We provide SAFE SQUARE services to selected organizations that need security support but lack the budget. Within an agreed scope, part or all of the cost can be met through social contribution — volunteering, donation or sharing knowledge.
Early-stage startups, independent teams, nonprofits, and schools face the same attackers as everyone else. As technology and threats advance, the gap keeps widening — and places that can't afford the security they need become new blind spots. Pay It Forward offers another way to meet the cost.
Teams running a live product or service without dedicated security staff. A comprehensive Security Health Check offers a practical starting point.
Organizations that handle donor information and program data with limited security budgets. We help reduce the risk of a cyberattack disrupting their work.
Educational institutions and developer/security communities can also use our training programs through Pay It Forward.
Participants receive the same standard of service as any other client. In return, we agree on a practical contribution that reflects the scope of support and can be completed responsibly.
We discuss your situation, the security support you need, and a contribution that fits your capabilities.
We document the service scope, the contribution, and a realistic completion period.
Performed to the same standard and quality as for paying clients.
Complete the agreed contribution and share the outcome where appropriate, helping the program reach its next participant.
There is no single format. We define an appropriate contribution together based on your expertise, circumstances, and capacity.
Development, design, translation, teaching — helping those in need with your expertise
A donation matching the service value, to an agreed charity or foundation
Open-source contributions, published lessons learned, community talks & mentoring
Community volunteering — or passing the help you received on to another organization
* The type, scale, and completion criteria are agreed during consultation. Eligibility and the number of participants may vary with SAFE SQUARE's service capacity.
Assessment, validation, and training — used without the budget barrier.
Skills, donations, or knowledge sharing that pass the value on.
The fee is met through an agreed contribution, not money.
The capability we've built — people and AI together — reaches the places that need it. One security engagement leads to pro bono work, a donation, or shared knowledge, and that contribution supports another community in turn.
