In this conversation, Sidekick founder and CEO Phil Howie breaks down how SMBs can build a security and privacy practice from the ground up—long before they can afford a full internal team. We cover the reality of compliance vs real security, working with MSPs, the role of design in security tools, and how founders should think about AI, governance, and future regulation. If you’re a founder trying to grow in regulated markets, this one’s for you.

Hosted by Jon McLachlan and Sasha Sinkevich — co-founders of YSecurity.
