Introduction

Our Why

At Shieldlytics, we believe in the endless pursuit of innovative solutions to protect our most vulnerable populations.

Our Approach

Develop affordable, user-friendly, and security-hardened applications that empower organizations to achieve far-reaching impact.

Our History

We have a track record of developing personnel who began with no prior experience in intelligence, data analytics, and solutions development. Many have since established successful careers in highly regarded and competitive government agencies and other industries.

Why Us

For nearly 20 years, our team members have consulted on and developed software applications, intelligence tools, and analytics programs for the federal government and law enforcement.

Why Now

Expanding beyond consulting services, we are building software applications with our team of experts, making them accessible to all organizations—public, private, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
