Cybersecurity Services for US Companies

Cybersecurity Services for US Companies

eShield provides cybersecurity consulting and compliance services to US companies seeking quality security assessments at competitive international rates. Our OSCP and CISSP-certified team delivers penetration testing, SOC 2 certification, ISO 27001 implementation, and cloud security assessments for US-based organizations across all industries.

As cybersecurity costs continue to rise in the US market — with senior consultants billing $300-500/hour and comprehensive assessments costing tens of thousands of dollars — forward-thinking US companies are turning to qualified international firms that deliver the same methodology, the same certifications, and the same quality deliverables at 40-60% lower cost.

Our Dubai-based team works across US timezones with structured communication and handoff processes. We deliver the same OWASP, PTES, and NIST-aligned methodologies used by top US firms, backed by the same industry certifications your auditors and enterprise customers expect.

Services for US Companies

SOC 2 Compliance (Type I & Type II)

SOC 2 compliance is the primary demand driver for US companies engaging eShield. Nearly every B2B SaaS company, startup seeking enterprise customers, and technology vendor faces SOC 2 requirements. We provide end-to-end SOC 2 consulting — from readiness assessment and gap analysis through policy development, control implementation, and audit preparation for both Type I and Type II reports.

Our SOC 2 practice covers all five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. We help you select the right scope, implement controls efficiently, and prepare for a successful audit with your chosen CPA firm.

ISO 27001 Certification

ISO 27001 certification is increasingly required by US enterprise buyers as part of vendor security assessments. International companies selling into the US market and US companies expanding globally find ISO 27001 essential. We guide organizations through the complete certification journey — risk assessment, ISMS implementation, internal audit, and certification audit preparation.

Penetration Testing

Our OSCP-certified testers deliver thorough penetration testing across web applications, APIs, mobile applications, network infrastructure, and cloud environments. Every engagement follows OWASP Testing Guide and PTES methodologies. Deliverables include executive summaries, detailed technical findings with proof-of-concept evidence, and remediation guidance that satisfies enterprise security questionnaires and compliance requirements.

Cloud Security Assessment

With the majority of US companies running workloads on cloud platforms, our cloud security assessments cover AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. We evaluate IAM configurations, network security, data encryption, logging and monitoring, container security, and serverless security. Our assessments align with CIS Benchmarks and cloud provider security best practices.

HIPAA Compliance Readiness

For healthcare and health-tech companies handling protected health information (PHI), we provide HIPAA security risk assessments, gap analysis, and remediation consulting. Our team helps covered entities and business associates implement the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule.

vCISO Services

Our virtual CISO service provides fractional cybersecurity leadership for US startups and mid-market companies. A dedicated vCISO from eShield manages your security program, handles vendor security questionnaires, develops security policies, provides board-level reporting, and oversees compliance initiatives — at a fraction of the cost of a US-based full-time CISO.

Application Security

Our application security auditing services cover the full SDLC security spectrum. We perform source code reviews aligned with OWASP ASVS, SAST and DAST testing, API security assessments, and threat modeling. For SaaS companies, application security is often the most critical investment in building customer trust.

Why US Companies Choose eShield

US companies choose eShield for one compelling reason: we deliver the same quality cybersecurity services as top US firms at 40-60% lower cost. Here is why this works:

  • 40-60% cost savings — Our Dubai-based operations mean lower overhead without compromising on talent quality. You get senior-level consultants with the same certifications at significantly lower rates.
  • Same certifications as US firms — Our team holds OSCP, CISSP, CISM, CEH, and other globally recognized certifications. Your auditors and enterprise customers see the same credential quality.
  • English-first communication — All deliverables, reports, and communications are in professional English. Our consultants are fluent English speakers with experience working with US clients.
  • Timezone overlap with structured handoffs — Dubai is 8-9 hours ahead of US Eastern time. We structure engagements with overlap hours for meetings and real-time collaboration, with asynchronous work happening during our business day (your overnight).
  • No compromise on methodology — We follow OWASP Testing Guide, PTES, NIST CSF, and other industry-standard frameworks. Our penetration testing methodology is identical to what a top US firm would deliver.
  • Enterprise-grade deliverables — Our reports and documentation are designed to satisfy US enterprise security questionnaires, SOC 2 auditors, and compliance requirements. No translation or reformatting needed.

US Compliance Landscape

The US cybersecurity compliance landscape is complex and fragmented, with requirements varying by industry, data type, and jurisdiction. Here are the key frameworks US companies need to consider:

SOC 2 (AICPA)

SOC 2 is the most frequently requested compliance framework for US SaaS and technology companies. Enterprise buyers increasingly require SOC 2 Type II reports before approving vendor relationships. eShield provides full SOC 2 readiness consulting.

HIPAA

Healthcare companies, health-tech startups, and any organization handling protected health information (PHI) must comply with HIPAA’s Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. We help organizations implement required safeguards and prepare for OCR audits.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0

NIST CSF 2.0 provides a comprehensive cybersecurity framework widely adopted by US organizations. While voluntary for most private sector companies, NIST CSF is often referenced in contracts, RFPs, and security questionnaires. We help organizations assess their maturity against NIST CSF and develop improvement roadmaps.

FedRAMP

Cloud service providers selling to US federal government agencies require FedRAMP authorization. While eShield does not provide FedRAMP authorization services directly, we help organizations prepare their security controls and documentation for the FedRAMP assessment process.

State Privacy Laws (CCPA/CPRA, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut)

The growing patchwork of US state privacy laws — led by California’s CCPA/CPRA — creates data protection requirements for companies handling consumer data. We help organizations implement privacy-by-design principles and technical controls that satisfy multi-state compliance requirements.

PCI DSS

Companies processing, storing, or transmitting payment card data must comply with PCI DSS. We provide PCI DSS gap assessments, penetration testing aligned with PCI requirements, and remediation consulting to help organizations achieve and maintain compliance.

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)

Defense contractors and their supply chain must achieve CMMC certification to bid on Department of Defense contracts. We provide awareness and readiness consulting for organizations beginning their CMMC journey.

Industries We Serve in the US

SaaS & Technology

SaaS and technology companies are our largest US client segment. From Series A startups needing their first SOC 2 to established platforms requiring annual penetration tests, we understand the unique security challenges of software companies — multi-tenant architectures, API security, CI/CD pipeline security, and cloud-native infrastructure.

Fintech

Fintech companies face multiple overlapping compliance requirements — SOC 2, PCI DSS, state money transmitter regulations, and increasingly, federal oversight. We help fintech companies build security programs that satisfy multiple compliance frameworks efficiently.

Healthcare

Healthcare and health-tech companies must balance innovation with HIPAA compliance and patient data protection. We provide security assessments, HIPAA readiness consulting, and penetration testing tailored to healthcare environments including EHR systems, telehealth platforms, and medical device integration.

E-commerce

E-commerce companies face PCI DSS requirements for payment processing, state privacy law compliance for customer data, and web application security threats. We provide comprehensive security services covering payment security, application testing, and data protection.
