ID Incognito
Companies have information they want to protect. We should know — we've spent over 25 years helping
them do exactly that! As individuals, we also have information we want to protect. ID Incognito was
developed to help meet this need. The service provides phone and email aliases to hide your real contact
information from marketers and vendor registrations online.
Working like a P.O. Box for your phone and email, ID Incognito aliases receive text messages and emails on
your behalf, and forwards them to your real contact info (if you want). If you reply, the service receives
the replies and forwards them for you, so your real phone number and email address remain confidential.
Services
Our specialties are data protection, privacy, and information security. We are experts at real-time information security & network management, analysis, and reporting for any size application and most commercial hardware platforms, including mobile and cloud computing platforms. We build security, privacy, reliability, and scalability into every application we create.
Software Development Consulting
We have decades of experience working with both small and large companies to deliver innovative, high
quality products that range from small, purpose-built software components to distributed, world-class
enterprise software solutions.
We are able to cover all phases of product development, from development
infrastructure planning, to product roadmap, architecture and design, to implementation, project
management, quality assurance and product marketing and delivery.
We provide organizational flexibility,
efficient project management and creative software solutions, always with the goal of providing the
highest quality service, on-time.
Information Security Consulting
We've been computer security experts longer than the world wide web has been in existence! Our
experience has shown that competent information security involves more than just technology; it also
requires solid process and talented people.
We can come alongside existing staff to provide insight and guidance in Security Information and Event
Management (SIEM), defense-in-depth, regulatory compliance, integration of multiple security controls,
and incident management and reporting.
We realize security goals must be aligned with core business goals, so we work closely with our clients
to ensure their specific information security and privacy needs are met.
Let's Talk!
It all begins with an email or a phone call. Contact us and we'd be happy to explore the best ways we can apply our software and security expertise to your project!
