California · 2026 – 2028

California Is Hosting
the World.
Is Your Organization
Ready?

The Super Bowl. The FIFA World Cup. The Olympic Games. As California steps onto the global stage, cyber threat actors are already preparing. Nation-state groups and ransomware organizations don't sit out major global events — they plan for them.

The year to act — before the world arrives
The Threat Is Real. The Timeline Is Fixed.

Major Global Events Are Proven Targets for Coordinated Cyberattacks

The 2024 Paris Olympics faced over 140 cybersecurity incidents during the games — targeting transportation networks, public agencies, and utilities. Prior FIFA World Cups saw coordinated infrastructure probes and phishing campaigns. California's events will be larger and more complex than any of these.

For SLED organizations and critical infrastructure operators, the stakes are especially high. A successful cyberattack — particularly one targeting identity systems — doesn't just disrupt IT. It disrupts public services, emergency operations, and community trust in real time, in front of a global audience.

Preparedness isn't optional. And the window to act is now.

DELIVERABLE 02
NIST CSF 2.0 Alignment Heatmap
A visual gap analysis across all five CSF 2.0 functions — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — showing your current state versus target state at a glance.
DELIVERABLE 03
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
A sequenced 90-day, 6-month, and 12-month action plan organized by risk severity and feasibility. Know exactly what to fix, in what order, and why.

Remediation takes time. The right time to start is now.

How It Works

Simple. Structured. Actionable.

1
Schedule
Request your assessment and connect with a Tec-Refresh advisor to confirm scope and logistics. Most assessments begin within two to three weeks of scheduling.
2
Assessment
Our team evaluates your identity infrastructure, operational resilience posture, NIST CSF 2.0 alignment, and threat exposure. Conducted remotely, with on-site options for larger organizations.
3
Deliverables
Within two to three weeks you receive your Executive Risk Report, NIST CSF 2.0 Alignment Heatmap, and Prioritized Remediation Roadmap — ready to present to leadership.
Built Around the Framework That Matters

NIST CSF 2.0 — The Federal Standard for Cyber Readiness

Every assessment maps directly to all five NIST CSF 2.0 functions. You'll know exactly where you stand — and what to do next.

Identify
Asset visibility, identity inventory, and risk awareness across your environment
Protect
AD hardening, MFA enforcement, and privileged access controls
Detect
Identity threat detection and anomaly monitoring — powered by Semperis ITDR
Respond
Incident playbooks, coordination plans, and tabletop exercise readiness
Recover
AD forest recovery, BCP maturity, and RTO vs. actual recovery capability
Two Organizations. One Mission.

Tec-Refresh + Semperis
Together, we provide a comprehensive approach to cyber preparedness — from assessment through remediation and ongoing resilience. When the world is watching California, your organization will be ready.
The Campaign. The Timeline. The Opportunity.

Three Phases. One Goal.

● Active Now
Phase 1 — Awareness
2025 – 2026
Awareness campaigns, webinars, and readiness assessments. Organizations that assess now have the runway to remediate before the world arrives.
Phase 2 — Engagement
2026 – 2027
Regional field events and executive briefings across Southern California. Deepen resilience, validate assessments, and close remaining gaps.
Phase 3 — Peak Readiness
2027 – 2028
Final preparation as global events arrive. Organizations that started in Phase 1 will be confident. Those that waited will be reacting.
The window is 2026. Closing identity security gaps — hardening Active Directory, implementing incident response playbooks, addressing NIST CSF 2.0 gaps — takes months, not weeks. Organizations that begin now will be genuinely ready. Those that wait may not.
