Starting a startup comes with many challenges. In addition to financial and organizational challenges, there are also many legal issues to consider: What type of business structure should I choose? How do I protect my business idea? How do I handle sensitive customer data in a way that complies with data protection regulations?

Our expert Sarah Stummer has therefore prepared a white paper for cybersecurity founders titled "Compliance: An Overview of Key Legal Regulations for Cybersecurity Startups." She addresses key legal requirements during the startup phase of cybersecurity companies and discusses relevant compliance issues, ranging from tax regulations to legal questions in marketing and sales, as well as competitive conduct. The topics mentioned in the white paper are clearly summarized in a short checklist. 

The white paper was developed as part of the activities of Startup Secure | ATHENE. Just like the checklist, it is available for free download to anyone interested.
