Summary

Protect your digital online life and everything in it.

The Guardio browser extension blocks dangerous sites and downloads, flags malicious emails, and secures your online accounts, protecting you from scams, phishing attacks, financial fraud, and identity theft.

This powerful, easy-to-use security tool is also available as a mobile app, giving you protection across all your devices. It’s always on, always working, and always up-to-date. You can reach our security hotline or our customer support (manned by real people) 24/7. We don't spam you with needless communications - you’ll only hear from us when your security is at risk, and you need to act.

How does it work? • Install the extension on your browser - and we also strongly recommend you get the mobile app for security across all your devices. • Run a quick security check-up to see what security threats need immediate attention. • Sign up to Premium - which includes a 7-day no-strings-attached free trial. You can also get a more basic form of online protection by choosing to use Guardio on a free plan. • From then on, your digital security will be working in the background constantly.

What does it do? Wherever and whenever hackers and scammers come at you, whatever traps they lay across the internet, you’ll be safe. Click on a phishing link, open a fake shopping site, download a sketchy file from an email - Guardio will protect you from all of those threats and mishaps. And if hackers attack a company that’s holding your personal data, we let you know if your security or privacy has been compromised and what you need to do about it.
