Security-First IT & Security Partner

Security and IT for biotech, before your first security hire

For life sciences companies of 20–150 people.
We start with a scored Baseline Assessment and stay with you from your first institutional round through late stage.

Security That Evolves With Your Business

The OLD WAY

Reactive & Fragmented

icon
IT Provider

Focus on closing tickets and maintaining uptime without considering security implications.

icon
Security Vendors

Focus on selling tools and licenses, leaving you to figure out integration and strategy.

icon
Compliance Consultants

Hand you a policy binder and a gap report, then leave you to do the fixing.

VS
The ShieldedCyber Way

Proactive & Unified

icon
Security First

We engineer security into every system, workflow, and access decision from day one.

icon
Security Owns the Stack

Security is always ours. IT is ours when nobody else has it, co-managed when you already have an MSP or an IT lead.

The difference? We don’t just respond to problems or sell you tools. We build secure foundations that reduce risk before it becomes an incident.

When you have an MSP or an in-house IT person, we work alongside them — we never put a second agent on your devices. When you don’t, we run IT too.

What We Cover

The six areas we score in the Baseline Assessment and manage afterward — so leadership can see identity, devices, access, and risk in one view.

icon
Executive Risk Reporting

Non-technical reporting showing trends and remaining risk.

icon
Identity & Access Management

Secure onboarding, offboarding, and role-based access across users and systems.

icon
Fleet & Endpoint Security

Visibility into device health, encryption, OS and application patching, and policy compliance.

icon
Email Threat Protection

Phishing and impersonation defense for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, tuned to how your team actually works.

icon
Partner Security Reviews

We answer pharma security questionnaires and investor diligence requests so you don’t have to.

icon
Incident Response

24/7 monitoring and response, with escalation paths your team already knows.

Phishing Is the Attack That Works on Small Teams

AI-written phishing and impersonation target people, not firewalls, and a 40-person biotech has no security operations center to catch it.

We combine behavioral email analysis with training that fits a scientist’s week, and we measure whether it’s working.

Your Security Partner

Not Just IT Support.
A Security Partner.

ShieldedCyber works with biotech and life sciences companies that have to pass pharma security reviews, investor diligence, and customer audits before they have a security lead of their own.

Who’s behind it: ShieldedCyber is run by someone who has led IT and security inside a Boston-area biotech through a merger, a Microsoft 365 hardening program, and the security reviews that come with pharma partnerships.

icon
Your Security Lead

We don’t just advise. We run security for you, and IT when nobody else does.

Know your compliance posture today. Documentation ready when a pharma partner, investor, or auditor asks.

icon
Executive Visibility

Monthly risk scorecards in plain English showing your posture, trends, and remediation progress.
