What goes into your score

Your security score isn't a guess. It's calculated from real signals about your household, and it updates the moment something changes.

  • Weak or reused passwords

    Weak, reused, or breached passwords pull your score down until they're fixed.

  • Two-factor authentication

    The more of your accounts protected by a second login step, the higher your score climbs.

  • Device coverage

    Every device in your household that isn't secured yet shows up as a flag on your score.

  • Backup recency

    An old or missing backup counts against you. Recent backups don't.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Answer then secure

    Briefly tell us about your household and devices. Then our advanced technology will scan your network for gaps in security.

  2. Step 2: Get your security score

    The CyberShield platform scans your wi-fi network and checks your household's overall internet safety. Then the platform gives you one clear number that reflects your home's cybersecurity.

  3. Step 3: Follow the guided fixes

    Work through numbered steps at your own pace and watch your score climb as your home gets safer. Or leverage our concierge team to implement on your behalf.

Frequently asked questions

What is CyberShield?
CyberShield is a home cybersecurity service for Mac and Windows that checks a family's devices, passwords, and Wi-Fi, then gives a single 0–100 security score with a prioritized, plain-English to-do list to fix what it finds. It's based on the book Cybersecurity for Everyday People by Greg Tomchick.
How much does CyberShield cost?
CyberShield is $49 per month, or $499 per year (a savings of $89, about two months free).
What platforms does CyberShield run on?
CyberShield is a desktop service available for macOS and Windows.
Is CyberShield based on a real book?
Yes. CyberShield is built on Cybersecurity for Everyday People by Greg Tomchick, and every fix the service recommends maps back to a chapter in the book.
Do I need to be technical to use CyberShield?
No. CyberShield is designed for non-technical households: setup takes about two minutes of questions, and every fix comes as numbered, jargon-free steps anyone can follow.
How does CyberShield check for data breaches?
CyberShield checks whether an email address has appeared in a known data breach using the Have I Been Pwned database, then walks you through what to do next if it has.
How is CyberShield different from antivirus software?
CyberShield doesn't scan for malware. It covers the human side of home security - weak or reused passwords, breached accounts, an unlocked Wi-Fi router, risky privacy settings, and family security habits - and is meant to complement antivirus software, not replace it.
What does CyberShield do with my data?
Only what it needs to keep your home safe. CyberShield never sells your data, never asks for the passwords to your other accounts, and has no ads or tracking cookies. You're always in control: ask for a copy of your data or a correction any time.
Is CyberShield available to everyone right now?
Not yet. We're onboarding households through a guided setup - contact us for a demo and we'll talk through your household's needs.
