About Us

We Built the Defence
Small Offices Deserved

Office Guard was founded by security professionals who watched small medical practices, law firms, and real estate offices get devastated by email attacks — while enterprise security vendors ignored them. We built the solution they needed.

Our Story

Built From the Front Lines

In 2015, our founder Marcus Webb was the CISO of a regional healthcare network when a wave of ransomware attacks began hitting small physician practices across the Midwest. The attackers were not sophisticated — they were sending simple phishing emails and walking through the front door because nobody had trained the staff to recognise them.

The enterprise security tools Marcus used at the hospital were either too expensive, too complex, or simply not designed for a 10-person medical office. The vendors who did serve small businesses offered generic solutions with no understanding of the specific threats facing healthcare, legal, or real estate professionals.

Office Guard was founded in 2016 to fill that gap. We built a service that combines enterprise-grade email filtering with industry-specific training — delivered at a price point and complexity level that works for small professional offices.

Today we protect over 2,500 offices across all three sectors, and we have never lost sight of our original mission: give small offices the defence they deserve.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Focused on Small Offices

We do not try to be everything to everyone. We protect small professional offices — medical, legal, and real estate — and we do it better than anyone because it is all we do.

Transparent by Default

No black boxes. Every threat we block, every simulation we run, and every training module we assign is visible in your dashboard with plain-English explanations.

Protection Without Disruption

Security that gets in the way of patient care or client service is security that gets turned off. We design every service to run quietly in the background.

People-First Security

Technology alone cannot stop email attacks — people can. We invest as much in training your staff as we do in our filtering technology, because your team is your strongest defence.
