AI & automation for startups
Leverage AI-driven insights and automation to accelerate growth while keeping your operational costs low. We can guide you in deploying AI-powered analytics, customer support, and cybersecurity solutions that keep your teams productive and make for fast decision-making. Get all the power without a massive in-house team.

Cloud-native infrastructure & security
You need cybersecurity that protects your innovation while allowing you to grow. We design secure, cost-efficient AWS, Azure, and other cloud environments that support rapid product development while protecting customer data. We make sure security is built into your infrastructure from day one.

Secure AI & data protection
Startups handling sensitive customer data must be proactive on data security. Safeguard your customer relationships and brand reputation by implementing data privacy best practices, encryption, and AI security frameworks to ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and evolving AI governance regulations.

Identity, access & API security
As your company continues to grow, so do security risks related to user authentication and API exposure. We can deploy passwordless authentication, multi-factor security, and API protection strategies. The user experience will feel seamless, and the data safe.

Startup cybersecurity & risk management
Many startups and small businesses lean on DFND for our fractional CISO and advisory services, security architecture design, and incident response planning. At the early stage, we can guide you and your teams in building security programs that work for the stage you’re at, while still allowing room for expansion.

Web3, blockchain & decentralized security
Pioneering technologies can be overwhelming – and finding the talent and expertise to pull it off, even more so. For startups pushing the boundaries of Web3, blockchain, and decentralized identity, we can guide you every step of the way, from advising to hands-on support.
