Hardshell Technologies is led by a cybersecurity analyst with over 5 years of hands on experience securing real organizations, not just studying them. That means working in live environments, responding to actual incidents and building security programs that hold up under pressure.
Before starting Hardshell, our founder spent years monitoring and defending hybrid cloud and on premises environments, triaging 40 to 60 security alerts every single day, running vulnerability assessments and leading phishing simulation programs that got employee reporting rates to 99%. That experience is what you get access to when you work with us.
We hold CompTIA Network+ and Security+ certifications and work within NIST, HIPAA and HITECH frameworks. If those words don't mean much to you, that's exactly why we're here.
Everything we do is built around one goal: making sure your business stays open, stays trusted and stays protected.
You don't have an IT department. You don't have time to become a cybersecurity expert. That's where we come in. We handle the technical side so you can focus on what you actually built your business to do.
We skip the jargon. Everything we tell you will make sense for your business, not just people with a computer science degree.
You know the cost upfront. Fixed scope, flat pricing. No surprise invoices showing up after the work is done.
