Cybersecurity Services
Complete Cybersecurity, Built for How Business Happens Today
Cybersecurity isn’t one tool or one solution — it’s a system. At Shadowbear, we help businesses secure what they’ve built by combining proactive protection, advanced monitoring, employee training, and expert guidance into one fully managed security stack.
For many organizations, that system starts with VanguardWatch — our flagship managed security service.

But Security Doesn’t Stop There.
If you have other cybersecurity needs, we got you. From penetration testing, to vulnerability patching, to compliance readiness and consulting. We build flexible security solutions that meet your business where it is — and where it’s headed.
Penetration Testing
Know Your Weaknesses — Before Someone Else Does
The most dangerous vulnerabilities are the ones you don’t know exist. Our penetration testing services simulate real-world attacks across your network, applications, and users — identifying weaknesses so you can fix them before an actual attacker finds them.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report, clear remediation steps, and expert guidance to harden your environment based on real attacker tactics.
External Testing
We assess your public-facing infrastructure to uncover open doors, exposed services, and weaknesses in your perimeter.
Internal Testing
We simulate insider attacks and compromised devices to evaluate your internal defenses, privilege escalation risks, and lateral movement paths.
Application Testing
Web and mobile applications are thoroughly tested following OWASP standards, revealing flaws like authentication bypasses, insecure APIs, or business logic vulnerabilities.
Security Awareness & Phishing Simulations
Cybersecurity Starts With Your People
Even the best technology can’t stop every phishing email. But trained employees can. We turn your staff into an active part of your defense through continuous, realistic, and engaging training.
Security awareness isn’t a checkbox — it’s a culture shift. We make it easy.
Real-World Phishing Simulations
Ongoing campaigns that randomly deliver simulated phishing emails to keep employees sharp — not predictable.
Bite-Sized Training
Quick, 5-minute lessons delivered monthly to build long-term security awareness without overwhelming your team.
Adaptive & Role-Based Content
Training paths adjust based on employee roles and behaviors, ensuring content stays relevant and effective.
Clear Reporting
Track participation, risk levels, and progress over time — and get the compliance documentation you need for audits.
Managed Threat Detection & Response (SIEM & XDR)
24/7 Monitoring — Without The Overhead
Cyber threats don’t take time off — but with Shadowbear watching your environment, you don’t have to either.
We combine advanced threat detection with expert human triage to deliver enterprise-grade protection at a small business price point.
You’ll only hear from us when it matters — and when you do, you’ll know exactly what to do next.
Real-Time Threat Monitoring
We collect security events across cloud apps, endpoints, servers, SaaS, and more — monitoring for early indicators of compromise.
Automated Response Playbooks
When threats are detected, we automatically trigger predefined containment steps while you’re notified with clear next actions.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Our team actively searches for sophisticated attack patterns, insider threats, and indicators that evade basic detection.
Compliance Coverage
Fully mapped coverage for HIPAA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, and many other compliance frameworks built directly into our platform.
Cloud Backup & Ransomware Recovery
If Ransomware Hits, We Roll Back the Clock
Ransomware doesn’t just target big enterprises. It hits small businesses too — and paying the ransom is never your best option.
Our cloud backup and disaster recovery solution protects your business from data loss, whether caused by hackers, human error, or hardware failure.
Downtime is expensive. We help you avoid it entirely.
Endpoint, Server & SaaS Protection
Backup all devices — desktops, servers, mobile devices, and key cloud platforms.
Fast Restore Times
Rapid recovery capabilities let you get back to business quickly after an incident.
Ransomware Detection
Anomaly detection flags suspicious activity early and allows rollback to clean data versions.
Fully Encrypted & Managed
Secure AES-256 encryption and centralized management make backup easy, even across distributed teams.
CMMC & Compliance Readiness
Compliance is Complex — We Make It Simple
Whether you need to prepare for a CMMC audit or meet regulatory obligations like HIPAA, PCI, or NIST 800-171, Shadowbear helps you build a plan that works.
You focus on your business — we’ll handle the compliance details.
Gap Assessments
We review your current posture against your compliance framework and identify gaps.
SPRS Scoring & POAM Development
For CMMC, we calculate your score, document deficiencies, and map out remediation milestones.
Clear Documentation
We provide fully written documentation packages that support audits and ongoing compliance.
Long-Term Support
We stay engaged beyond the assessment — offering ongoing advisory, monitoring, and evidence collection.
Cybersecurity Expertise On-Demand
Get an Experienced Partner In Your Corner
Sometimes you don’t need full-time staff — you just need access to the right expertise when challenges arise.
Shadowbear’s consulting services deliver high-level strategic and technical support as you need it.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to help.
Security Policy Development
We help you create clear, effective security policies and documentation tailored to your business, ensuring you meet both internal best practices and external compliance requirements.
Audit Preparation & Gap Closure
Whether you’re facing a customer audit or preparing for formal compliance certification, we assess your current posture, identify gaps, and guide you through remediation to achieve audit readiness.
Incident Response Planning
We build practical incident response plans and run tabletop exercises, so your team knows exactly how to react when a security event happens — minimizing downtime and reducing business risk.
vCISO & Strategic Consulting
Get ongoing executive-level security leadership without adding full-time headcount. Our vCISO and vCTO services provide strategic guidance, vendor management, compliance support, and cybersecurity roadmap development.
Real Businesses. Real Results.
You don’t need a full-time cybersecurity team to meet high standards. Here’s how two very different businesses are using Vanguard Watch to protect what matters most.
CASE STUDY
Government Contractor Improves SPRS Score
A small defense contractor needed to meet CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements to stay eligible for future federal contracts. With no internal security team and tight compliance deadlines, they turned to Vanguard Watch.
We handled the onboarding, provided monthly security awareness training, implemented ongoing log monitoring, and helped improve documentation around access control and incident response. Within weeks, they increased their SPRS score and reduced compliance risk—without hiring new staff or buying multiple tools.
CASE STUDY
Small Business Gains Cyber Peace of Mind
A local service business with fewer than 10 employees knew cybersecurity was important, but didn’t have the personnel or bandwidth to handle it. They weren’t chasing government contracts—just trying to avoid becoming the next ransomware headline.
With Vanguard Watch, we rolled out hands-free training for their staff, set up monitoring on their Microsoft 365 accounts, and began sending simple monthly reports. The business owner now feels confident they’re protected and supported, even without technical expertise on staff.
