Enterprise-Grade Security for Your One-Person Operation
You're a consultant, freelancer, or remote operator handling client data with no IT department. Palatarge Individual gives you what companies buy for their employees: a human security team watching your computers 24/7, encrypted DNS defense, and automatic backup — for $59 a month.
Your Clients Trust You With Their Data. Who's Watching Yours?
One compromised laptop can mean breached client files, a drained business account, or a reputation you spent years building — gone in an afternoon.
No IT department
Big companies have security teams triaging threats around the clock. Solo operators have… themselves, after hours, Googling error messages. Individual is that missing team: analysts who isolate ransomware at 3am while you sleep.
Hostile networks are your office
Coffee shops, coworking spaces, airports, client guest Wi-Fi — your "office" is every network you don't control. NetShield encrypted DNS and perimeter defense protect your connection everywhere you work.
Your livelihood is on that drive
Client deliverables, contracts, financials, portfolios. Unlimited Vault backup runs silently with zero-knowledge encryption — if hardware dies or ransomware hits, your business comes back.
Everything in Individual — $59/month
Up to 2 computers (Windows or Mac). No hardware to buy, no settings to manage.
24/7 Live Security Team Threat Intervention
Real analysts monitor process behavior on your machines around the clock. Suspicious encryption, a malicious script, a connection to a criminal server — they step in, isolate the machine, and neutralize it. You get a clear summary, not a panic attack.
NetShield Encrypted DNS & Perimeter Threat Defense
Phishing lures, lookalike login pages, and malware delivery domains are blocked before they load — on any network, including the café Wi-Fi you're on right now. Encrypted DNS also keeps your browsing private from network snoopers.
Unlimited Vault Cloud Backup
Continuous backup with zero-knowledge encryption — files are encrypted on your computer before they leave it, so only you can read them. Hardware failure, theft, or ransomware: your work is recoverable.
Silent Maintenance & System Update Automation
Security patches and system updates handled quietly in the background. The unpatched vulnerability is one of the most common ways solo operators get compromised — this closes that gap without interrupting your work.
Add PrivacySync Identity Defense (+$49/mo) — data broker removal across 750+ registries plus dark web surveillance, for consultants whose name and address are their business.
"I Already Have a VPN. Why Do I Need This?"
A VPN encrypts your traffic — it doesn't watch your computer. It won't notice ransomware encrypting your files, it won't block the phishing domain in that "client invoice" email, and it won't restore your data after an attack. A VPN is a locked tunnel; Palatarge is a guard walking the tunnel with you. Most security-conscious remote workers end up with both, because they solve different halves of the problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need managed cybersecurity if I already use a VPN?
+
A VPN encrypts your traffic in transit, but it doesn't stop malware already on your machine, block phishing domains, or respond when ransomware starts encrypting files. Palatarge Individual adds what a VPN lacks: 24/7 human analysts watching your computer's behavior, encrypted DNS that blocks malicious domains before they load, and automatic backup. They solve different problems and work well together.
Is Palatarge Individual good for working from coffee shops and coworking spaces?
+
Yes — that's exactly the scenario it's built for. Public and shared Wi-Fi exposes you to snooping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Individual includes NetShield encrypted DNS and perimeter threat defense that protects your connection on untrusted networks, plus 24/7 monitoring that catches anything that slips through.
What computers are covered?
+
Up to 2 computers running Windows (10 & 11) or macOS — typically a laptop plus a desktop. Coverage includes 24/7 live threat intervention, unlimited Vault cloud backup, and silent system maintenance on both machines.
I'm a consultant. Can I tell clients my systems are protected?
+
Yes. Individual gives you genuine managed protection to stand behind: 24/7 human-monitored endpoint defense, encrypted DNS filtering, and zero-knowledge encrypted backup. For formal documentation needs — like cyber insurance questionnaires or client security reviews — see Palatarge Executive Defense, which includes a Technical Controls Due-Diligence Summary.
Can I add identity protection to the Individual plan?
+
Yes. The PrivacySync Dual-Adult Identity Defense add-on (+$49/month) brings data broker removal across 750+ registries and dark web surveillance to any plan, including Individual.
