Investment Security Check - Free for GetProven VC partners
FREE

Before you wire the money, know what an attacker — or a future acquirer — would find about the company you're buying.

What's included

  • External security review of one investment target: dark web exposure, leaked credentials, exposed infrastructure, and obvious misconfigurations visible from outside the company
  • One-page diligence summary you can share with your IC or use as a discussion point with the founder
  • 30-minute debrief call to walk through what we found and what's material vs. cosmetic
  • Available with 5 working days' turnaround to fit deal timelines

Why Talanos

  • We do this assessment for VCs at the Series A through C stage — we know what's a deal-breaker and what's a fixable post-close item
  • No internal access required — the entire review uses only what's externally visible, so there's no awkward conversation with the founder pre-close
  • Senior consultant-led, with interpretation calibrated to what matters at the company's stage

Pricing

  • GetProven exclusive: Free check for one investment target per VC firm
  • Subsequent checks available at a fixed per-target rate for active investors

Portfolio Dark Web Sweep - Free for GetProven VC partners
FREE

See which of your portfolio companies have material credential, infrastructure, or data exposure on the dark web — across your entire book, in one report.

What's included

  • Dark web, paste site, and breach database scan across all named portfolio companies (up to 25 — additional companies by agreement)
  • Risk-ranked heatmap showing which portcos have material exposure and which are clean
  • One-page summary per flagged portco, written so you can share it directly with the founder
  • 45-minute call to walk through findings and discuss which companies to prioritise
  • Where you choose to introduce us to a flagged portco, the introductory remediation conversation with the founder is included

Why Talanos

  • Used by VCs and growth-stage companies across fintech, SaaS, and professional services
  • Senior analyst-led — interpretation that's actually useful, not a tool dump
  • Multiple threat intelligence sources combined for fuller coverage than any single feed
  • Discreet by default — findings go to you first, not the portco

Pricing

  • GetProven exclusive: Free sweep for the first 25 portfolio companies
  • Ongoing portfolio-wide monitoring available as a paid service for VCs who want continuous visibility

Basic Info

Talanos is a UK cyber security specialist that protects early-stage and scaling companies from the threats that can derail growth. These include compromised credentials, cloud vulnerabilities, and cyber incidents that founders aren't equipped to handle alone.

We work as an extension of your team - monitoring threats around the clock, responding to incidents quickly, and giving you the visibility you need to scale with confidence. No in-house security team required.

Our 24/7 Security Operations Centre guarantees 15 minute triage and 60 minute containment. When something goes wrong, it gets handled before it becomes a crisis.

Why work with us

  • Extensive experience working with growth-stage companies across FinTech, SaaS, banking, and more.
  • Highly rated on Gartner Peer Insights by customers who describe us as responsive, expert, and a genuine part of their team - not a faceless outsourced service.

What makes us different

  • Built for companies without large internal security teams
  • Guaranteed response times - not just best efforts
  • 24/7 coverage from a fully staffed UK Security Operations Centre (SOC)
  • Deep expertise in identity security, the root cause of most modern breaches
  • Straightforward reporting designed for founders and boards, not just IT teams
