Information security goes well beyond technology. It is Risk Management. 65% of small and medium sized businesses and enterprises have experienced a cyberattack in the last year. Regulatory demands and cyber insurance requirements have never been more stringent. In today’s climate, strategic cybersecurity guidance is a necessity, not a luxury. You need someone who can assess risks and vulnerabilities, create and execute a comprehensive cybersecurity plan, ensure compliance and safeguard business continuity.
Better cybersecurity starts with a better approach. At Secure Shield, we take on the complexity of cyber defense while creating an architecture and roadmap that makes sense for your unique business
Our approach to information security is characterized by a delicate balance between simplicity and thoroughness, recognizing that while the concept may be straightforward, its execution demands meticulous attention to detail. We make information security simple, but not easy—a mantra that underscores our dedication to providing accessible yet comprehensive solutions that leave no stone unturned in safeguarding businesses against cyber threats.
Our mission at Secure Shield is to fix the broken information security industry. Our priority is helping people. Not only do we respond to incidents, but we also solve as many weaknesses as we can in your security environment. Being with organizations before, during, and after a breach is the only way we can truly improve their security and protect the sensitive information entrusted to them.
There is no such thing as a “cookie cutter” approach or an “easy button” with information security. Each organization is different, and every security program is at a different stage of maturity. We get to know your business intimately, use an information security risk assessment to inform your team what your strengths and weaknesses are, and then apply industry best practices to help you make improvements.
We view Risk Assessments a bit differently than most MSP’s and Cybersecurity firms. Our unique risk assessment methodology helps you establish a quantifiable baseline for your security posture and prioritize remediation efforts for the most critical issues. Conducting a cyber risk assessment is the essential first step in developing an effective, comprehensive, and measurable security strategy. Our assessments are based on NIST, maps to every major industry standard and extends far beyond simple technical IT controls.
We do not sell any third-party products. We solve problems, and information security is all we do. Since we are not an MSP so you can be confident that we are not out to sell you the perfect “stack”, or push you towards tools you do not understand or need. Our advice will always be made with improving your security program. We will never recommend hardware or software unless it’s what’s best for your organization.
“Since our industry is so highly regulated, we wanted to be sure our security was performing as well as it possibly could. We are subject to customer audits, and Secure Shield helped us strengthen our policies and operating procedures to frame us in the best light with our clients. There is a lot of depth to their background in information security and physical security. They know how to provide full coverage and give good suggestions to eliminate gaps.”

Cyber budgeting is a crucial component of financial planning for companies in all industries. In fact, most companies don’t even consider a cyber security budget. Businesses usually consider cyber as an “IT” investment. Monies spent on cyber security and IT are two separate bucket’s.
