About | TechEdShield | Cyber Insurance Readiness for Small Business
Our Story

TechEd Shield Is The Cyber Insurance Readiness Company. Built for Business Owners, The Industry Left Behind.

We started TechEdShield because small business owners deserved better than confusing underwriting questionnaires, denied claims, and cybersecurity advice that has nothing to do with what their insurer actually requires.

Where We Started

The Problem We Set Out to Solve

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy. They’re also the most exposed when it comes to cybersecurity, and increasingly, the most exposed when it comes to their insurance. Most small business owners already carry a cyber policy. Few know whether they’d actually pass underwriting, or get paid if they filed a claim. Most of the advice out there was written for IT departments. Most of the tools were priced for enterprises. And almost none of it was written with a renewal date on the calendar.

We built TechEd Shield to change that. We believe every business owner, regardless of technical background, deserves a clear, honest, plain-language picture of where they stand with their insurer and what to do next. That’s it.

43% of all cyber-attacks target small businesses
19% of SMBs facing bankruptcy following an attack
95% of breaches are caused by human error, not technology
5% take clear steps to meaningfully improve their insurance readiness
Core Belief

We Diagnose Before We Certify

“Every cybersecurity vendor arrives with tools to sell. Insurance carriers arrive with a checklist and no patience for excuses. We arrive with questions about your people, your policies, and the specific gaps that could sink a claim. Most claim denials aren’t technology failures; they’re overlooked controls a policy assumed you had. We believe the only way to help you stay covered is understanding your real exposure before recommending anything.”
