Security and Infrastructure Support for Real World Teams
Design. Defend. Disrupt.
We help businesses, agencies, and public facing clients clean up their environments, close security gaps, respond to incidents, and
stay ready for what is next, without drowning you in jargon.
Assess the risks, fix what matters, and build security that lasts
Every engagement starts with a focused conversation about how you work today, what you are worried about, and
what you are trying to protect. From there we recommend a scoped project or ongoing support that actually fits
your environment and budget.
Below are the three main ways we work with clients. Most projects mix pieces of each.
What we do
Three ways ShadowGrid supports your environment
Whether you are building from scratch, cleaning up a fast growth mess, or preparing for audits and
high visibility work, we shape the engagement around you.
ShadowGuard Elite is our discreet offering for executives, public figures, and high risk professionals
whose personal and family environments are part of the attack surface.
Focus areas:
• Digital privacy and exposure reduction.
• Home, travel, and device security.
• Ongoing, low noise support for higher risk profiles.
Practical support for NIST aligned, mission driven teams
We help agencies and contractors reduce cyber risk while staying aligned with guidance such as NIST 800 171 and 800 53,

If you are not sure where to start, you are not alone. Here are a few of the questions we hear most often.
We usually begin with a short call to understand your current setup, recent issues, and what prompted you
to reach out. From there we suggest a scoped assessment or project with clear outcomes so you know what you
are getting and why it matters.
Both. Many clients start with a focused project such as a security health check or network redesign and
then choose a light ongoing support arrangement for periodic reviews, advice, and future changes. We walk
through options based on what makes sense for your team.
We support small and mid sized businesses, nonprofits, and government adjacent teams that rely on cloud,
on prem, or hybrid environments. If you are not sure whether you fit, we are happy to talk it through and
point you in the right direction even if we are not the right match.
Yes. We provide incident response support for new and returning clients regardless of where you are in the
incident lifecycle. Whether you are unsure if something is happening, need containment immediately, or need
post incident forensics, we can help you stabilize the situation and understand what happened.
Pricing is based on your environment, the number of systems in scope, and the level of depth you need. After
an initial conversation we provide a clear estimate and scope. For VIP and ShadowGuard Elite work, pricing
is always custom and discussed privately.
Most discovery, review, and planning work is done remotely. For certain projects, such as physical reviews
or complex network work, on site visits can be included where it makes sense and is feasible.
Not sure which bucket you fit in? That is what the call is for.
You do not need to show up with the perfect project description. Tell us what keeps you up at night, where your
environment feels fragile, or what a client just asked you for, and we will help you figure out the right first
move.
