Security tool deals for startups

Security spend arrives earlier than most founders expect, usually the day a real customer asks for SOC 2 or a security questionnaire. The vendors know it: compliance platforms like Vanta and Drata discount their startup tiers (Drata takes 25% off a first contract), and Cloudflare offers product credits across Workers, R2, and Pages.

The category also covers the auth providers (Auth0, Clerk, WorkOS), code and cloud scanning (Snyk, Wiz), and team basics like 1Password. Each listing shows the offer and the exact eligibility.

Common questions.

Straight answers. For the full picture, read the FAQ.

Start with the automation platforms’ startup offers: Drata discounts a first contract by 25%, and Vanta runs a startup program of its own. The tooling then watches your controls continuously. Budget separately for the audit itself, which the platforms streamline but do not replace.

Beyond compliance automation, the catalog tracks startup offers from Cloudflare (credits on Workers, R2, and Pages), code scanning from Snyk, cloud security from Wiz and Orca, and password management from 1Password. Auth providers run their own tiers, covered in the next question.

Auth0 runs a startup tier, and so do Clerk and WorkOS, so early teams rarely need to pay full price for authentication. The offers differ in length and what plan they cover, so compare the three listings against your user model before wiring one in.
