About ShieldIQ

A small team. With the scars to show for it.

ShieldIQ Cyber Services is a Dublin-based cybersecurity consultancy and software maker. We work with SMEs that need the protection of a mature security programme but don't have the budget (or the patience) for enterprise-scale consulting.

Matt has 25+ years in cybersecurity, working with Fortune 100 companies and startups. He holds a PhD in Digital Security & Forensics, speaks regularly at industry conferences, and sits on advisory boards across the security community. He founded ShieldIQ because SMEs deserve the same calibre of security leadership that large enterprises take for granted.

What we stand for

The principles we actually apply.

Plain English

No jargon. Everything is written for the person who has to act on it, not the person filing the audit.

🔒

Security by default

Our infrastructure, our tooling, and our own operations meet the standards we ask of our clients.

Fixed-scope pricing

Outcomes and costs agreed up front. No surprise day-rate invoices, no endless discovery phases.

⚙️

Vendor-agnostic

We're not a reseller. Our recommendations serve your posture, not a referral margin.
