Our Story

As victim service providers in the digital age, we found ourselves repeatedly coming up against the same problem: Victims needed technology to survive and thrive - but that same technology was also being used to harm them. And we lacked the training and confidence to help.  

We tried working with a cybersecurity firm, but their trainings were too technical and sophisticated for us.  Next, we sought out training presentations for non-tech experts who work with victims, only to find they didn’t exist.  And that’s when everything changed.

We realized that the people harming victims today are rarely tech experts.

And that meant we didn’t need to be tech experts to act when someone is being harmed online or via technology.  So we got to work and began creating the exact tools and resources we needed by combining our victim service expertise with cyber safety best practices. The impact was immediate.

We discovered device and account risks.  We verified if a victim’s accounts were being monitored or their location was being tracked - and then made them safe.  We prevented future harm through technology safety planning. We amplified our outreach and prevention efforts for the digital age.  We identified future concerns around artificial intelligence and other technologies. And most importantly, we no longer felt disempowered in the face of technology-facilitated abuse.

We empower non-tech experts to navigate and address abuse in the digital age.

No techie jargon, just clear actionable guidance anyone can follow.  It’s why we are the go-to training partner for hundreds of nonprofits, colleges, courts, law enforcement agencies, the military, K-12 schools and other public and private organizations.
