Shield Advocate
Your insurance carrier chose the incident response firm. Who is representing you?
After a breach, your carrier's panel IR firm works the incident and reports on the claim. They are capable professionals, but they are selected by and answer to your insurer. When they declare your environment clean, you are asked to take it on faith. Shield Advocate gives you what construction owners have always had when the stakes are high: an owner's representative. Independent, retained by you, accountable only to you.
We sit beside you
Weekly executive briefings in plain language, and a seat at every carrier and IR call - asking the questions you would not know to ask.
We verify the claims
When the IR firm says it is fixed, we check independently: persistence hunting, identity review, root cause verification. Every claim is tracked as Claimed Fixed or Independently Verified.
We document everything
A tamper-evident decision log and evidence vault build the record your board, your customers and your attorneys will want to see.
The Recovery Validation Letter
An independent written record of what we checked, what we were able to verify, and what remained unverified at the close of the engagement - backed by a hashed evidence package. It is the document your board, your customers and your broker have been asking for: not an assurance that nothing was missed, but a defensible account of who checked what, when, and on what evidence.
The Recovery Validation Letter describes what our review found within its defined scope. It is not a certification, a guarantee that no compromise remains, or an opinion issued under any assurance standard.
