Mission

SMB Shield Hub helps small and mid-sized teams reduce preventable security failures with specific, sourced, actionable content.

Sourcing standards

• Prefer primary sources: NIST, CISA, FTC, vendor documentation, and peer-reviewed industry reports
• Link to sources readers can verify; avoid "studies show" without a citation
• Do not invent statistics, quotes, or case details
