SafeStack | About

We are SafeStack

We believe that everyone has a right to be secure.

We help organisations big and small keep their data, systems and people safe whilst building innovative products to save small security teams time and resources.

Our Values

SafeStack prides itself on being a socially responsible and pragmatic company. We operate in line with a set of values.

Never sell on fear
The world is already a scary place.
Selling based on fear and uncertainty is unethical and exploits people when they are most vulnerable.
SafeStack will never use fear to sell its services and solutions.
Give back to the community
Everyone benefits when communities are well supported.
We all have a part to play in supporting them through funding and active participation.
SafeStack will continue to find ways to support and contribute to our communities.
We are stronger, together
Security is hard enough already without trying to do it alone.
By sticking to what we know best and working with others we can do much more.
SafeStack will partner and collaborate whenever possible.

Founded in Auckland, New Zealand on August 24th 2014, SafeStack Limited is a privately owned boutique security company.

We offer a range of services and solutions to help organisations manage their security risk without getting in the way of growth or innovation.

With a rapidly growing client list and dynamic and innovative range of solutions, SafeStack is gaining a reputation for being a refreshingly pragmatic approach to information security at a time where the world needs it most.
