What’s at Stake Here

The Data Attackers Come to the South Bay For

Hardware and software companies here hold intellectual property that took years to build and can be copied in an afternoon. The attacks we see aim at it through the usual doors: a contractor account that was never disabled, a phished engineer with access to every repository, a shared drive link that never expired, or a lab machine nobody patched because it runs test equipment.

There’s also pressure from your customers. Large enterprise buyers send security questionnaires before they sign, and companies in the defense supply chain are seeing CMMC requirements written into contracts. We build the controls that protect the work and keep the evidence that proves it, so a questionnaire becomes an afternoon instead of a fire drill.

  • Access reviewed for employees, contractors and vendors
  • Repositories and shared drives with tightened sharing
  • Lab and test machines isolated from the main network
  • Security evidence kept ready for customer reviews

Protection Across Every Layer

Advanced Shield is our managed security service, run and monitored by the same team that manages your systems.

24/7 Detection & Response
Workstations, servers and identities watched around the clock, with threats isolated before they spread.
Identity & Access
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access and admin rights limited to the people who need them.
Data Protection
Sharing settings, device encryption and access controls that keep designs and code where they belong.
Email Protection
Phishing and impersonation filtered before they reach engineers, finance or leadership.
Security Awareness
Regular training and simulated phishing aimed at the tricks your people actually see.
Backup & Recovery
Systems and cloud data backed up and test-restored, so ransomware doesn’t decide your timeline.
Proving It to Customers

Security Reviews Without the Fire Drill

When an enterprise customer, investor or prime contractor asks how you protect data, the answer should already be written.

01
Enterprise Questionnaires
We answer security questionnaires from controls that are really in place, not aspirations.

CMMC for Defense Work
Scoping, NIST 800-171 controls and evidence for suppliers moving into DoD contract work.
03
SOC 2 Support
We don’t hold your data, but we help you build the controls and evidence a SOC 2 audit expects.
04
Cyber Insurance
MFA, EDR and tested backups put in place so insurance applications can be answered truthfully.
05
Incident Response
If something gets through, we contain it, restore systems and report within 24 hours.
06
Offboarding Done Right
Departing employees and contractors lose access the same day, with devices and data recovered.

San Jose Cybersecurity FAQ

What founders and security leads ask us first.

What is Advanced Shield?
Advanced Shield is our managed security service: endpoint detection and response, 24/7 monitoring, email protection, security awareness training and backup, all run by our team.
Can you help us answer customer security questionnaires?
Yes. We help you put the controls in place and keep the evidence, then help you answer questionnaires accurately.
Do you help with CMMC?
Yes. We help defense supply chain companies scope their environment, implement NIST 800-171 controls and prepare evidence for assessment.
Are you SOC 2 certified?
We don’t hold a SOC 2 report ourselves because we don’t host or hold client data. We help clients build the controls their own SOC 2 audits require.
How quickly will you tell us about a breach?
Within 24 hours of confirming an incident — not the 72 hours many contracts allow.
Is there a minimum company size?
We work with organizations of 20 users and up.
