IT and security, run by one team

Your Clients Trust You With Their Information. We Help You Keep It That Way.

Defendrs looks after the technology your business runs on and guards it against the people trying to get in, so a bad day stays a bad day and never becomes the end of the company.

A 30-minute call. Straight answers. A short list of what to do next.

Where the trouble starts

The gap that gets you is usually the one that was no one's job.

Your staff look after their own logins. Each vendor looks after its own product. Nobody is paid to look at how all of it fits together, and attackers know to check the joins before anything else. Choose your industry to see where those joins tend to be.

How long could you operate with no revenue coming in?

A serious ransomware incident or a single redirected payment can cost a business your size about three months of income. Defendrs sets up the safeguards that keep you open, billing, and collecting while others are still recovering.

What We Do

White dots joined by fine lines into a web against black.

Managed Technology

We become your IT department. That covers computers, user accounts, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, backups, and the checklists for people joining and leaving, plus a US-based help desk your team can call. Well-kept systems also give an attacker much less to work with.

Managed Cybersecurity

Someone is always watching. Our Security Operations Center keeps an eye on logins, email, and devices at all hours, retains your logs, safeguards your backups, and acts when something is off. Keep your current IT provider or use us for both. It works either way.

Three steps, in order of what matters.

01

Take inventory

First we map where your data lives, who can sign in, which devices touch it, and which outside companies have a way in. Some of what turns up will be unwelcome. Better to learn it in a meeting than from an attacker.

02

Work the list from the top

Each finding is scored by the damage it could do to the business, and the worst get fixed first. You always know what we are working on, why it outranked the rest, and what is next in line.

03

Keep it from drifting

People are hired and leave. Software updates. Settings get changed and forgotten. Protection that is set up once and left alone decays, so we check, adjust, and document your environment on a fixed schedule.

Picture every computer locked and the operating account drained. Whose number do you have?

If no name comes to mind, or the name that does makes you uneasy, that is worth fixing before you need it.

Our approach

Real security, in plain language.

Most owners learn how exposed they were on the day it costs them. We think you should know sooner. Defendrs builds the protections that insurers, major customers, and contracts now ask for. And when something you already own does the job, we will tell you to keep it.

About Defendrs

What we hold to

Match the protection to the stakes. Safeguards should be designed around your own data and the way your business runs day to day. A standard package issued to everyone fits no one well.

A policy should describe what is real. A written policy helps only when the safeguard it describes exists and people follow it.

One team for IT and security. Split the two between vendors and the handoffs between them become the weakest part of your setup.

Outcomes before documents. We are done when you know which problem to fix first and what comes after it.

Takes about 3 minutes

Find out where you stand.

Choose your industry, then answer up to eight questions about sign-ins, laptops, vendors, and how you would recover from a loss. Nothing technical is required and we will never ask for a password. At the end you get a score and a short list of what deserves attention first.

Take the Risk Assessment
Sample assessment result for a CPA firm: a score of 3 out of 8 on client-data protection, with notes about breach and regulatory penalty risk.
MFA on the client portal
Multifactor authentication is an IRS requirement for access to PII stored on the cloud.
Restore test for backups
A backup nobody has restored from is an assumption.
Protecting firm email
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set so that no one else can send mail as you.
