What SOShield does

SOShield is an India-based cybersecurity vendor headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, founded in 2020 with a stated headcount band of 11-50 employees. The company sells a platform-plus-services stack centered on SOSD-AI, an AI-powered Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) product that performs data discovery, classification, and risk assessment across cloud, SaaS, and database environments. SOSD-AI is paired with six managed security service lines covering threat detection, data protection, security auditing, incident response, security training, and cloud security, and the company markets 24/7/365 SOC operations from India.

The platform integrates with 100+ external systems across hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), enterprise SaaS (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack, Zoom, ServiceNow, Atlassian, GitHub), and databases (Oracle, SAP, MySQL, MongoDB). SOShield claims to apply AI techniques including natural language processing for phishing detection, computer vision/OCR for document analysis, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics, processing 2.5B+ events daily with stated 99.9% detection and 99% client satisfaction metrics. The integration breadth functions as the platform's connector strategy and a switching-cost lever once customer environments are onboarded.

SOShield targets regulated Indian enterprises and government buyers under a "Make in India" data sovereignty positioning, addressing BFSI, Healthcare, IT/ITES, Government, Manufacturing, and Retail segments. Revenue mechanics are not disclosed; the mix of a DSPM platform with managed services implies a SaaS-plus-services model with enterprise contract sizes and multi-year terms. The company asserts a global client base, but no named customers, leadership team, funding history, partnerships, or independent performance benchmarks are available in the supplied material, which limits due diligence depth.
