Shield of Steel Cyber Command is the digital half of our firm. Officers on the ground, analysts in the SOC, one incident commander when an event crosses both. CMMC Level 2-aligned. Memphis-based. Veteran-led. The same people who write your physical post orders write your incident-response plan.
A ransomware crew walks into a logistics office behind a delivery driver. A social engineer tailgates through a garage gate. A laptop gets lifted out of a parked car on Front Street. The attack surface is the building and the network — if you defend one without the other, you're defending half.
Shield of Steel already runs the physical side. Licensed officers on your doors. GPS-tracked patrols on your perimeter. Alarm response with published SLAs. We've been doing that work across Tennessee and Mississippi with a leadership team that carries 100+ years of combined field experience — military, federal, and law-enforcement.
Cyber Command extends that discipline across the logical perimeter. Same people. Same standard. Same dispatch number. When your HVAC vendor's laptop throws a Cobalt Strike beacon at 2:14 a.m., the SOC analyst who catches the alert is down the hall from the supervisor who controls the officer closest to the breach. One incident. One commander. One after-action report.
We built the cyber practice the way we built the physical one: in-house only, W-2 staff, measurable outcomes, written plans, no reseller licensing dressed up as a service. Every engagement is scoped, priced, and delivered under a signed statement of work — the same way we quote a standing post.
This page is an index. Use the grid below to jump to the discipline you need. If you don't know yet, start with an assessment — we'll tell you in writing what you need, why, and what it costs, with no obligation to engage us for the build.
The convergence is not theoretical. It is how we route calls, run tabletops, and write reports — together, by design, from the first intake meeting.
Licensed armed & unarmed officers, GPS-tracked mobile patrol, 24/7 alarm response, executive protection, and event security — the working bench of our firm since inception, deployed across all 95 Tennessee counties.
CMMC-aligned compliance, managed SOC with live analysts, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, incident response and digital forensics, security awareness training, network/endpoint security, cloud security, and threat intelligence.
We run the same controls internally that we ask our clients to adopt. All 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices are documented inside our own System Security Plan, evidenced with screenshots, artifacts, and policy, and reviewed quarterly. We are not federally contracted today — and we are posture-ready for the day we are, or the day a client needs us to be.
What "self-attested" means here: we have completed our own NIST 800-171 assessment, submitted a score in SPRS-equivalent format internally, and we maintain the evidence package to hand to a 3PAO on thirty days' notice. We have not yet undergone a third-party certified assessment. We won't claim what we haven't earned.
From CMMC readiness through financial-services regulatory compliance, each discipline is staffed in-house and deliverable against a signed scope. Pick a page to go deeper — every card below links to the full offering.
NIST SP 800-171 gap analysis, System Security Plan drafting, POA&M execution, and 3PAO readiness — for CMMC L1 and L2. HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2 mapped on request.
External and internal network scanning, authenticated web-app testing, social engineering, and red-team exercises — scoped, timeboxed, and delivered with a retest.
24/7 IR retainer, on-demand breach response, digital forensics, malware reverse engineering, and post-incident reporting that holds up in litigation and insurance.
Monthly phishing simulations, role-targeted training modules, executive tabletop exercises, and a measured human-risk score that goes on the board deck.
US-based analyst rotation, EDR and SIEM managed for you, correlated alerting with median triage under fifteen minutes, and a weekly ops review with named staff.
Next-gen firewall management, endpoint hardening, zero-trust network access, segmentation, and posture enforcement on laptops, servers, and OT endpoints.
AWS, Azure, and GCP security posture management, CSPM remediation, identity-provider hardening, conditional access, and SaaS-to-SaaS risk review.
Dark-web and deep-web monitoring for your brand, credentials, and executives. OSINT collection, attribution, and actionable indicators fed into the SOC.
SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, and secrets scanning — plus manual secure-code review for novel business logic, threat modeling, and SDLC / CI-CD integration across ten languages.
FFIEC CAT, SOX ITGC, GLBA Safeguards, PCI-DSS v4, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, SEC 17a-4, BSA/FinCEN — for community banks, credit unions, broker-dealers, RIAs, and fintech-partnered institutions.
Cyber Command is run by a director with prior military cyber-operations experience — including adversarial-simulation and red-team operational roles — and a three-cert stack that covers senior technical practice, management & governance, and SOC analyst depth. Each credential is ANSI-accredited and each is accepted as a DoD 8140 baseline. Nothing below is marketing-grade; every cert here is on file and verifiable.
CompTIA's senior-level advanced security practitioner certification. Covers enterprise security architecture, security operations, governance & risk, and technical integration across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Hands-on performance-based exam; not an entry-level credential.
Certified Information Security Manager. The management-and-governance credential issued by ISACA — information risk management, incident management, security program development, and security governance at the program and board layer. The cert auditors expect when a CISO or security lead signs an attestation.
Cybersecurity Analyst — the SOC-facing, detection-and-response credential. Threat and vulnerability management, security operations and monitoring, incident response, compliance, and performance-based analytic work against live log, EDR, and SIEM data. The analyst-discipline counterpart to the architect and manager credentials above.
Every engagement — from a one-time pen test to a multi-year managed SOC contract — runs the same three-phase cadence. No discovery without a scope. No build without a plan. No operation without measurable outcomes.
We start by understanding what you have, what regulators expect, and what an adversary would go after first. NIST 800-171 gap analysis if CMMC is driving the work. Crown-jewel mapping if it isn't. Outputs: a written risk register, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and an honest read of where you stand.
We design the controls, write the policy, deploy the tooling, and document the decisions. SSP drafted, POA&M filed, EDR rolled, MFA enforced, segmentation cut, backups tested. You get a reviewable artifact package and a hand-off runbook — whether we operate it going forward or you do.
24/7 SOC stands up. Incident retainer activates. Monthly phishing sims run. Quarterly business review lands on your desk with metrics — not slide theatre — tied to the risk register from Phase One. Annual pen test on the calendar. Renewal is earned, not assumed.
A senior analyst and a senior officer will meet with your team, review your environment — both sides — and deliver a written assessment within ten business days. No cost, no obligation, no pitch deck. Every engagement quoted line by line, under signed scope.
