Protecting Your Business from Today’s and Tomorrow’s Cyber Threats
Do you feel like you don’t need more tools—you need security leadership?
Are you exploring a vCISO because no one truly owns the cybersecurity program, the roadmap, or the decisions? And if you’re working with an IT provider or MSP—are you unsure whether security is being managed strategically, or simply assembled tool-by-tool?
We solve that by stepping in as your independent vCISO / Fractional CISO—bringing executive-level leadership with hands-on execution. We build and run a security program aligned to your business: clear priorities, measurable risk reduction, documented controls, and accountability across IT and vendors. We validate what’s deployed, how it’s configured, and whether it’s actually protecting you—reducing tool sprawl and eliminating blind spots.
Scroll down to see how we replace “uncertainty and tool clutter” with strategy, governance, proof, and confidence—without the cost of a full-time CISO.

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."
