Privacy technologies

Championing technology that puts customers’ privacy first

For more than thirty years we’ve been keeping people safe in the digital world. But as the online world has changed, so have we. 

We recognize that living freely online today is about more than just cybersecurity. It’s also about privacy and identity. 

We draw on every ounce of our experience, insight, and expertise to build products that help our customers retain control of their data and who they choose to share it with.

Dedicated to protecting privacy 

Our customers are always at the centre of our privacy-by-design philosophy. Our dedicated Privacy Labs focus on innovation in the following three core areas:
