Who We Are
Templar Shield is a specialized risk, security, identity and AI governance advisory firm helping organizations operate with confidence in an increasingly automated, AI-driven world. We work at the intersection of cybersecurity, enterprise risk management, operational technology, identity, and AI - designing programs that don’t just document risk, but actively surface, prioritize, and reduce it across IT, OT, cloud, and emerging AI systems.
Our teams partner with organizations to discover what truly exists, understand how assets, models, access, and controls intersect, and continuously translate that visibility into action - whether that’s hardening exposure, enabling compliant AI adoption, or aligning security investments to real business outcomes. Governance and enablement are not opposites in our world; they are designed together.
We deliver flexible engagement models - advisory, transformation, implementation, and ongoing operations - built on platforms like ServiceNow, Veza and Armis, integrated with best-of-breed technologies. The result is living programs that adapt as threats, regulations, and business strategies evolve, rather than static point-in-time solutions.
Templar Shield has partnered with more than 100 Fortune 1000 companies and public-sector organizations, particularly in highly regulated and critical infrastructure industries. Our work helps leaders move faster with AI and digital transformation - without losing control, trust, or resilience along the way.
We provide various service options for your business needs, including advisory, integrated risk transformation consulting, operations, and technical solutions.
We have partnered with over 100 Fortune 1000 companies and Government Entities, driving innovative integrated risk and compliance solutions across numerous business functions.
