What Shield does
Useful security evidence without another heavy platform.
Built for document-heavy small businesses that need a practical baseline, not a security theater dashboard.
02
Malware status
Separate active from historical Microsoft Defender findings so yesterday's alert is not presented as today's infection.
03
Phishing & scam inspection
Inspect suspicious messages, links and attachments for impersonation, urgency, payment fraud, credential requests and risky attachment signals.
04
Local File Intelligence
Build a bounded local index and surface coverage, exact duplicates, storage opportunity and organization recommendations.
05
Customer-safe reporting
Get a clear HTML status report that intentionally excludes indexed document contents, local file paths, duplicate paths and credential material.
06
Proposal-only organization
See organization opportunities without automatic moving, renaming or deleting of customer source files.
Privacy & safety
Assessment before automation.
Commercial v1 is deliberately conservative. Shield reports what it sees and what deserves review without silently taking destructive action.
0source files moved
0source files renamed
0source files deleted

FAQ
Clear boundaries matter.
Does Shield replace Microsoft Defender?
No. Shield works alongside Defender and Windows security controls. It adds evidence, file intelligence and customer-safe reporting.
Does Shield upload our documents?
The normal File Intelligence and assessment workflow is local-first. Customer status tracks cloud uploads and the normal result is zero.
Does it delete or move files?
Not during the Commercial v1 assessment. Organization recommendations are proposal-only.
Is Shield an EDR, SOC or breach guarantee?
No. Commercial v1 is not sold as EDR/XDR, a SOC, ransomware prevention or guaranteed breach prevention. We do not sell claims the product cannot prove.
Can our IT provider participate?
Yes. Shield is designed to complement an existing MSP or IT relationship rather than displace it.
