Enterprise & corporate — mid-large general business
For mid-to-large general enterprises outside the heavily-regulated verticals — retail, logistics, pharma R&D, professional services — that no longer fit the "too small to be targeted" excuse and want continuous validation without paying for a CISO seat at the table that does not yet exist.
The 2024-2026 ransomware shift broke the comfortable assumption that mid-market corporate operators were below the threat-actor cost threshold. AI-augmented affiliates have collapsed the per-target operational cost — the same playbook that targets a Tier-1 bank now targets a €200M-revenue logistics operator, because the marginal effort approaches zero. Add the increasing NIS2 surface (digital service providers, postal/courier, waste, chemicals, food and beverage, manufacturing of medical devices are all in the "important entity" set), GDPR-driven security baseline, and the cyber-insurance market pricing on demonstrated controls — and the general-enterprise CISO is suddenly under the same kind of pressure the regulated verticals have had for years, but with a tenth of the budget and headcount.
What is on the enterprise CISO's desk
Ransomware exposure without enterprise budget
You are now a target. You do not have a €5M security budget. The math has to work at €200-500k of annual security spend, with FTE-equivalent of 1-3 people. Tooling that requires a 5-FTE SOC to operate is structurally inaccessible.
NIS2 "important entity" creep
Many corporates discover they are in NIS2 scope as "important entities" only when they hit a customer due-diligence questionnaire that asks for the evidence. The bar is the same as for utilities, but you have neither the staff nor the historical investment.
Cyber-insurance pricing pressure
Premiums and deductibles are now tied to demonstrated controls. "We do an annual pentest" no longer satisfies the underwriter. Continuous-validation evidence is the new baseline for keeping the policy renewable at affordable rates.
GDPR Art. 32 / Art. 33 baseline obligations
Every personal-data breach fires the 72h notification; the standard of proof keeps rising. Manual evidence assembly is unaffordable when an incident hits — needs to be a byproduct of operations.
Supply-chain due-diligence asks
Your enterprise customers are increasingly asking for continuous-validation evidence and signed disclosure timelines, not just a SOC 2 letter. Failing the questionnaire costs you the renewal.
How Zero Hunt fits a general enterprise
Multi-regime compliance evidence from a small footprint
Map every finding once against NIS2 (where applicable), GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — the auto-mapping eliminates the parallel evidence assembly that breaks under-staffed compliance teams. The Trust Center export covers all regimes from the same record store.
Continuous validation that does not need a 5-FTE SOC
The 10-agent swarm runs autonomously. The output is signed findings + remediation priority + cross-mapping — actionable without a dedicated red-team capacity. A 1-2 FTE security function can operate it; the appliance is the leverage.
Catch the threats the enterprise EDR misses
Most mid-market enterprise stacks rely on commodity EDR. Pillar 2 catches what EDR misses by definition: in-progress exfiltration, covert C2, mid-encryption ransomware signatures on the file-share layer. Network-side detection is the layer the budget rarely funds — Zero Hunt collapses it into the same appliance.
Capability emphasis for enterprises
- ▸Low-FTE operation: autonomous campaigns + auto-prioritised findings, no dedicated red team required
- ▸Multi-regime compliance evidence (GDPR + NIS2 if applicable + ISO 27001 + SOC 2) from one record store
- ▸Cyber-insurance underwriter-grade documentation (continuous validation logs, signed evidence)
- ▸Supply-chain due-diligence answer in one PDF instead of a months-long questionnaire chase
- ▸Integrates with the SIEM/EDR you already have — REST + WebSocket + webhook
Who buys this in a general enterprise
CISO or Head of IT Security sponsoring; CFO authorising on the cyber-insurance-premium trade-off and the FTE-equivalent saved on evidence assembly; sometimes the CIO when there is no CISO. Often the trigger event is a failed customer due-diligence questionnaire or a hardening insurance renewal. Channel-led when the existing system integrator has the relationship.
