We like brands, companies and organisations that do the right thing. They are for good. They want to help. Their product or service is helpful, is useful and goes some way to fight the bad in the world, and let’s face it, there is way too much of that right now.
So, we are also going to try and do the right thing. We are a startup, a fledgling business and one which has not got endless reserves and pots of cash. But, we strongly believe that by helping people we can develop a loyal customer in the future…

We have seen time and time again that organisations who don’t act, even with intelligence we’ve come across ourselves, leave themselves open to tremendous risk.
Charities at increased risk
A new threat report published by the NCSC reveals why the charity sector is particular vulnerable to cyber attacks, the methods used by criminals, and how charities can best defend themselves.
“More charities are now offering online services and fundraising online, meaning reliable, trusted digital services are more important than ever. During the Ukraine crisis, we saw more criminals taking advantage of the generosity of the public, masquerading as charities for their own financial gain.”
Lindy Cameron, NCSC CEO

Just one set of compromised credentials is it all takes. Imagine, if you will, knowing when a user has been compromised and so you can act and secure the account. Imagine seeing an alert, almost in real time, where some of your data has been posted on a dark web forum.
Intelligence means you can do something about it.
Please do share this far and wide – we want to help! 🙂
