What Cyber Conduct is

Cyber Conduct is an independent cybersecurity platform focused on practical, understandable guidance for everyday digital problems. Whether you have received a suspicious message, clicked something you should not have, lost access to an account, or simply want to understand a cybersecurity risk, the goal is to help you take the next sensible step.

Why it exists

Cybersecurity information can be difficult to understand when you are already dealing with a stressful situation. A lot of information is written for technical audiences, while the person affected often needs a much simpler answer: what happened, what does it mean, and what should I do now?

Cyber Conduct exists to close that gap with calm, practical and accessible guidance.

Who it is for

Cyber Conduct is for anyone who uses technology and wants help dealing with digital problems. That includes teenagers, adults, parents, older users, families and small-business owners, regardless of their technical experience.

What we provide

The platform provides practical incident guidance, cybersecurity tools, a suspicious message checker, resources and South Africa-focused information about common scams, account security, privacy and other digital risks.

Cyber Conduct and Cyber Conduct Insights

Cyber Conduct and Cyber Conduct Insights serve different but connected purposes.

Cyber Conduct is where you come when something has happened and you need practical help working out what to do next.

Cyber Conduct Insights goes deeper, with explainers, stories and practical articles designed to help you understand cybersecurity and stay informed.

Privacy matters

Cyber Conduct does not require visitors to create an account or sign in to use its core resources. We aim to collect only the information that is genuinely necessary for a specific purpose.

We also do not ask people to submit passwords, PINs, one-time passwords, banking credentials, recovery codes or other sensitive account information through the website.

An independent project

Cyber Conduct is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with another platform, organisation or service unless explicitly stated.

The information provided is intended to help people understand cybersecurity risks and make more informed decisions about their own digital safety.

Financial transparency

Cyber Conduct is currently provided without financial gain. If the way the project operates changes in the future, we will be transparent about the introduction of paid services, commercial activities or other changes that may affect how people interact with the platform.
