Every client works directly with me — no helpdesk, no account manager. You get the analyst, founder, and the person staking their reputation on your result.

Flat-Rate. No Surprises.

No hourly billing. No retainer required. No surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're paying before we begin — and the price doesn't change.

Chicago Built. Local Access.

I'm 20 minutes away if you need me on-site. I understand Chicago businesses and I'm invested in protecting the community I live and work in.

Chicago-based cybersecurity analyst with hands-on SOC experience monitoring real enterprise environments using FortiSIEM, Microsoft Sentinel, and CrowdStrike Falcon. I built Pilsen to bring that same level of security expertise to small businesses — at a price that actually makes sense.

Not every business owner is ready to invest in a full security assessment — and that's okay. The Pilsen Personal Shield is a monthly monitoring service designed for the business owner who wants protection without the upfront commitment.

For $19.99/month we monitor your business domain and personal emails on the dark web, send you a plain-English breach alert report, scan for social media impersonation, and walk you through securing your personal identity. No long-term contract. Cancel anytime.
