The wire transfer email. The cloned voice on the phone. The Friday afternoon scam.
AutoGuard watches what your team can't. The emails pretending to be your vendor. The phone calls pretending to be you. The login attempts at 3am. When something's wrong, we catch it before your team sees it. When you need to know, we tell you in one plain sentence. No dashboards to learn. No alerts to drown in.
Wire $42,400 to new vendor before 3pm. Urgent.
Every line above is a real attack pattern hitting small businesses this week. The kind no antivirus catches.

It looks like a real email. That's the point.

to Jane (bookkeeper)
Subject: Quick favor while I'm in meetings
Hey Jane,
I'm tied up in back to back calls today and tomorrow. Need your help on something urgent.
We have a new vendor sitting on the contract. Can you wire $42,400 to them this morning so we don't lose the spot?
I'll forward the routing details from my personal account in a minute. Get it done in the next hour if you can.
Appreciate you.

Red flag 1
The domain is almost right.
yourcompany-finance.co is not yourcompany.com. Most people miss this in 2 seconds.
Red flag 2
Urgency plus authority.
The boss is busy. The deadline is now. Your bookkeeper has to act before they can think.
Red flag 3
Personalized to the role.
It is addressed to the bookkeeper, not info@. We found her on your About page in seventeen seconds.
Red flag 4
The amount is forgettable.
$42,400 is small enough to not raise alarms. Most of these scams sit between thirty and seventy thousand.
Your scan generates the version of this email personalized to your business, your industry, and the employees a scammer can already find online.

The exact phishing email a scammer would send your team
“Hey Sarah, quick favor while I'm on site this afternoon. We need to wire the deposit to the new supplier today or we lose the price. Can you handle this before 3?”

Your report stays between you and us. No publishing. No sharing.
You have felt this before
Pick the one that hits hardest. That is the moment AutoGuard is built for.
Friday, 4:47 PM
It is your bookkeeper. “Hey, sent the $42,400 wire to the new supplier like you asked. Have a good weekend.” You never asked her to wire anything. You did not even know there was a new supplier.
A polite email
The email reads exactly like the others. Same signature, same tone, same sender. You forward it to accounting without a second thought. The new account number belongs to a stranger in another country. The first three payments are gone before anyone notices.
Your son shows you a video
You have a voicemail greeting on your business line. A LinkedIn page. A podcast appearance from last year. That is more than enough audio for the same trick to work on your team. The next call your CFO gets might already be yours.
None of these are stopped by your antivirus, your firewall, or your IT guy. The only thing that stops them is the person reading the message.
What an attacker already knows
All of this is public. AutoGuard pulls it together the same way an attacker would, then shows you what they see. No software to install. No access to your systems.
01
We scrape the same public sources an attacker uses. Your About page, LinkedIn, industry directories, press releases. Then we hand you the list. With names.
02
We cross check your team against every known data breach. If Jane reused her LinkedIn password on your payroll system, an attacker already has it.
03
We check the security settings on your email. If they are misconfigured, an attacker can send messages from your CEO's actual address. Right now. From a laptop in a coffee shop.
04
We generate a real, personalized phishing email aimed at the employees we found. So you see exactly what is coming before it comes.
What AutoGuard does
AutoGuard is the always-on defense layer for small businesses. Continuous, not one off. Behavioral, not technical. The shield between your team and every modern scam.
01
See
AutoGuard pulls together the public signals an attacker uses to target you. From there, we connect to your inbox, your team, and your vendors so the picture goes deeper than any scammer can. You always control what we see and when.
02
Watch
Email. Phone calls. AI voice clones. Vendor banking changes. Fake DocuSign requests. Smishing texts. AutoGuard sits between your team and the attempts that look real but are not. Before your bookkeeper replies, before your CFO returns the call, before money moves.
03
Train
When an employee almost falls for a real scam, AutoGuard knows. We deliver a three minute training the same hour, tailored to the exact lure they were targeted with. The next attempt finds them ready.

Common questions
Early access when AutoGuard opens. Waitlist members go first. We email you the day your spot is ready. We do not spam you in between.
No. AutoGuard is the continuous social engineering defense layer for your business. Phishing simulations are how we calibrate. The product is what protects you across every channel an attacker uses. Email, phone calls, voice clones, vendor banking changes, fake DocuSign, smishing, and whatever comes next.
We are letting customers in waves through 2026. The earlier you are on the list, the earlier you get in. We will email you when your wave opens.
No. AutoGuard works from your website URL. Nothing to download, no access to your internal systems, no work for your IT person.
You decide the timing and the tone of every simulation. Most owners pick an announced first campaign so the team understands why this exists. After that, surprise tests reveal who has actually learned the lessons.
Antivirus and firewalls block technical attacks. The scams stealing money from small businesses today are social, not technical. A CEO asking for a wire. A vendor changing their bank account. A fake IT password reset. No firewall blocks a polite email.
Owner operated businesses between one and five hundred employees. If your team handles email, money, or customer data, you are a target. The smaller you are, the less likely an attacker thinks you are watching.
Most teams do on the first round. The point is you find out now, on your terms, instead of finding out from a wire transfer that already left your account. Then we train the people who slipped.
Yes. You can grant your IT provider or MSP access to manage everything on your behalf, including approvals for simulations and remediation actions.
One last thing
Join the waitlist now. When we launch, you go first. We never email your team. We never share what we find.
