About ClearShield

Practical cyber support for businesses without a cyber department.

Small and medium businesses depend on email, websites, software, customer data and cloud services, but many cannot justify a full internal security team. ClearShield Cyber is designed to help close that gap with focused, understandable work.

Core principle: security should support the business. Recommendations should be proportionate, explained and possible to maintain.
Why it exists

Start with the basics that protect everyday work.

Many attacks look for opportunity: reused credentials, missing multi-factor authentication, outdated software, exposed administration, weak recovery plans or unsafe forms. These foundations can often be improved without an enterprise security platform.

ClearShield Cyber focuses on cyber health checks and secure-by-design websites and applications. Work is permission-based, evidence-led and scoped before it begins.

What you can expect

Clear language

Findings are explained in business terms with practical ownership and priorities.

Honest boundaries

No claim of full protection, certification or penetration testing unless separately qualified and agreed.

Secure design

Security and privacy considered while designing, not only after launch.

Maintainable outcomes

Solutions should be understandable, documented and realistic for the client to operate.

Guidance used

Recognised references, applied proportionately.

Depending on the service, work may draw on National Cyber Security Centre small-business and secure-design guidance, Cyber Essentials controls, Open Worldwide Application Security Project guidance, WordPress secure coding practices, Information Commissioner’s Office privacy guidance and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2.

Important: alignment to guidance is not the same as accredited certification. ClearShield Cyber will not present a client as certified unless the relevant authorised assessment has been completed.

Cyber risks are not only a big-business problem.

The starting point can still be simple: understand what you use, protect important accounts, keep systems supported, maintain backups and know what to do if something goes wrong.
