Born from Real-World Frustration
I still remember the moment everything clicked. I was sitting in a client meeting in early 2019, watching a business owner's face drain of color as we explained how vulnerable their systems really were. They'd been paying for "security solutions" for years, but nobody had actually looked at their real risks.
That's when Rajesh and I decided we couldn't keep working for companies that treated security like a checkbox exercise. We wanted to build something different - a firm that actually cared about protecting real businesses, not just selling expensive software they didn't need.
"We started Ideya Berst with one simple promise: we'd never recommend a solution we wouldn't implement for our own business. That principle still guides every audit we conduct today."
Our first office was actually Rajesh's spare bedroom. We had one laptop between us and a shared dream of changing how businesses think about IT security. Those early days taught us that genuine expertise matters more than fancy presentations - clients could tell we actually understood their challenges.
