Our Services

Across the full lifecycle of a security program, from executive decision making to day-to-day operations and independent validation, Cyfenders provides focused support. Services are organized into three primary domains, with training available as a supporting capability.

Leadership and Advisory

Senior security leadership when decisions carry real business impact.

Cyfenders works with executive teams to clarify cybersecurity risk, set priorities, and guide decisions that affect the organization as a whole. This support is designed for organizations that need experienced security leadership, but do not require or cannot justify a full-time CISO.

Advisory and vCISO engagements focused on executive decision making and security direction.

How leadership engagements work

Operational Security Services

Hands-on support that keeps important security work moving forward.

Operational Security Services focus on execution. Cyfenders helps ensure responsibilities are owned, tracked, and followed through, which is especially valuable for lean teams, growing environments, and organizations that rely on MSPs or vendors.

Ongoing, collaborative support to ensure security work is completed and operational risk does not quietly accumulate.

Security Testing and Assurance

Independent insight into how your environment holds up under real-world conditions.

Cyfenders provides objective testing and assurance to help organizations understand exposure, validate control effectiveness, and identify meaningful attack paths. These engagements are used to challenge assumptions, support leadership decisions, and provide credible evidence when assurance is required.

Independent, fixed-scope testing and attack simulation engagements that validate real-world risk.

Training and Awareness

Targeted training that reinforces the work already underway, delivered as a complement to leadership, operational, or assurance engagements.

Testing and Assurance

Testing security where business disruption actually occurs

Independent testing designed to challenge assumptions and validate how security decisions and controls hold up when conditions are chaotic, constrained, and consequential.

Attack Simulations

Business disruption scenarios that test coordination, decision-making, and resilience.

Simulated attack and disruption exercises designed to reveal how failures cascade across people, processes, and technology, and how organizations respond under real pressure.

Used to validate readiness and identify the decisions and dependencies that determine impact.

Penetration Testing

Defensible testing that focuses on exploitability, impact, and prioritization.

Targeted testing to determine whether weaknesses are actually exploitable in your environment, and whether they translate into material business risk, not just technical findings.

Designed to support decisions with credible evidence, not commodity output.

Resources
