Independent audits · Senior Tier 3 · US-hosted Lavawall®
Pass the audit. Lower the premium.
Sleep at night.
ThreeShield is the independent, senior security team behind whoever runs your IT, for lean IT departments, MSPs, and organizations that have to prove where their data lives and who can touch it. Your IT people handle the day-to-day, and they're good at it. We add three things: CISA-led audits that surface 200+ findings where a scan finds a handful; Tier 3 security, cloud, and IT support for the moment something's weird or an auditor shows up; and the Lavawall® platform, hosted in the US, watching all year.
CISSP & CISA led · 200+ findings, government & Fortune 50 methodology · US-hosted Lavawall® · CJIS-eligible US staff · BBB accredited
What we actually sell
You're not alone anymore.
When you leave for vacation, you worry. When you present to management, you worry. When the insurance renewal lands, when an auditor asks for evidence, when Microsoft changes something overnight, when a user says "something weird happened," you worry, alone. Lavawall® watches while you're away, and ThreeShield picks up when it needs a human. You take real vacations. Weird things get a second set of senior eyes. That's the product.
Start where you are
Three ways to work with us
I run IT
Senior support behind your IT
You run IT day to day, and you're good at it. We're the senior security team behind you: independent audits, penetration tests and vulnerability assessments, PCI DSS and other compliance, and the people you call the moment something's weird or an auditor shows up.
For lean IT departments →I run an MSP
White-label Tier 3, never a competitor
CISSP/CISA escalation under your brand, with written rules of engagement. We grew out of an MSP, and we don't go around partners. Ever.
For MSPs & partners →My data has to stay in the US
US hosting and cleared people
Lavawall® on US infrastructure, operated by pre-screened, FBI-fingerprinted, US-based US persons who are eligible for CJIS. The right fit when a contract or a regulator requires US data residency.
Talk about US data residency →Why one partner
Stop paying three vendors to do one job.
Most organizations juggle a compliance platform, a consultant, an auditor, and a support provider, and nobody owns the result. ThreeShield does all four in one relationship, so findings get fixed.
Real audits, not checklist scans
CISA-led reviews using government and Fortune 50 methodology. They typically turn up 200+ findings where automated scans surface a handful.
Continuous visibility via Lavawall®
Patching, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection, file monitoring, and GRC evidence, running all year instead of only at audit time.
Hands-on remediation
We don't hand you a report and disappear. The team that found the problems fixes the critical ones with you.
Compliance that sticks
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, NIST CSF and 800-171, CIS, ISO 27001, and NERC CIP, built into your daily work instead of sitting in binders on a shelf.
The platform behind the people
Powered by Lavawall®, on US soil
ThreeShield built Lavawall® because the tools we audited kept missing what mattered. It patches 7,400+ applications, watches Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for breaches, monitors your files, and automates compliance evidence. Our senior team watches the results.
For organizations that need it, your Lavawall® tenant runs on US infrastructure, so the data and its processing stay in the United States, and the people who operate it are US-based US persons.
How we work
From first look to year-round security
1. Free 30-minute consultation
You talk to a senior person, not a salesperson, and get a free Lavawall® domain scan. If you need more, our in-depth vulnerability assessments (our core service, typically 200+ findings) are scoped and quoted before any work starts.
2. Visibility in minutes
Lavawall® connects to endpoints, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and your domains, so you see what we see.
3. Fix what matters
We run a deep audit if you need one. Either way, we prioritize and fix the critical items with your team, not around them.
4. Stay strong year-round
Tier 3 escalations, compliance upkeep, and quarterly reviews. The platform watches continuously, and real people respond.

Common questions
Before you call
- We already have an IT company. Is this awkward?
- Not at all. Many of our clients already have an IT company or an IT person, and much of our work comes to us through IT companies. We work alongside them, not instead of them: they keep running your IT, and we add independent audits, senior security help when something goes wrong, and Lavawall®. We don't sell managed IT in the US, so we never compete with them. If your IT company wants to see our rules of engagement, they're written down and public.
- How is this different from hiring a vCISO?
- A vCISO gives you strategy without execution. ThreeShield gives you strategy, the platform, audit execution, compliance delivery, and hands-on support, all for less than a single senior hire.
- Where is my data, and who can touch it?
- US-hosted Lavawall® runs on US infrastructure, so your data and its processing stay in the United States. The people who operate it are pre-screened, FBI-fingerprinted, US-based US persons, eligible for CJIS and other US data-residency requirements.
- Do you work across the US?
- Yes. Audits, assessments, Tier 3 support, and compliance work are delivered remotely across the United States, with on-site work scoped when an engagement needs it.
