For Business Owners
Dedicated Cyber Security. Always On.
We watch your systems around the clock and tell you plainly when something needs action.
You Cannot Be Sure You Would Catch an Attack in Time.
Ransomware and phishing target small businesses because defences are often thin.
You are told you are protected, but nobody can show you.
Staff jobs and client trust should not hang on security being left for later.
Watching for Threats Is Our Job, Not Yours.
No business owner has time to watch for threats day and night. That is a different job.
We work alongside your IT provider and give you clear, six-monthly reports in plain English.
Three Steps to Proper Protection
See where your business is exposed, explained without jargon.
A clear plan and a fixed monthly price, agreed up front.
We watch 24/7, so you can focus on running the company.
Stopped Before It Starts
Here’s how a typical ransomware alert plays out. It starts on a finance laptop at 02:14. Our SOC isolates it in under five minutes, and the team arrives at 08:00 to a short report, not a ransom note.
“With our Security Operations Centre (SOC) in place, we now have complete visibility and 24/7/365 monitoring across all endpoints and our Office 365 ecosystem, ensuring threats are detected and mitigated before they can impact the business.”
Wayne Giles, IT Manager, Silva Care
“When it comes to cybersecurity, transparency is critical. That’s why we asked our IT support provider to work alongside an independent cybersecurity partner, giving us complete visibility, 24/7/365 monitoring, and proactive protection that’s hard to get from a single provider.”
Martin Vincent, CEO, 55.Financial
“Our IT support provider works alongside an independent cybersecurity partner, giving us dedicated expertise, proactive protection, and complete transparency, something we’ve never had when relying on a single provider.”
Tom Simcox, MD, Simcox Insurance Brokers
“As a virtual assistant business handling sensitive client data daily, having the right cybersecurity measures in place is essential. Shield’s approach ensures we have the right protection and gives me real peace of mind knowing our systems and clients are secure.”

Example scenario
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Most owners only find out how exposed they were after an attack.
Encrypted files mean no quotes, no invoices and no payroll until systems are restored.
Telling clients their data was taken is a conversation few businesses fully recover from.
Recovery, lost trade and specialist help add up fast, often more than years of protection would cost.
What Happens When Nobody Is Watching
One email, one evening, one small business. Scroll to see how a normal Tuesday turns into a week nobody can work. Then see the same night with Shield looking after things.
It looks like a normal reminder from a supplier you use. Someone in accounts clicks the link. Nothing seems wrong, but a criminal now has a way into one laptop.
The office is empty, so nobody notices. The criminal picks up staff passwords and uses them to get into other computers, one after another, until they reach the files everyone shares.
Your team arrives to a message on every screen demanding payment. Nobody can open a file or send an invoice. Clients start calling, and getting back to normal takes weeks.
From Worrying About It, to Knowing It's Handled
What This Means for Your Business
Someone qualified is watching your systems every hour, so security stops sitting on your list.
We explain what happened and what it means, in language that makes sense to you.
Six-monthly reports give clients, insurers and partners confidence that you take security seriously.
