Our Story: Built by Experts, Trusted by Organizations
HumanShield was born out of 10,000+ hours experience of training, consulting and implementing Cyber and Information security across companies from large enterprises to SMBs and startups. A realization that security tools and technology solutions alone cannot protect an organization but high-quality of human awareness towards security is the weakest and strongest link in the chain. It was also born out of the realization that good quality training content from experts has far more value and impact on learning outcomes than fancy features and platforms.
The Beginning: Why Security Experts Founded HumanShield
Our founding team started by delivering end-user security awareness at India’s largest private sector banks. As outcomes improved, those banks asked us to extend expert-led programs to technical teams – covering infrastructure, cloud, secure software development, databases, web applications, and privacy/compliance. That early trust shaped our conviction: real progress happens when practitioners teach practitioners.
Founded to Solve Real-World Problems
We sat with Boards, SOC teams, coached Product owners, trained developers, briefed Risk management leadership, HR, even facility managers – and everyone in between. The problems we illustrated through practical examples – social engineering, insecure defaults, privacy gaps etc – were relatable, not theoretical. HumanShield exists to solve those real-world problems by turning deep expertise into training that changes daily decisions.
Our Mission: Expert-Led Training for Everyone
Our mission is simple: make expert-led training accessible to everyone – from executives and senior management to product managers, developers, HR, customer service, and branch/frontline staff. Security is a people capability. We aim to raise that capability with role-based pathways that blend essential awareness with specialist depth where it matters most.
Company Milestones & Growth
From a handful of engagements to a multi-pillar portfolio, every milestone has reinforced our expert-first philosophy. As demand grew, our footprint expanded to bank vendors and into the wider SMB and startup ecosystem – especially technology companies building automation, AI, and banking software.
Early Customers Trusted Our Expert Approach
Our early customers – banks, fintechs, insurers, HR tech, and software firms – chose HumanShield year after year, training after training, for practical instruction that aligned with their systems, audits, and KPIs. They prodded us to develop self-paced e-learning content based on our classroom lectures. And when our first few e-learning modules delivered positive outcomes, it led to broader rollouts across departments and geographies.
Launch of Industry-First Expert-Led Platform
To scale what customers loved, we codified our expert modules into structured e-learning, layered on classroom/live options, and introduced phishing & social engineering simulations, awareness content & campaigns, and managed awareness services. The result is a cohesive, expert-designed platform that turns training into measurable behavior change.
Recognition as Leader in Expert-Led Training
Customers recognized the difference: expert-authored content over gimmicks. We have earned a reputation for role-specific pathways, practical delivery, reporting that satisfies audits, and combined it with flexible pricing models that fit both enterprises and SMBs.
Roadmap: Advancing Expert-Led Innovation
We’re investing in richer scenarios, multi-cloud security tracks, privacy-by-design and security-by-design programs, and adaptive reinforcement – always authored by practitioners. Our roadmap prioritizes impact over features, ensuring training remains expert-led and outcome-driven.
Product Innovation: Expert-Designed Solutions
HumanShield’s portfolio spans e-learning, classroom training, phishing & social engineering tools, awareness content, and managed services. Each solution is expert-designed to fit your operating model, with role-based paths, measurable goals, and reporting that supports compliance across enterprise and SMB contexts.
The Future of Expert-Led Security Awareness
Security awareness will keep evolving—but the core remains expert knowledge translated into everyday behavior. We’ll continue expanding role-specific depth, cross-functional programs (privacy, secure development, cloud), and outcome-based reinforcement, so organizations of all sizes can build a resilient, security-first culture.
