Governance Meets Continuous Protection

Defense.com partners with GRC Solutions to bring unified threat detection and response to more organizations

Defense.com today announced a strategic partnership with GRC Solutions, combining Defense.com's unified threat detection and response (TDR) platform and 24/7 UK Security Operations Center (SOC) with GRC Solutions' governance, risk management, compliance and technical assurance expertise.

Through the partnership, GRC Solutions customers can move from understanding cyber risk and demonstrating control to continuously protecting identities, detecting attacks across endpoints and the wider estate, and accessing expert response, all through one integrated platform.

As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, many continue to struggle with disconnected security tools, multiple suppliers, growing alert volumes and limited in-house expertise. The partnership aims to simplify cybersecurity management while improving visibility, control and response capabilities.

Connecting Governance and Compliance with Continuous Protection

GRC Solutions helps organizations protect data, prove control and build resilience through governance, compliance and technical assurance. Defense.com adds the continuous operational security layer: monitoring exposure, protecting identities, detecting active threats and supporting response when an incident occurs.

Together, the two organizations give customers a joined-up route from identifying weaknesses and preparing for Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, the GDPR and the PCI DSS to detecting and responding to real threats. The partnership is designed for organizations that need stronger protection but want to avoid multiple suppliers, disconnected tools and a heavy in-house security operations burden.

One TDR Platform, Three Cumulative Tiers

Defense.com brings its security capabilities together under one TDR umbrella. Protection builds across three tiers, Protect, Detect and Respond, each adding further defenses while retaining the same shared foundation.

• Protect: Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). Secures email and user accounts against phishing, business email compromise, account takeover and credential theft.
• Detect: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) plus Extended Detection and Response (XDR). Adds endpoint and whole-estate threat detection, correlating signals across email, identity, endpoints and network, with SIEM and automated response.
• Respond: Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Adds a fully managed 24/7 UK SOC, proactive threat hunting and incident response.

This cumulative structure allows organizations to choose the level of detection and response they need today and add coverage as their requirements grow without moving to a different platform.

Across all three tiers, customers receive the same core platform foundation: unified visibility and AI-driven insight, Watchtower threat intelligence, continuous exposure management, guided compliance support, training, automation and integrations. Protect, Detect and Respond differ only in the depth of detection and managed response they provide.

Tim Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer at Defense.com, said:

"Businesses are targeted across identity, endpoint and their wider estate, often faster than a small team can respond. Our platform brings all of that into one place, from identity and email protection through to a fully managed response from our UK security operations center, and partners like GRC Solutions put it within reach of the organizations that need it most. We are proud to be working with them." Tim Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer at Defense.com

Conor Hogan, Go To Market Director at GRC Solutions, said:
