Threat Feeds & Signal
Jicho pulls from curated intelligence sources — cyber advisories, vulnerability bulletins, and relevant sector alerts — filtering the noise into actionable signal for your environment.
Cybersecurity & Digital Defense
Implied Defense helps you understand your digital risk, harden your environment, and prepare for incidents — powered by Jicho, our threat and situational awareness engine.
Clarity Before the Crisis
Most organizations don’t need more fear — they need a clear picture of their digital exposure and a practical roadmap to reduce it. Our cybersecurity work focuses on visibility, prioritization, and action.
We combine structured assessments with intelligence from Jicho to surface relevant threats, highlight weaknesses, and recommend improvements that align with your size, mission, and resources.
Jicho — Intelligence Behind the Defense
Jicho is our internal threat and situational awareness engine, designed to keep eyes on the unseen across cyber, physical, and environmental domains.
Context for Your Reality
Instead of generic “high/medium/low” noise, Jicho is used to map threats against your actual systems, locations, and operations so decisions are grounded in context.
From Awareness to Action
Intelligence is only useful if it changes behavior. Outputs from Jicho feed your assessments, hardening roadmap, and incident playbooks so you know what to do next.
Core Cybersecurity Services
A focused set of offerings to reduce risk, improve visibility, and prepare your team for when—not if—an incident happens.
Cyber Risk & Posture Assessment
Review of your environment, critical systems, controls, and vulnerabilities using a structured lens informed by Jicho’s threat view.
Output: a clear risk picture, prioritized recommendations, and a roadmap that fits your reality.
Hardening & Configuration Support
Practical guidance and implementation support for tightening configurations, strengthening access, and reducing attack surface.
Focused on quick wins first, then deeper improvements as capacity allows.
Incident Readiness & Playbooks
Development of simple, usable response playbooks tailored to your team and tools — not generic binderware that no one reads.
Includes escalation paths, roles, and decision points informed by likely threats.
Ongoing Advisory & Threat Monitoring
Lightweight advisory support using Jicho’s evolving threat view to keep you informed about relevant vulnerabilities, changes, and risk trends.
Ideal for organizations that need a security partner, not a full-time security team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our cybersecurity services, process, and investment.
How long does a cybersecurity assessment take?
A typical assessment takes 2-4 hours on-site (or remote) for the initial evaluation, followed by 1-2 weeks for detailed analysis, threat mapping, and report generation. Rush assessments can be accommodated in urgent situations.
The timeline depends on your environment's complexity:
- Small business (5-20 employees): 1-2 weeks total
- Mid-size organization (20-100 employees): 2-3 weeks total
- Enterprise or complex systems: 3-4 weeks total
What's the typical investment for cybersecurity services?
Our pricing is transparent and based on scope:
Pricing Framework
- Initial consultation: $500 (applied to assessment if you proceed)
- Small business assessment: $2,500 - $5,000
- Mid-size organization assessment: $5,000 - $10,000
- Enterprise or specialized assessment: Custom quote
- Ongoing retainer (monthly): $1,500 - $5,000+ depending on scope
Every engagement starts with a consultation to understand your needs and provide an accurate quote. No hidden fees or surprises.
Do you work with small organizations or just enterprises?
We work with organizations of all sizes—from individual consultants and small businesses to regional enterprises. Our approach scales to your context, focusing on practical, proportional security measures rather than one-size-fits-all frameworks.
Small businesses often face the same threats as large organizations but with fewer resources. We tailor our recommendations to what you can realistically implement and maintain.
What makes your approach different from other cybersecurity firms?
We focus on practical, threat-informed security rather than checkbox compliance. Powered by Jicho, our threat awareness engine, we filter noise and focus on risks that actually matter to your environment.
Our philosophy:
- Speak plainly, avoid fear tactics and jargon
- Focus on threats relevant to your specific situation
- Provide actionable guidance you can implement immediately
- Build capability before crisis—not panic during one
- No vendor kickbacks or product pushin g—we recommend what actually works
What is Jicho and how does it help?
Jicho is our threat and situational awareness engine that aggregates and filters threat intelligence from multiple sources. It helps us identify relevant threats to your specific environment, cutting through the noise to focus on what actually matters.
Think of it as intelligence gathering that informs every recommendation we make. Instead of generic advice, you get guidance based on current, relevant threats to your industry, geography, and technology stack.
Do you provide ongoing support or just one-time assessments?
Both. We offer one-time assessments for organizations that need a security snapshot, as well as ongoing retainers for continuous monitoring, threat intelligence updates, incident response support, and regular security reviews.
Ongoing retainer services typically include:
- Monthly threat intelligence briefings
- Quarterly security reviews and vulnerability scans
- Priority incident response support
- Security roadmap updates as threats evolve
- Staff training and security awareness coaching
We'll recommend what makes sense for your situation—no pressure to commit to ongoing services if you don't need them.
What happens during the first consultation?
The first consultation is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We'll discuss your current environment, known concerns, compliance requirements (if any), and what keeps you up at night.
From there, we'll outline a practical assessment approach and provide a clear scope, timeline, and investment estimate. No obligation—just clarity on what you need and what it will take to get there.
The consultation typically lasts 30-60 minutes and can be done remotely or in person. The $500 fee is applied to your assessment if you decide to proceed.
Do you handle compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)?
Yes. While our primary focus is practical security, we understand that many organizations have compliance obligations. We can help you understand requirements, implement necessary controls, and prepare for audits.
We work with HIPAA (healthcare), PCI-DSS (payment cards), SOC 2, CMMC (defense contractors), and other frameworks. Our approach: meet compliance requirements while building actual security capability, not just checking boxes.
