Growth
Watch this space
We’re passionate about helping companies to securely connect with customers - Mailock is just the start. It turns out, we use email for pretty much everything we do online, which makes it uniquely tied to our digital identity. We've tamed the world’s most unsecured medium, now we're exploring what that could mean for a more secure future.
Our 'why?'
Identity drives us
Our digital identity is made up of all the footprints we leave in our online interactions. Organisations have a duty to protect the information they hold for customers, but many unknowingly expose data to unsecured channels, putting identity at risk.
Securing identity
Enter, Mailock
Mailock powers businesses to communicate securely using a standard email client. In the process, it protects customer identity, heightens customer engagement, and improves operational efficiency while helping to make a positive impact by reducing print and post.
