Convert invisible risk into visible reality.
Direnzic translates cybersecurity into dollars, operations, and decisions for water utilities, critical infrastructure, transportation, and manufacturing leaders who cannot afford surprises.
Your plan is only as good as the first fifteen minutes of a real incident.
These are the moments we rehearse with our clients. Real enough to matter. Redacted enough to share.
A municipal water utility's SCADA controls go unresponsive. Your plant manager's phone lights up. What does your first fifteen minutes look like?
Run this scenarioYour COO is forwarded a ransomware email on her phone during a public hearing. Cameras are rolling. Who talks first?
Run this scenarioYour AI-powered work-order system starts approving vendor invoices on its own. Who notices first, and how?
Run this scenarioFour services. One promise.
We don't sell tools. We sell the translation, the plan, and the behavior change.

The Art of AI Adoption
For leaders adopting AI tools before properly scoping the risk surface that comes with them. Turn shadow AI into governed AI.
ACRA: AI Cyber Readiness Assessment
A one-week diagnostic of where AI has quietly entered your operations and what it now exposes, scored across five dimensions.
Tabletops and crisis simulations that change behavior, not just check a box.
Most firms in this space run rehearsed scenarios from a binder. Direnzic builds on what's actually happening in your sector this quarter, with role-accurate pressure, real adversary play, and a 30-day after-action plan that actually changes what your team does next.
Real scenarios, not generic
Built from your sector's last 90 days.
We pull from active threat activity, recent regulatory shifts, and the operational pressures your peers are facing right now. Your team recognizes every turn.
Role-accurate pressure
Your GM sits in the GM's chair.
We play every adversary, every regulator, every reporter. Your team practices the decisions they'll actually be asked to make, in the chairs they'll actually be sitting in.
After-action that sticks
A 30-day plan, not a certificate.
The hot-wash and the written debrief identify the real gaps. The 30-day action plan is what turns a one-day exercise into a permanent capability lift.
Meet the strategist who bridges the gap between cyber risk and leadership.
Ieshea Hollins is the Founder and CEO of Direnzic Technology, where she serves as a Chief Information Security Officer and Cybersecurity and AI Strategist for organizations that cannot afford failure.
With more than 20 years of experience working inside federal agencies, municipalities, water utilities, and critical infrastructure environments, Ieshea has built her career at the intersection of technology risk and real-world consequence, where cybersecurity failures impact not only systems, but also public safety, operations, and trust.
She is known for a rare ability: speaking fluently in both the boardroom and the SOC, and translating between the two in real time. Her work helps executive teams understand not just what their cyber risks are, but what those risks mean in dollars, downtime, regulatory exposure, and reputation.
Ieshea is the architect behind several proprietary Direnzic frameworks and programs, including the Cyber Readiness Score™, AI Risk Governance & Cyber Resilience Program (ARG-CRP™), the RRA-ERP Compliance Review, and The Art of AI Adoption, all designed to move organizations beyond compliance into true cyber resilience.
Through Direnzic, she partners with leadership teams to build cybersecurity cultures, guide strategic decision-making, and prepare organizations for real-world incidents, not just audits. In addition to her advisory work, Ieshea hosts industry conferences, leads immersive training experiences, and is a recognized voice in cybersecurity and AI adoption, particularly within critical and regulated sectors.
