RidgeLine Cyber Defence exists to solve a simple problem: cybersecurity governance is essential, but building it from scratch is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for most organisations.
A typical organisation needs dozens — sometimes hundreds — of policies, standards, procedures, and forms to demonstrate adequate cybersecurity governance. Writing these documents from blank pages takes hundreds of hours. Hiring a consultant costs tens of thousands. Many organisations know they need governance documentation, but the cost and complexity stops them before they start.
We believe that shouldn't be the barrier.
We produce comprehensive, professionally authored cybersecurity documentation toolkits that organisations can download, customise, and deploy in days — at a fraction of the cost of building from scratch or hiring consultants.
Our documentation is anchored on authoritative, publicly recognised frameworks: NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001:2022, CIS Controls v8, and the official MS-ISAC 2024 Policy Template Guide. Every document includes framework traceability and cross-references, so your governance programme is defensible from day one.
Every document traces to a specific NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory, with ISO 27001 and CIS Controls cross-references built in. No guesswork. No gaps.
Complete, substantive content — not blank templates with headers. Organisations customise existing documentation, not create from scratch.
Enterprise-grade governance documentation at a fraction of consulting fees. Making compliance accessible regardless of budget constraints.
Jurisdiction-agnostic core content that works for organisations worldwide. No US-specific or region-locked language in the documentation.
Built on authoritative public-domain sources: the CIS/MS-ISAC NIST CSF 2.0 Policy Template Guide, NIST frameworks, ISO standards, and CIS Controls. We reference sources explicitly so organisations can verify the credibility of every document.
We prioritise documents that organisations can actually use — audit-ready policies, operational procedures, working forms and templates. Every toolkit is designed for deployment, not filing away.
Cybersecurity governance must keep pace with emerging risks. Our toolkits include AI security extensions mapped to NIST AI RMF 1.0 and OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025, alongside traditional governance coverage.
We're clear about what our documentation is and isn't. It's professionally authored template content designed for customisation — not legal advice, not a replacement for qualified professional guidance in your specific jurisdiction.
