Challenge

In 2024, ChurchShield suffered a significant ransomware attack that halted operations and jeopardized sensitive client financial data. Their existing Managed Service Provider (MSP) did not provide proactive detection, advanced prevention, or rapid incident response capabilities. The limitations of traditional MSP security left ChurchShield vulnerable to sophisticated and evolving cyber threats, necessitating a comprehensive, security-first approach to protect their clients and business continuity.

Results

By migrating to viLogics TSO365, ChurchShield gained a resilient cybersecurity posture built on Zero Trust principles and 24/7 monitoring. With advanced endpoint detection, real-time risk management, and integrated security awareness training, they experienced daily and weekly security reporting, immediate insurance qualification for $1.5M coverage within five days, and restored peace of mind for leadership and partners. All service guarantees were met or exceeded, positioning ChurchShield as a trusted financial services provider for faith-based organizations.

“Everything they promised, they delivered. Everything they guaranteed has come through. To anybody currently using an MSP, an MSSP, or an MSP that has bolted on cybersecurity services, I would highly recommend you look at the viLogics TSO platform. It’s very cost-effective and delivers a much higher level of cybersecurity protection. I would give nothing less than 5 stars to viLogics—you will not be let down.”

About your Customer

ChurchShield is a faith-based financial services provider supporting hundreds of churches with payroll and accounting services. The organization is responsible for safeguarding sensitive financial information for its clients.

The Challenge

In 2023, ChurchShield, Noblesville, IN, a faith-based financial services provider serving 250-plus churches, faced a critical threat when a ransomware attack disrupted daily operations and exposed sensitive client financial information. Their traditional Managed Service Provider (MSP) offered limited cybersecurity capabilities, lacking proactive threat detection, advanced prevention tools, and effective incident response. As cyber threats grew in sophistication, ChurchShield recognized that its existing MSP could not provide the required protection services it needed for its clients or maintain the new regulatory compliance requirements; the risk was high to the business continuity and reputation.

The Solution

Recognizing the urgent need for a modernized security posture, ChurchShield began evaluating cybersecurity solutions that are fundamentally designed from the ground up as a zero-trust architecture to meet today's evolving threats. After considering various providers, Chad Schavey and team selected viLogics TSO-365 for its comprehensive, Zero Trust architecture and fully integrated managed capabilities. The TSO365 platform provided advanced endpoint detection and response, remote monitoring, anti-phishing protection, security awareness training, and a 24/7 virtual Security Operations Center (vSOC). Schavey shares, "Everything they promised, they delivered. Everything they guaranteed has come through. To anybody currently using an MSP, an MSSP, or an MSP that has bolted on cybersecurity services, I would highly recommend you look at the viLogics TSO platform. It’s very cost-effective and delivers a much higher level of cybersecurity protection. I would give nothing less than 5 stars to viLogics—you will not be let down." With seamless onboarding and dedicated support, ChurchShield quickly established a security-first environment, restoring trust for both leadership and clients.

The Results

After implementing viLogics TSO-365, ChurchShield immediately benefited from a proactive, Zero Trust cybersecurity framework with daily and weekly security reporting. The organization quickly qualified for $1.5M in cyber insurance coverage, with approval in just five days—a testament to their enhanced security posture. With 24/7 monitoring, rapid incident response, and ongoing security awareness training, ChurchShield saw a dramatic reduction in risk, increased operational confidence, and improved regulatory compliance. The fully managed solution allowed ChurchShield to focus on supporting their faith-based clients, knowing that their sensitive data and business operations were protected by industry-leading cybersecurity infrastructure now.
