This sort of thing makes me skeptical. It's like saying "there are a lot of bad guys out there, pay me and I will help you dodge them." But how do you know they aren't a bad guy and you're paying them to scam you?

Ultimately the best way for you to maintain security and privacy is to do it yourself. Second best way is for someone you trust to help you. Least good way is to trust some random website. This one seems to be hosted in Malaysia for what it's worth.

Totally agree, but what about normies who don't know much or have a friend to help? Cyber security is such a deep well that even a professional doesn't know everything

Maybe it's becoming more like medicine, where everyone needs to know the basics but have professionals for guidance?

Most of the things they have available to purchase, you could research and do on your own. Offering the crypto stuff is also off putting, since crypto (except for perhaps Monero) is not really private.

Their 'about us' says literally nothing about them.

Am I correct that their phone number is in Cambodia? If so, they (Cambodia) are using some tech from one of their northern neighbors. Maybe not the greatest place to be based.

I think that it provides for a loy of people who can't / don't know how to do these things for themselves. Not a bad menu of options in that case. Hopefully allows more people to access and use privacy systems.
