However, Nordic Defender offers a transformative solution by providing a centralized platform for offensive, defensive, and infosec solutions. When choosing Nordic Defender, SMEs undergo a single, comprehensive gap assessment that covers the entire spectrum of their cybersecurity needs. This eliminates the need for repetitive assessments with each new security measure, streamlining the implementation process and providing businesses with a consolidated understanding of their security landscape.

Navigating Compliance with Confidence: Nordic Defender’s All-In-One Security Platform for SMEs
Navigating compliance-related security services can be a daunting task, especially for growing SMEs. The intricacies of industry standards demand the implementation of numerous security controls. Regulatory compliance often requires companies to maintain extensive system logs, conduct security penetration tests on their applications, maintain secure SDLC, safeguard cloud and network infrastructures, and engage in awareness programs to elevate staff knowledge of secure practices. At Nordic Defender, we understand the complexity of these requirements, and we offer a comprehensive solution. From covering the implementation of essential security controls to providing budget-friendly virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services and audit support tailored for SMEs, we ensure a real and efficient compliance experience for businesses on the path of growth.
Case Study: Budget Efficacy at its Finest!
A finance sector client with two applications and an extensive network infrastructure sought our expertise for penetration testing. After successfully conducting penetration testing programs for their applications, the client expressed the need for a similar assessment for their network systems.
We proposed our Intelligent Scanning solution as it works more efficiently in network environments, a suggestion that was promptly accepted. Utilizing a portion of the allocated budget for the network’s penetration test, we implemented Intelligent Scanning, yielding outstanding results. This strategic decision not only enabled them to reallocate funds but also led to substantial savings, allowing the initiation of an additional 80-hour penetration test for another application.
What sets this apart is that all these seamless transitions and optimizations occurred within the NorDef platform, without the need for any amendments to agreements, contracts, or additional paperwork. This efficiency is a testament to the centralized nature of Nordic Defender, simplifying processes for our clients.
