Eighteen years of converting invisible risk into visible reality.
Cybersecurity is not a technical problem with business consequences. It is a business problem with technical causes. We have built our entire practice around that distinction.
Direnzic was founded in Monroe, Louisiana in 2008 as a digital forensics practice. We were the firm called in after something went wrong, and we were good at it. But case after case taught us the same hard lesson: by the time we were brought in, the damage had been done. We were a reactive solution to a problem that demanded a proactive approach.
So in 2010 we added cybersecurity to our service offerings, making us one of the first non-government companies to offer both digital forensics and cybersecurity to non-government entities. We earned our certifications, began pursuing federal and state RFPs, and by 2018 had expanded into transit authorities, our first deep work in the critical infrastructure systems that would become our calling.
2020 tested us twice. The government shutdown exposed the risk of a client base concentrated in federal and municipal accounts, and it hit us hard. But when the world went home, a new problem walked in our door: executives suddenly working from living rooms while still bound by regulatory requirements. We became the go-to organization for securing executive home environments, and the calls for fractional Chief Information Security Officer leadership kept coming. That demand built our vCISO practice, and that same year we opened our second location in Frisco, Texas. We have maintained both ever since: Monroe, where we were originally headquartered, and North Dallas, where our second office operates today.
Today, Direnzic works at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI governance for water utilities, critical infrastructure, transportation, manufacturing, and municipal operations, where a cyber failure is never just an IT incident. It is a public trust incident. The AI era did not change our mission; it accelerated the need for it. Our work helps leaders assess the risk, govern the exposure, rehearse the crisis, and defend every decision that follows.
We are a certified Woman- and Minority-Owned small business serving federal agencies, state and municipal governments, and private sector partners, and a third-party cybersecurity partner to MSPs who need independent, unbiased assessment for their clients.
