Defensiq

Defensiq is a cloud-based Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform designed to help organizations manage security risk, compliance, and governance workflows. The platform targets security teams, compliance officers, and IT managers, particularly at small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and scaling organizations that lack large dedicated security teams. Core capabilities of the platform include: - Risk Management: A digital risk register with heat maps and control mappings, replacing manual spreadsheets. - Compliance Tracking: Automated gap analysis for frameworks including ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and E-ITS. - Policy Management: Version control, approval workflows, and audit trails for organizational security policies. - Security KPIs: Executive dashboards and real-time security metrics reporting. - Incident Response: Built-in playbooks, root cause analysis, and incident tracking tools. - Team Collaboration: Role-based access controls and task assignment features. Defensiq offers four pricing tiers — Starter (free), Professional, Business, and Enterprise — with the paid tiers billed monthly or annually. The platform is marketed as accessible without a dedicated CISO or large security team. Data is hosted in the EU (Stockholm, Sweden), and the platform is described as GDPR-native with built-in support for NIS2 and European compliance requirements. The company reports over 500 organizations using the platform.
