As the transition to a circular economy (CE) accelerates in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainable startups have emerged as pivotal actors through their agile structures and digital innovations. By leveraging digital tools, online sharing platforms, and data-driven business models to optimize resource loops and unlock hidden economic value, these ventures rely heavily on technological integration. However, this digital dependency exposes startups to significant infrastructural risks and cybersecurity threats, jeopardizing both business continuity and the reliability of circular value chains. This study uncovers these "unseen" cybersecurity barriers and technological challenges that remain underexplored in current literature, providing a critical foundation for enhancing the cyber resilience strategies of sustainable startups.
