Defendify

Defendify develops a software-as-a-service cybersecurity platform that consolidates multiple security functions into a single interface, marketed as an "All-In-One Cybersecurity" approach. The product is organized into three layers: detection and response (24/7/365 managed detection and response, incident response plans, threat alerts); policies and training (phishing simulations, awareness training videos and graphics, technology acceptable use policy); and assessments and testing (cybersecurity assessments, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, compromised password and website scanning). The company describes 13 tools available through the platform, along with a cybersecurity dashboard, automated scheduling and delivery, active scanning and monitoring, and guided onboarding with dedicated success managers [0][3].

The platform is positioned for organizations that have IT resources but lack enterprise-level security teams and budgets, with pricing intended to scale as security needs grow. Defendify emphasizes continuous improvement over one-time projects, and reduces the vendor, contract, and configuration overhead associated with assembling multiple point solutions. Additional platform capabilities include email and collaboration threat defense delivered through the managed detection and response module, covering anti-phishing, anti-malware, URL reputation and inspection, compromised account detection, and data loss prevention [2][3].

Defendify states it is SOC 2 compliant, operates a trust center, and applies layered internal controls including TLS/SSL-encrypted application and API access, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, employee and vendor screening, third-party penetration testing, and a defined incident response process. The company also offers a Cybersecurity Service Warranty backed by $1,000,000 in financial assistance in the event of a cyber incident [0][5].

Founding story

Defendify was co-founded by Rob Simopoulos and Andrew Rinaldi, both long-tenured security and business operators, to address the gap faced by organizations that lack enterprise-level security teams and stacks. The company states it built an all-in-one platform specifically to remove the vendor sprawl, lengthy onboarding, and administrative burden that typically accompany assembling a security program [0][4].

Business model

Defendify sells cybersecurity software as a service, delivering multiple security modules through a single subscription platform rather than as separate point products. The pricing model is described as scaling with the customer's growing security needs, and the company positions itself as enterprise-grade without enterprise pricing. Customers can start with a free trial, an interactive demo, or a scheduled live demo [0][3].

Subscription-based cybersecurity software-as-a-service, with a tiered/scaling pricing model tied to the customer's security needs and platform modules used [0][3].

Traction

Defendify reports having helped more than 3,500 IT teams. Following its 2019 seed round the company said it had added thousands of users and doubled its employee count over the prior 18 months; by its 2022 round it reported adding thousands of customers, reaching over 60 countries, and again doubling team size. It has been named to the Inc. 5000 for three consecutive years as of August 2026, and earned 61 G2 badges in Fall 2023 [0][4][6][7].

Latest developments

In August 2026, Defendify announced its third consecutive placement on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, and announced participation as a founding provider of the Water Watch Center, an initiative launched by the National Rural Water Association and DEF CON Franklin to counter nation-state cyberattacks against water utilities, through which Defendify will deliver 24/7 protection. The company also publishes a security page stating SOC 2 compliance and operates a public trust center [4][5].
