defensive stock status

The widely-used expression "defensive stock" describes a low risk/low return security. For investors, it's a stock that minimizes the risk of losing their principal. Defensive stocks are usually found in "boring but safe" sectors such as food, tobacco, drugs, utilities etc.

position as shares of low volatility

a "valeur défensive" is a share whose change in value in response to market conditions is relatively low. This makes them popular in falling markets.

disagree VBaby : Low volatility and defensive status go usually together, but these are two different characteristics
