Your Clients Are Starting
to Ask About Your Security.
Do You Have an Answer?
A full-time CISO costs $400K+. A CyberShield Technologies retainer starts at a fraction of that — and gives law firms, accounting firms, and healthcare groups a named senior security executive without the overhead.

Security Services Built for Mid-Market
No bloated enterprise contracts. No junior consultants. Direct access to senior security expertise — delivered at the level your business actually needs.
Fractional CISO Advisory
Your board wants a named owner for security risk. Your enterprise clients are requiring security attestations. Your cyber insurance is up for renewal and you have no documentation. You need a CISO — but not a full-time one.
CyberShield Technologies' Fractional CISO Advisory gives you a senior security executive at the table — handling strategy, governance, vendor decisions, and board reporting — so you're never caught unprepared.
- Security strategy & annual program roadmap
- Risk management framework development
- Board & executive reporting
- Vendor risk management & MSP vetting
- Cyber insurance readiness
- Change management participation
- M&A security due diligence
Security Awareness Training
Your team is your largest attack surface. Generic training modules don't change behavior — they check a compliance box and get forgotten.
Custom-built training programs tailored to your business and your people's actual roles. Phishing simulations, measurable outcomes, and behavior change that translates to real risk reduction.
- Role-based training modules
- Phishing simulation campaigns
- Measurable behavior metrics
- Compliance documentation for auditors
Tabletop Exercises
Most organizations discover their incident response plan doesn't work during an actual incident. That's the worst time to find out.
Programmatic, scenario-driven exercises that stress-test your team's response before an event occurs. Structured facilitation, documented findings, and actionable improvements your team can implement immediately.
- Ransomware & breach scenarios
- Executive & technical track options
- Formal findings documentation
- Remediation roadmap
Axiom Threat Hunt Assistant
Your SIEM is XSIAM. Their SIEM is Sentinel. Your MSSPs use Splunk. Writing effective threat hunt queries for each platform — and translating them when you switch — is slow, error-prone, and requires specialist knowledge most teams don't have on staff.
Axiom translates threat hunt logic across XQL, KQL, SPL, and CQL in real time. A library of 50+ pre-built hunt patterns mapped to MITRE ATT&CK lets analysts start hunting immediately — on any platform, without rewriting queries from scratch.
- XQL · KQL · SPL · CQL query translation
- XSIAM · Sentinel · Splunk · Falcon · S1
- 50+ MITRE ATT&CK-mapped hunt patterns
- Credential theft, lateral movement, persistence
Having Chris in our corner changed how we approach risk entirely. We went from no security program to board-level reporting and a passed SOC 2 audit in under six months — without hiring a single full-time employee.— Managing Partner, Regional Accounting Firm
Our cyber insurance renewal came with a laundry list of new requirements. CyberShield Technologies helped us document and implement everything in 60 days. The premium increase we'd been warned about didn't happen.— COO, 80-Person Law Firm
The tabletop exercise exposed three critical gaps in our response plan that we had no idea existed. The findings report became the basis for our entire security roadmap for the year.— Practice Administrator, Multi-Location Healthcare Group
