Founder story

Hi, I'm Victoria.

I came up through hands-on cybersecurity training: digital forensics, network analysis, cloud infrastructure and offensive security labs. Along the way I noticed something. The women-owned businesses around me were building real companies with real client data, and almost none of them had anyone helping with security.

They weren't careless. They were busy, and every option on the table was either a pricey IT retainer or advice full of jargon. So the basics slipped: shared passwords, ex-contractors who still had access, domains anyone could impersonate.

I started The Pink Proxy to be the security partner I wish every founder had: calm, clear, and on your side.

My focus is identity and access, the area where small teams carry the most risk and get the fastest wins. Every engagement is grounded in the same public frameworks that protect much larger organizations, sized to fit a team of three to ten.
