Keep one bad click from becoming a bad year.
AlignSHIELD adds recovery assurance, deeper visibility, and financial protection on top of AlignCORE, so an attack is contained, your data comes back, and your business keeps running.
Up to a $500,000 cyber warranty
Business continuity and disaster recovery
Monthly automated penetration testing
Sound familiar?
When protection alone isn’t the whole plan.
Your team works from everywhere
Home, the road, and branch offices all widen the door, and traditional VPNs weren’t built for it.
Could you be back to work tomorrow?
Backing up files isn’t the same as restoring whole systems. After ransomware or a failed server, recovery time is what costs you.
Vulnerabilities don’t wait for an annual test
New weaknesses appear every month, and a yearly sample only shows you a snapshot.
Insurers and customers want proof
Renewals and security reviews ask for logging, evidence, and recovery plans you may not have.
What changes
Contained, recovered, and covered.
AlignCORE already monitors, protects, and responds. AlignSHIELD adds containment depth, recovery assurance, and financial protection.
01
Safe access from anywhere
Secure Access Service Edge and Zero Trust Network Access enforce identity-driven policies wherever your people work, without relying on traditional VPNs.
02
Weaknesses found every month
Every Windows and macOS endpoint is tested automatically each month, with actionable reports, so exposures are closed before attackers find them.
03
Back in business after the worst day
Full business continuity and disaster recovery for every endpoint and server, so ransomware or a failed system means a restore, not a rebuild.
04
Every security event on the record
SIEM, IDS/IPS, and firewall logging give you forensic visibility and the audit trail insurers, customers, and frameworks like HIPAA, CMMC, and SOC 2 expect.
05
Incidents contained and endpoints recovered
Automated incident response contains threats with visibility into what happened, and endpoint recovery gets people working again.
Financial protection
Up to $500,000 in cyber warranty coverage.
Even the best defenses can be tested. AlignSHIELD includes a cyber warranty provided by Cork that helps cover recovery costs after a qualifying cyber incident, so leadership has financial assurance alongside technical protection.
The details
What’s included in AlignSHIELD
Everything behind the outcomes above, for the people who want the full list.
Financial protection
A cyber warranty of up to $500,000, provided by Cork, to help with recovery costs after a qualifying cyber incident.
Secure remote access
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) that enforce identity-driven security policies for remote and hybrid teams.
Continuous vulnerability testing
Automated monthly penetration testing of every Windows and macOS endpoint, with actionable reporting.
Logging and visibility
SIEM, IDS/IPS, and firewall logging, with enterprise-grade security event monitoring and compliance-ready audit trails.
Business continuity and disaster recovery
Full business continuity and disaster recovery for every endpoint and server, so whole systems can be restored after ransomware, device failure, or accidental data loss. This goes beyond the SaaS and file-level server backup included in AlignCORE.
Already in AlignCORE
AlignCORE already includes 24x7 SOC-monitored XDR and EDR, privileged access management and identity threat detection, an enterprise password vault, micro-segmentation, network access control, elevation control, and SaaS and file-level server backup. AlignSHIELD builds on all of it.

Questions
What people ask first.
What does AlignSHIELD add to AlignCORE?
AlignCORE already includes continuous monitoring, detection, and response, plus privileged access management, segmentation, network access control, and SaaS and file-level server backup. AlignSHIELD doesn’t replace any of that. It adds secure remote access, monthly automated testing, centralized logging, full business continuity and disaster recovery, and financial protection.
Is AlignSHIELD a separate product?
No. It’s an add-on that builds on AlignCORE. Everything in AlignCORE stays in place.
What does the cyber warranty cover?
It helps cover recovery costs after a qualifying cyber incident, subject to the warranty terms. We walk through the details during your consultation.
We already have AlignCORE. How do we add it?
Talk to your account team. AlignSHIELD layers onto your existing environment, with no rip and replace.
