The Threat Is Real
What You Get
Your email and phone number are checked against breach databases and dark web marketplaces monthly. If your data appears, you know immediately.
When a new breach hits and your information is in it, you get an alert with exactly what was exposed and what to do next.
We check four platforms for impersonation accounts using your name and photos. Fake profiles get flagged before they do damage.
Quarterly sweeps to find and remove your personal information from data broker sites that collect and sell your data to anyone willing to pay.
A plain-English summary delivered every month. No jargon. No confusing dashboards. Just clear information about your exposure and what changed.
You talk to a certified cybersecurity analyst, not a chatbot. Email or call 7 days a week. Questions answered by a real human who knows your file.

The Difference
With Aura and LifeLock you get a dashboard and a 1-800 number. With Pilsen you get Gio Barrios, a certified cybersecurity analyst who knows your name, answers your questions directly and explains things in plain English.
Pilsen Cyber Advisors is based in Chicago. Your data is monitored by someone in your community, not a corporation in Silicon Valley. If you ever need more than monitoring, we are 20 minutes away.
The big companies bombard you with upgrade prompts and premium tiers. Personal Shield is one plan, one price. Everything is included. If you want more protection later, we offer business services, but we will never push you.
Most clients who start with Personal Shield move up to a full Security Foundation engagement within 90 days once they see what we find. Personal Shield is the easiest way to get started.
Questions
We check your email address and phone number against known data breach databases and dark web marketplaces. We also monitor Google Alerts for your name, scan four major social media platforms for impersonation accounts and submit removal requests to data broker sites that list your personal information.
Free tools show you a one-time snapshot. Personal Shield monitors continuously. When a new breach occurs, you are alerted immediately. We also cover dark web monitoring, social media impersonation and data broker removal, which free tools do not offer. And you get a human analyst you can call, not just a website.
No. Personal Shield is month-to-month. Cancel anytime, no fees, no penalties. We keep you because the service is worth it, not because you are locked in.
You receive an alert with exactly what was found, where it was found and a clear set of steps to take. If you need help understanding it or taking action, you can call or email us directly. We walk you through it.
