Defense Builder
Build your security posture. No excuses.
Cybersecurity assessment and roadmap tool for mid-sized businesses. Evaluate your security maturity level, identify critical gaps and generate a prioritised, executable action plan — without needing a full-time CISO.
What Defense Builder does
NIST/ISO 27001-based assessment
Structured evaluation of security maturity using the most internationally recognised frameworks: NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO/IEC 27001. The assessment covers critical domains — identity management, data protection, network security, incident management and continuity — with questions calibrated for mid-sized companies without a dedicated security department.
Automatic roadmap generation
From the assessment, Defense Builder automatically generates a security roadmap prioritised by criticality and effort. Each initiative includes a description of the risk it mitigates, estimated effort level, approximate implementation cost and dependencies with other initiatives. The result is an executable plan, not an audit report that nobody knows how to translate into actions.
Executive reporting for CISO and management
Two differentiated views of the same security status: the technical view for the IT team or CISO, with detail on controls, gaps and recommended configurations; and the executive view for management, with risk level in business terms, roadmap progress and maturity indicators compared to sector benchmarks.
Security as a process, not an event
Most mid-sized companies approach cybersecurity reactively: they act after an incident or when a customer or regulator requires it. That approach is the most expensive possible — the average cost of a security incident for a company with between 50 and 500 employees in Europe exceeds €200,000 when recovery, business loss, reputational damage and legal costs are added together.
Defense Builder changes that dynamic. Instead of a one-off security project with an external consultant every two years, it provides a continuous system of evaluation, prioritisation and tracking that allows the organisation to improve its security posture incrementally and sustainably.
The product is designed specifically for companies that do not have a dedicated security team: the assessment is self-guided, the language is understandable without specialised technical training, and the resulting roadmap is designed to be executed by the existing IT team or with occasional external support.
