At Staffbase, security is at the heart of everything we build. Our Application Security and Privacy team helps keep our products and customer data safe while empowering engineering teams across the company.

As an enablement team, we provide tools, guidance, and insights that allow developers to integrate security early in the development process. We see security not as a blocker but as a trusted partner that enables better products.
