Cybersecurity in San Francisco

Security built for how San Francisco does business

San Francisco builds software, and increasingly AI. Startups in SoMa and the Mission, AI labs and model companies, fintechs in the Financial District, and biotech companies in Mission Bay and South San Francisco all run almost entirely in the cloud, with small teams holding admin access to large amounts of customer data. Speed is the culture, and security often catches up later, usually when the first enterprise customer sends a security questionnaire.

Attackers target that gap. They go after developer credentials, exposed API keys and over-privileged cloud accounts, and they increasingly probe AI features for ways to leak data. StrikeProof helps San Francisco companies close the gap without slowing down: cloud and application penetration testing, 24/7 monitoring of identity and cloud activity, and SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness that turns good engineering into evidence buyers will accept.

SaaS and enterprise software

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness, cloud and application penetration testing, and fast answers to customer questionnaires.

AI companies

Testing of AI features for prompt injection and data leakage, protection for model and training data, and ISO 42001 readiness.

Fintech and crypto

PCI DSS readiness, API and application testing, and 24/7 monitoring for account takeover and fraud.

Biotech and life sciences

Protection for research and patient data, secure collaboration with partners, and HIPAA safeguards where they apply.

The local threat landscape

What San Francisco businesses are up against

Attackers go where the money and the data are. In the Bay Area, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.

Developer and CI/CD compromise

Stolen developer tokens, malicious packages and leaked secrets in code repositories let attackers reach production, or push code to customers, without touching a laptop.

Attacks on AI applications

Prompt injection, insecure tool access and over-shared training or retrieval data can make AI features leak customer information or take actions they shouldn’t.

SaaS identity takeover

Single sign-on, OAuth tokens and session cookies are now the keys to the business. Attackers who steal them can move through dozens of SaaS apps in minutes.

CCPA

Breach and privacy law in California

California treats “reasonable security” as something consumers can sue over

The California Consumer Privacy Act lets consumers sue for statutory damages, without proving financial loss, when certain personal information is breached because a business failed to maintain reasonable security, and the California Privacy Protection Agency enforces the law’s broader privacy duties. Under regulations finalized in 2025, larger businesses whose processing presents significant risk must also complete annual independent cybersecurity audits, phased in over the coming years. Breach notices to residents are due within 30 days of discovery, and the Attorney General gets a sample notice when more than 500 Californians are affected.

San Francisco FAQ

Cybersecurity in San Francisco: common questions

Can you penetration test the AI features in our product?

Yes. We test AI features the way an attacker would, trying prompt injection, jailbreaks, abuse of connected tools and attempts to pull other customers’ data, alongside the usual application and API testing. You get findings your engineers can act on and a retest after fixes.

Should we do SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

It depends on who you sell to. US enterprise buyers usually ask for SOC 2, while international customers often prefer ISO 27001. Many controls overlap, so we can prepare you for one and set you up to add the other later. Both are issued by independent auditors or certification bodies, not by us.

We think we’ve been breached. How fast can you help a San Francisco business?

Call our 24/7 incident response line at +1 (253) 448-3030. We’re remote-first, so we begin containment and forensics over secure remote access within minutes of your call, with no waiting for someone to drive to your office.

Do you offer penetration testing for San Francisco companies?

Yes. We test external and internal networks, web applications, cloud environments and your people (phishing), and deliver a prioritized report your team can act on, followed by a retest once fixes are in.

Does it matter that StrikeProof isn’t based in San Francisco?

Not for the work we do. Monitoring, testing, compliance and incident response are all delivered over secure remote connections, so a business in the Bay Area gets the same team, the same speed and the same price as one next door to our Tacoma headquarters.
