Mission starts from real loss
A close family incident exposed how devastating phishing can be for people without enterprise-grade security.

Why this company exists
Ṣọ began after a phishing incident caused serious personal and financial damage within our community. That experience made one thing clear: most people targeted by modern email scams are operating without accessible, practical defenses.
Our mission is to close that gap with clear, fast, and explainable protection that fits daily workflows rather than forcing users into security complexity.
Product principles
Explainability over black-box alerts
Every warning should tell users what was found, why it matters, and what action to take next.
Designed for smaller teams
Built for freelancers, founders, and lean teams that cannot run enterprise security operations.
Privacy-first architecture
Local-first analysis keeps sensitive inbox context under user control while still surfacing meaningful risk signals.
Practical security adoption
Deployment is incremental: browser first, then desktop and mobile, without workflow disruption.
