Data, Security & Onboarding Foundation

Every Pursuit capability—whether it’s uncovering a hidden buying signal or mapping every decision-maker in an agency—is only as strong as the foundation it’s built on. That’s why our data, security, and onboarding infrastructure is designed to be secure, scalable, and fast from day one.

Security That’s Operational—Not Just a Checkbox

In public sector sales, security is non-negotiable. Pursuit undergoes continuous penetration testing by an independent security firm—assessments are frequent, unannounced, and cover both internal and external vectors. Every finding feeds into a real-time security scorecard monitored by our Security Team, ensuring no blind spots.

Data is protected with SSO enforcement, AES-256 encryption at rest, and automated secrets rotation so credentials never go stale. Our SOC 2 Type 2 controls are fully live and under third-party audit, with formal attestation on the way. The result: your agency’s data is protected by operational security—by design, not by default.

Frictionless Onboarding and Rapid Time-to-Value

We’ve eliminated the delays that hold back most enterprise tools. Pursuit’s new in-app onboarding flow takes users from their first login to their first surfaced opportunities in under five minutes—no drawn-out implementation, no months-long ramp-up.

Whether you’re rolling out to a small sales pod or a large enterprise SLED team, you can be fully operational within hours, not weeks. That speed means pipeline starts building sooner, and teams start seeing ROI faster.

CRM Account Matching That Works the First Time

Clean account data is the backbone of any go-to-market motion—but most CRMs are riddled with duplicates, missing fields, and inconsistencies. Pursuit solves this with a blend of deterministic logic, advanced AI models, and human verification to match your CRM accounts with those in Pursuit’s database—accurately, every time.

This matching process is included in every onboarding and typically completed within 24 hours of kickoff. The outcome:

  • Sales teams work from clean, deduplicated account lists
  • Every Pursuit insight is routed to the right place instantly
  • GTM leaders can trust the accuracy of every territory map, pipeline report, and dashboard from day one
