Essentials, for solo operators and very small businesses
The same tools the big firms run, set up for a business of one.
You don't need an IT department to work like you have one. We review how you work, then set you up on enterprise-grade tools for secure file sharing, AI automation, and device security and privacy. One flat engagement, from $200, then you pay the tools directly. No markup, no lock-in.
- 71%of data breaches hit small businesses (Verizon DBIR 2025)
- 50%of solo operators were hit by an attack last year
- 94%of malware arrives by email (2025)
- 46%of credential breaches came via unmanaged personal devices
Three everyday problems. Three grown-up fixes.
-
Files flying around in email
Email attachments can be intercepted, forwarded, and never truly deleted. We move you to a secure cloud workspace: clients share by link, with access you control and can revoke anytime.
-
Hours lost to busywork
Drafting, summarising, organising, follow-ups. Exactly what AI does well. We set up practical automation around how you actually work, so it saves hours instead of adding to your plate.
-
One unprotected device
One bad click on the laptop you run your business from can undo you. We turn on real device security and privacy: protection, backup and sensible settings, the same class of tools large firms deploy.
A tidy, secure setup, chosen for how you work.
We handle the setup
- Review of how you work and your risks
- Secure cloud workspace and file sharing
- Move client files off email attachments
- Practical AI automation for your tasks
- Device security, backup and privacy
You walk away with
- Enterprise-grade tools, solo-sized
- A simple written "how it all works" guide
- Full ownership and control of every account
- Ongoing costs paid direct, no markup
- Freedom to cancel anything, anytime
Chosen for your situation
The specific products are chosen for your situation during the engagement. You are never paying us for software you don't need.
You pay us once. You pay the tools yourself.
What you pay CyberWarden
From $200, one-time
A single flat engagement: we review your use case and implement the whole setup. That's it. No monthly fee to us, no retainer required. When we're done, you're independent.
What you pay the tools
From about $10/month, paid direct
Paid straight to the vendors, the same enterprise-grade services big firms use. No middle-man markup, you own the accounts, and you can cancel anything the moment it stops earning its keep.
Most providers profit from keeping you dependent. We don't.
The usual way
- Resells your software with a markup baked in
- Long contracts and cancellation friction
- Owns the accounts, you can't easily leave
- Bills you monthly whether you need them or not
- Opaque, you never see the real costs
The CyberWarden way
- You pay vendors directly, zero markup
- One flat engagement, then you're free
- Every account is in your name, you hold the keys
- Ongoing help only if you want it, never forced
- Fully transparent, you see and control everything
Growing past a few people?
Once you're a team of 5 to 100 with staff, shared systems and compliance to think about, Managed Security gives you a full security team as a single subscription.
From first call to fully set up, usually in days, not months.
-
Free call
A relaxed 20-minute conversation about what you do, what you handle and what you already use. No sales pressure. We cover your workflow and risks, what you want to automate, and give you a flat quote from $200.
-
Setup
Usually a single focused session. Secure file sharing, AI automation and device security: configured, tested and explained. Your workspace is live, automations wired in, backup on.
-
You own it
Every account is in your name, ongoing costs go straight to the vendors, and you have a plain-language guide. You hold every login and can cancel anytime. Want us on call? Just ask.
The questions we usually get.
Anything not here will be the first thing we cover on your free call. Tell us what you do and what you'd like to fix or automate.
Do I have to keep paying you every month?
No. Our fee is the one-time engagement, from $200. After that you pay the software vendors directly. Ongoing support from us is completely optional.
Do you take over my devices or lock me in?
Never. Every account is created in your name, you hold the logins, and you can cancel anything at any time. There is no contract holding you hostage.
Is my client data actually more private this way?
Yes, that's the point. Instead of confidential files sitting in inboxes, clients share through a secure workspace with access you control and can revoke instantly.
What if I do want you to manage it?
We're happy to. Ongoing management and on-call support are available as an optional add-on. Mention it on the call and we'll scope it for you.
