About Us

We founded and built an entire company on one question. What is secure? It’s the very question we ask ourselves every time a big online service is compromised, or when we see news reports about email leaks.

We believe that every individual is unique, that their identity is valuable and worth protecting and that every business we work with is just as concerned about the identity of it’s clients, customers and employees as we are.

We believe that you can live anywhere and work everywhere. Your background and experiences are what make you who you are, but they shouldn’t limit your ability to grow. And that security should enable growth, not hinder it.

We are constantly evolving, because technology is constantly changing. And the best way to keep up with changing technology is to place education at the core of our business. Being able to share the latest insight and expertise is our gateway to building trust and attracting the right customers.

We believe anyone can revolutionize the world, so long as they are willing to ask what is secure.
