Protecting Your Business from Today’s and Tomorrow’s Cyber Threats
Are you in the middle of an active cyber incident—and realizing you don’t need more tools, you need incident leadership? Is your internal team overwhelmed, your IT/MSP unsure what to do next, or everyone making decisions without a clear command structure? And right now, do you need certainty on what’s happening, what’s been impacted, and what actions will actually stop the bleeding?
We solve that by stepping in as your independent Incident Response lead—bringing calm, executive-level incident command with hands-on technical execution. We take control of containment and decision-making: isolate affected systems, stop lateral movement, preserve evidence, and coordinate IT, vendors, and leadership so actions aren’t duplicated—or missed. We validate what’s actually compromised, how the attacker got in, and what must be remediated to prevent re-entry.
Give us a call at (424) 348-3737 for immediate assistance if you’re in an active incident. If you’re not under attack today, we can also help you validate your incident readiness so you know exactly how prepared you are before something happens.
Emergency Incident Triage (Active Incident)
When you suspect an active breach, we jump in fast to confirm what’s happening, what systems are affected, and what to do in the next 30–120 minutes. You get immediate priorities, clear containment steps, and a focused plan to stop impact.
Root Cause Investigation (Active Incident)
We collect evidence, trace the intrusion path, identify patient-zero, and determine what data/systems were accessed. This supports confident remediation decisions, insurance requirements, and (when needed) legal/regulatory reporting.
Containment & Threat Suppression (Active Incident)
We isolate affected endpoints and network, block attacker access, and stop lateral movement—without taking down the business unnecessarily. We coordinate technical actions across IT, MSPs, and critical vendors to eliminate confusion and speed containment.
Eradication & Remediation (Active Incident)
We remove attacker persistence, close the entry points that were exploited, reset and secure compromised credentials, and harden your environment—tightening access, configurations, and monitoring—so the attacker can’t regain a foothold or move laterally again; the goal is not just “get back online,” but “get safe again.”
Recovery & Secure Restoration (Active Incident)
We guide system restoration with validation—reimaging, rebuilding, integrity checks, and staged return-to-service—so you don’t reintroduce malware or revive the attacker’s foothold. We focus on minimizing downtime and getting operations stable.
Incident Response Readiness Assessment (Readiness)
We assess your true preparedness—roles, access, logging, tools, contacts, and decision paths—then upgrade your IR plan and playbooks to match real-world threats. You leave with a practical, usable response package (not a binder that sits on a shelf).
Ransomware Response (Active Incident)
We help leadership manage high-pressure decisions: scope confirmation, containment strategy, negotiation readiness, and recovery options. We also coordinate communications, documentation, and vendor/insurance touchpoints to keep the response controlled and defensible.
Tabletop Exercises & Training (Readiness)
We run realistic incident simulations (ransomware, BEC, data breach, insider, etc.) to test people and process under pressure. Your team learns what breaks, who decides what, and how to communicate—before it’s real.
Why Choose Us
Based in Los Angeles, Purple Shield is a cybersecurity consulting firm that helps businesses respond fast when an incident hits—and prepare before one ever happens. We believe incident response is about more than tools and alerts—it’s about calm leadership, clear decisions, and protecting what matters most when the pressure is on. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience across security operations, digital forensics, risk management, architecture, compliance, and executive-level crisis leadership.
When you’re facing an active incident, we step in as your independent incident response lead to contain the threat, preserve evidence, and coordinate IT, vendors, and leadership so the response is controlled and effective.

Industries
We work with organizations that face real security risks and regulatory pressure. Our experience spans industries where protecting data and ensuring operational continuity are critical.
Whether you're handling sensitive information, managing distributed teams, or preparing for audits, we understand the challenges—and build strategies to match.
Healthcare
We help healthcare organizations protect patient data, meet regulatory requirements, and strengthen their overall security posture. From HIPAA compliance to incident response planning, we understand the unique challenges healthcare providers face.
Legal
We support law firms and legal service providers in protecting sensitive client information, maintaining confidentiality, and meeting ethical obligations around data security. With the growing threat of cyberattacks targeting legal practices, we help firms implement clear policies, secure communications, and safeguard digital records.
Financial Services
We help financial institutions protect sensitive data, maintain customer trust, and meet strict regulatory requirements. Whether you're a bank, credit union, accounting firm, or fintech company, you face constant pressure to secure transactions, prevent fraud, and defend against cyber threats.
Small & Mid-Sized Businesses
We also support a wide range of organizations outside traditional high-risk sectors. Whether you're in real estate, logistics, education, manufacturing, or professional services, protecting sensitive data and ensuring operational continuity is essential. Cyber threats don’t discriminate by industry, and even businesses without regulatory pressure can face serious consequences from a breach.
Problems We Solve
Every organization faces unique security challenges, and the risks go far beyond technology. We work with you to uncover the real causes of vulnerability—whether that means tightening policies, strengthening access management, improving incident readiness, or easing compliance demands. Instead of applying surface-level fixes, we focus on solving core issues so your security program is stronger, simpler, and more effective over the long term.
Security Problems We Solve
Every organization has blind spots—areas where security falls short or risks go unnoticed. We help identify and resolve the issues that create real exposure, from missing policies to unmonitored systems. Whether you're struggling with compliance gaps, unclear roles, or inconsistent security practices, we focus on fixing the problems that matter most. Our goal is to bring structure and clarity to your security efforts, so you can move forward with confidence.
Solving What Matters
We focus on the cybersecurity issues that have real business impact—protecting sensitive data, preserving your reputation, preventing financial loss, and keeping operations running. Our work isn’t about checklists or trends—it’s about defending what your business relies on every day. We prioritize clear, actionable guidance so every step we take brings you closer to meaningful, lasting security.
Advanced Technologies
We deploy enterprise-grade security technologies—enhanced by AI, automation, and real-time threat intelligence—to detect, analyze, and respond to attacks across your entire environment. From cloud workloads and identities to endpoints and data flows, our tools deliver deep visibility without adding noise or complexity. Every solution we recommend is chosen for one reason: to match your risk profile and protect what matters most—not just follow industry hype.
Poor Security Maturity
Many organizations struggle not because they lack tools, but because they lack a clear cybersecurity strategy. Misaligned priorities, unclear accountability, and reactive decision-making can leave even well-funded environments exposed. We help bring leadership, structure, and direction to your security program—turning scattered efforts into a cohesive plan that supports both day-to-day operations and long-term growth. Security isn’t just about defense—it’s about enabling your business to move forward with less risk and more control.

Testimonials
"As a mid-size company, we didn’t have the resources for a full-time CISO. Purple Shield’s vCISO gave us top-tier leadership and a clear roadmap to strengthen our security while scaling our business."
Cameron Eghbali - U.S. Games Dist.
"Working with Purple Shield as our virtual CISO has been a huge relief. They explain things in plain language, help us understand what really matters, and give us a clear plan instead of a long list of tools to buy. "
Raymond Sarraf - Sarraf Law Firm
"We were scaling fast and honestly had no idea if our security kept up. Purple Shield came in, reviewed everything, and built a roadmap that fit our budget and timeline. No scare tactics, no upsell—just honest advice and steady guidance. "
Martin Berman - Berman Financial Services
"We don’t have the budget for a full-time CISO, so having Purple Shield as our vCISO has been a lifesaver. They translated all the security jargon into plain English and gave us a clear plan we could actually follow. I finally feel like we know where we stand and what to do next."
