Small-business cybersecurity that speaks your language.
You don't need a security team or an enterprise budget to find out where you're exposed. Start with a free tool anyone can use, and add more only when you need it.
Whitetip: is this email a scam? Soon you can just ask.
Forward a suspicious email or text and get a plain-language verdict on whether it's phishing. We're putting the finishing touches on it now — join the waitlist to be first in line.
More than a checker.
Fixed prices, no lock-in, and answers you can act on. Pick the one that fits where you are.
Cyber insurance readiness
Insurers now ask hard questions before they'll cover you: multi-factor login, tested backups, endpoint protection, and more. We translate the questionnaire, find the gaps, and get you answer-ready, so you qualify for coverage and better rates.
Decision intelligence
Before you hire an executive, back a founder, vet a vendor, or put a witness on a stand, know what the public record says. We run deep research from publicly available sources only and hand you the full picture before you commit.
Web app penetration test
The offensive testing the big firms gatekeep, sized for a business. We attack your app the way a real intruder would, then hand you a plain-language report with a ranked plan to close what we find. Powered by Mako — join the waitlist to be first in line.
Common questions.
Do I need to be technical to use any of this?
No. Whitetip gives you a plain-language verdict on a suspicious message, and every report we write is meant to be read by a business owner, not a security engineer. If a finding matters, we tell you what it means and what to do about it.
How much does small-business cybersecurity cost?
Whitetip is free for individuals and $29/mo for a team of up to 20. Cyber insurance readiness starts at $1,500 as a one-time assessment. Web app penetration testing is by application while Mako is in development. No retainers, no lock-in.
What's the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
A scan flags things that might be vulnerable. A penetration test proves whether they actually are, by chaining weaknesses into a real attack the way an intruder would. We focus on proof, then hand you a ranked plan to fix what's real.
Do you lock me into a monthly contract?
No. Most local shops bundle security into an ongoing IT contract. We don't. You buy the specific work you need, once, with a clear price up front.
Are you actually local to Hawaii?
Yes. Byteshark LLC is based on Oahu and works with businesses across Hawaii, plus remote clients for the tools and research that don't depend on location.
