About the Company

Kudu Trace bridges the gap between technical tools and executive strategy, replacing fragmented controls with structure and resilience through CISM-based governance. We ensure technical tools are integrated into a broader governance plan rather than acting as isolated solutions, providing a coherent security lifecycle.

Our 5-Stage Path to Cyber Resilience guides organizations through a predictable, measurable process to achieve security maturity:

• Stage 1: Awareness & Contact
• Stage 2: Discovery & Assess
• Stage 3: Framework Structure
• Stage 4: Build Governance
• Stage 5: Optimize Maturity

Strategy Deep Dive: CIS vs. NIST

We help organizations choose the right security framework based on their industry and risk appetite:

• CIS Controls: Prescriptive & actionable, ideal for quick, measurable security improvements and foundational security (IG1).
• NIST CSF: Flexible & risk-based, ideal for regulated enterprises requiring board-level reporting and long-term strategy.

Core Product: IoTsecure

Our agentless discovery and monitoring tool provides visibility of Layer 7 devices (IoT, shadow IT), ensuring compliance with CIS Control 1 (Asset Inventory). IoTsecure fills the gap left by traditional tools, formalizing governance and risk accountability across your enterprise ecosystem.

Key Insight: IoTsecure provides the data needed to base your governance strategy on accurate, comprehensive asset visibility.
