DFW CyberShield protects businesses across all of North Texas — from downtown Dallas to the Las Colinas energy corridor, Plano's corporate belt, Fort Worth's defense sector, and everywhere in between. Enterprise-grade security. Local team. Guaranteed response.
We don't treat Fort Worth as a footnote or Plano as "greater Dallas." Every major market gets a dedicated presence, localized threat intelligence, and a team that understands that city's specific risk profile.
Home to our SOC. Protecting financial firms in Uptown, healthcare in the Medical District, and tech companies across the city. Dallas's density of Fortune 500 HQs makes it the region's highest-value target.
Cybersecurity Dallas →Fort Worth is its own metro — not a suburb. Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter, NAS Fort Worth, and a massive manufacturing corridor demand a cybersecurity partner who understands CMMC and OT/ICS security.
Cybersecurity Fort Worth →Plano's Legacy Business Park and corporate corridor houses some of the most valuable data assets in North Texas. Toyota North America alone represents billions in IP worth protecting.
Cybersecurity Plano →Las Colinas is North Texas's energy and Fortune 500 concentration point. OT/ICS security, operational resilience, and executive protection for the companies that power the region.
Cybersecurity Irving →Richardson's Telecom Corridor is one of the most critical technology infrastructure zones in the South. Network security, supply chain integrity, and telecom-specific threat intelligence.
Cybersecurity Richardson →Every service delivered by analysts who live here. No offshore SOC. No ticket queues. A Dallas-based team with boots on the ground across the entire Metroplex.

Founded in 2018 by former NSA analysts and enterprise security architects who called Dallas home. We got tired of watching DFW businesses get oversold and underprotected by out-of-state firms that couldn't find Las Colinas on a map.
Our SOC is in downtown Dallas. Our analysts drive the same highways you do. When you have an incident at 3am in Fort Worth or a compliance deadline in Plano, you're calling someone who knows the terrain — not routing through a help desk in another timezone.
Seven years later, we protect over 380 DFW businesses across all seven major markets in the Metroplex. Every client gets a dedicated local account team, not a ticket number.
★★★★★"When ransomware hit our Fort Worth manufacturing plant on a Sunday night, DFW CyberShield had an analyst on-site within 90 minutes. They contained it before a single production line was permanently affected. No other firm could have done that."
★★★★★"Toyota's vendor requirements are intense. DFW CyberShield got our Plano operation SOC 2 certified in four months and then maintained our compliance posture going forward. Worth every dollar."
★★★★★"As a Lockheed supplier in the CMMC pipeline, we needed a firm that actually understood NIST 800-171. DFW CyberShield's team had done it dozens of times. We passed our assessment with zero POAMs."
We serve the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving (Las Colinas), and Richardson (Telecom Corridor). Our team operates on-site and remotely across all of North Texas. On-site response anywhere in Dallas or Tarrant County within 2 hours, guaranteed.
DFW CyberShield offers the full spectrum: managed detection & response (MDR), 24/7 SOC monitoring, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, compliance consulting (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, SOC 2), incident response, and security awareness training — delivered by analysts based in Dallas, not an offshore help desk.
Fort Worth is its own market with its own threat profile — defense contractors (Lockheed, Bell Helicopter), NAS Joint Reserve Base, heavy manufacturing, and a distinct business community. We treat it as a primary market with dedicated local knowledge, not a satellite of Dallas.
For most DFW small-to-mid-size businesses, managed cybersecurity runs $1,500–$8,000/month depending on employee count, number of endpoints, and compliance requirements. A basic MDR package for a 25-person office starts around $1,500/month. A full managed security program for a 200-person company with compliance needs typically runs $5,000–$8,000/month. Penetration tests are priced per engagement at $5,000–$25,000 depending on scope.
Yes. Our services are fully aligned with the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) (effective July 2024) and Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act. We help DFW businesses stay compliant with Texas state law as well as federal frameworks including HIPAA, GLBA, and CMMC.
Three things: (1) Our SOC is in Dallas — not New Jersey. Analysts know the local landscape. (2) We have specialized knowledge of DFW's distinct industries — defense contracts in Tarrant County, energy infrastructure in Las Colinas, healthcare in the Medical District. (3) Guaranteed 15-minute response SLA and 2-hour on-site anywhere in the Metroplex.
Most DFW businesses are fully onboarded within 2–4 weeks. Week 1 covers asset discovery and environment assessment. Week 2–3 is agent deployment and SIEM integration. Week 4 is tuning and go-live. For compliance-heavy engagements (CMMC, HIPAA), the initial gap assessment takes an additional 2–3 weeks.
Our SLA guarantees 15-minute remote response for all severity levels. For critical incidents requiring on-site presence, we guarantee 1 hour in Dallas County and 2 hours anywhere in the DFW Metroplex including Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, and Richardson. We maintain a 24/7/365 on-call rotation staffed by Dallas-based analysts.
Yes. Every DFW business gets a free 30-minute risk assessment that includes an external attack surface scan, dark web credential exposure check, compliance gap snapshot, and industry-specific threat profile. There is zero cost and zero obligation. We typically deliver the report within 3–5 business days after the initial call.
We specialize in healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (PCI-DSS/SOC 2), defense/aerospace (CMMC), oil & gas/energy (OT/ICS), legal, technology/SaaS, and manufacturing. Each sector has a dedicated practice area with analysts who understand that industry's specific compliance requirements, threat actors, and operational constraints in the DFW context.
Yes. We are a CMMC Registered Practitioner (RP) organization with 40+ successful CMMC Level 2 assessments for Fort Worth and Tarrant County defense contractors. We handle the full CMMC journey: gap assessment, NIST 800-171 implementation, System Security Plan development, and C3PAO assessment preparation. Typical timeline from gap assessment to assessment-ready is 4–8 months depending on current maturity.
We work with DFW businesses from 10 employees to 2,000+. Our sweet spot is 25–500 employee organizations that need enterprise-grade security without building an in-house SOC. We currently protect over 380 DFW businesses across all seven major Metroplex markets.
Our SOC operates 24/7/365 from our downtown Dallas facility. There is no "after hours" — cybercriminals don't keep business hours and neither do we. Every alert is reviewed by a human analyst, not just automated triage. Night and weekend coverage is staffed by the same senior analysts who work weekdays.
