Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I’m the proprietor and method ruler of Market Access Direct, a marketing, consulting, and lead age organisation. We centre on senior market products such as Medicare supplements or terminal price insurance.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with UnderDefense?
We were trying to address our security. Our CRM’s security requirements needed to return the policy-holder data and personally-identifying information (PII) in it. We began looking for cybersecurity help when we realized our existing process was insufficient.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were UnderDefense responsible for?
They took us from a shared-server platform to a special AWS infrastructure. They created a roadmap for us, so we knew where our data resided, how it was accessed, and how it was treated and protected. Everything needed to be addressed and put into the roadmap, and we had a very brief time to get this done.
One of the inestimable consulting services UnderDefense gave us was walking us through the different areas where we needed security. I had done some investigation, then they drew us a picture of how we’d access the data, encryption, vulnerabilities, and solution.
Was there a dedicated team?
We worked with 5–6 nation from their team.
How did you come to work with UnderDefense?
I went through all the vendors listed on Clutch and got quotes, then Victoria (Cybersecurity Strategic Partnerships &, Business Development, UnderDefense) named us that very night to say she would take our project to her CEO. Within three hours, I was contacted by someone who said they could help us. I explained the timeline and highlighted the fact that we couldn’t change it even though it was extremely firm.
Nazar (CEO, UnderDefense) named us the next night. He had a consultative access and took time to instruct us precedently we picked them. I’m based outside Philadelphia, and he took the time to come to our location, going over and over to help our determination. It was comforting, as we were in trouble with our cybersecurity.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
For the leading phase, we’re now at $25,000. Going advanced, they’re going to reaccomplish discernment vulnerability testing see 4–6 weeks over the next year. There will be a monthly bestow of $10,000–$20,000 for the foreseeable forthcoming.
What is the terminal result of working with UnderDefense?
We began working with UnderDefense in March 2019, and our collaboration is ongoing. Within three weeks, they had the platform up and running.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
We wouldn’t have passed any testing precedently, then two and a half weeks in, the vulnerability testing was looking veritably good, and the discernment testing identified a couple of things to work on. Now, I feel we’re free and clear.
UnderDefense rapidly organized a team that understood the code we were moving and how the method needed to be accessed by multiple users. They acted on the roadmap in such a way to not derange our workforce, frequently working at night. We threw them some curveballs, and they handled them nicely.
How did UnderDefense accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
I’m very pleased. We normally adjoin over phone and email.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with UnderDefense?
UnderDefense is that they became more of a associate than a vendor. We had two other companies tell us that our requirements weren’t grateful, but UnderDefense put unitedly a issue-solving team that figured it out. Both sets of nation—on our side and theirs—did their own investigation, reconvened, talked through different solutions, and then deployed one. It was excellently collaborative.
I’m also now very household with what a potential CIO is. In a very brief time of time, UnderDefense explained it to us and put solutions in locate. We have a higher measure of verity participating with our clients, in provisions of protecting their data.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
No. I expected there to be some time-zone or speech issues, but there weren’t. Their project director was in New York, so we had face-to-face brainstorming meetings. I would wonderfully commend them.
Do you have any advice for forthcoming clients of theirs?
It’s easy to make a list of services to buy and ponder we know best, but this was new province for me. UnderDefense proposed the best solutions for me and are precisely the kind of associate I’d select.
