Where to start
Most clients come to us at one of four moments.
If one of these sounds familiar, you're in the right place. Each one has a clear first step.
A major customer sent us a security questionnaire, and the contract depends on it.

Security audit & ISO 27001 roadmap
We had a near miss. A fake invoice almost got paid.
Usually starts with
Rapid security assessment
We're growing and someone needs to own security, but a full-time CISO isn't realistic.

Services
Ten services. One senior team.
Grouped by the problem they solve. Most clients use two or three, in the order that reduces risk fastest.
AI security
AI Security
Find and close the data leaks AI creates: prompts, plugins, connectors and tools staff signed up for on their own.
AI Tool Security
Roll out ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini with the right settings, so they don't learn from your business data.
AI SecOps
Use AI to sort alerts and automate routine security work, with a person still making the calls.
Leadership & governance
vCISO
Senior security leadership on retainer, without a full-time executive salary.
Policy & Governance
Policies your people can actually follow, including an AI acceptable use policy.

From gap analysis to certification audit, sized for a small team.

Cloud Security
Hardening for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS and Azure.

We fix it alongside your team, then stay on to monitor, report and adjust.
Typical timeline for a business of 5–50 people. Larger scopes are planned with you.
How we work
Practitioner-led. Built for your size.
Senior on every engagement
The person on the scoping call is the person doing the work. You're never handed to a junior analyst with a template.
Plain English, every time
You get decisions you can act on. Not a 200-page report that sits in a drawer.
We use AI every day
We advise on AI tools because we run them ourselves. That's how we spot the risks others miss.
Sized to fit
Retainer, fixed project or on demand. Security designed for a business your size, not copied from a bank's.

About Breachdefend
Led by a practitioner, not a sales team.
Breachdefend is led by a former enterprise CISO with more than 25 years in cybersecurity, across Australia, Asia and global consulting firms. That work spans government, operational technology and organisations of up to 50,000 people, in every major industry.
We started Breachdefend to bring that level of thinking to businesses that can't justify a full-time security executive, and to help them adopt AI without giving their data away.
