FutureSafe is proud to announce our partnership with Phalanx, the creators of ShieldWolf—a powerful data protection tool designed to encrypt and secure sensitive files across cloud and endpoint environments. As of 2024, FutureSafe is now a distributor of Phalanx, officially managing ShieldWolf licenses for MSPs and integrating it into our curated cybersecurity bundles.
We don’t do one-off tool sales. If it doesn’t fit the stack, it doesn’t get sold. But ShieldWolf made the cut—and here’s why.
Why ShieldWolf?
Data lives everywhere. That means data risk lives everywhere too.
ShieldWolf by Phalanx brings automated encryption, granular access control, and real-time visibility to the files your clients rely on every day—without disrupting workflows. Built specifically for MSP and MSSP environments, it delivers:
- Always-on encryption for both desktop and cloud storage
- Multi-tenant management across client environments
- Granular permissions and audit trails for compliance and accountability
- Seamless integrations with tools like Google Drive, Outlook, MS Teams, SharePoint, and more
- Support for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR—compliance without added complexity
ShieldWolf makes it simple for MSPs and MSSPs like FutureSafe to deliver enterprise-grade security without the usual complexity. Together, we’re helping clients stay protected with seamless, proactive data protection that fits right into their daily operations. — Ian Garrett, Co-Founder & CEO, Phalanx
MSPs don’t need more manual policy work. They need tools that actually work in the background and protect what matters. That’s where ShieldWolf thrives.
From Demo to Distribution: How We Got Here
We first crossed paths with Phalanx back in 2022. By 2023, we were in active partnership conversations, and in early 2024, we sold our first ShieldWolf licenses. Since then, the feedback has been promising—MSPs are seeing real value, and we’re expanding this relationship to something bigger.
This partnership is still growing, and though we’re not yet bundling Shield Wolf into our existing offers, we are focused on its seamless integration into the security ecosystem. Our main goal is to ensure that MSPs have access to a reliable encryption solution that makes their job easier and more secure.
Why This Matters for MSPs
ShieldWolf is MSP-first by design. That means fast deployment, centralized control, and features that don’t get in your way.
Here’s what you get:
✅ Zero disruption – Encryption happens silently, without slowing users down
✅ Faster onboarding – Single sign-on and minimal lift
✅ Visibility – Know who accessed what, when, and from where
✅ Revenue-ready – Bundle it into your services to retain clients and unlock new revenue
MSPs need security tools that are effective, easy to manage, and built to scale with their clients. ShieldWolf gives partners the visibility, control, and automation they need to stay ahead of threats — without adding more work to their stack. — Austin Garrett, Co-Founder & CTO, Phalanx
Need compliance-ready encryption for legal, financial, or healthcare clients? Done.
Got clients working remotely and sharing sensitive docs? ShieldWolf’s got them covered too.
Looking Ahead
The partnership between FutureSafe and Phalanx is still in its early stages, and while we are currently distributing Shield Wolf, we are actively discussing how we can better integrate it into our broader security solutions. As we continue to work together, we will look at future co-marketing opportunities and explore custom feature requests to meet the evolving needs of MSPs.
The goal is to expand Shield Wolf’s capabilities and continue providing MSPs with a robust, scalable data protection tool. Stay tuned for more updates as we refine our collaboration.
We’re just getting started with Phalanx. As we integrate ShieldWolf into more of our client solutions, we’re focused on growing the partnership and aligning our roadmaps. We’re excited about the potential to develop new features and deliver even greater value to MSPs through enhanced security solutions. — Jason Whitehurst, Chairman & CEO, FutureSafe
