Gorilla is a product bootstrapped the FULL SEND Security, a venture studio operated by Christian, Tobias and Mykola. Founded in early 2024, FSS is on a mission to solve real-world cybersecurity problems faced by modern businesses.
Christian happens to be the founder of CISOIQ, an elite cybersecurity consultancy that designs and runs security programs for tech-driven businesses. With over 10 years of experience, he has seen firsthand the challenges businesses face in protecting their technology stack and ultimately their enterprise value.
Gorilla is a niche solution designed to tackle a critical piece of the cybersecurity puzzle - ensuring the end-to-end security of secrets.
We believe a company’s security depends heavily on how it handles its secrets — passwords, certificates, API keys, secure notes, and everything in between. And we see in practice that many teams still do too little here.
Fortunately, more and more companies invest in 1Password — and we genuinely think it’s the best password manager out there. But secure storage alone isn’t the whole story. What really matters is the entire lifecycle of a secret: who creates it, what it’s used for, who has access, how it’s shared, and when it’s rotated or retired.
And despite the idealistic view that secrets shouldn’t be shared, the reality is that they are — constantly. Teams collaborate, responsibilities shift, access changes, people join and leave. The lifecycle is dynamic, not static.
That’s why we felt 1Password needed a companion app focused specifically on these operational challenges. A tool that brings transparency to secret usage, surfaces access drift, and makes rotations practical instead of painful.
Gorilla was built from that belief. We’re convinced the ecosystem needs a solution that looks beyond storage and helps companies manage the real-world lifecycle of their secrets.
