Following their success in the 2020 Global Excellence Awards, we got in touch with Founder Scott Helme to find out more. ounded in 2015 to take the pain out of monitoring security policies like CSP and others, Report URI is a constantly evolving platform designed to help you monitor what’s happening on your website in real-time, so any issues can be rectified. To start, Scott provides us with a brief overview of the firm and the typical client base it serves. “We are a real time application security and health monitoring platform, allowing website operators to quickly and easily enable modern browser security features that feedback telemetry to our service. By monitoring this telemetry, a website operator can identify security and performance issues that their visitors are experiencing. “Currently, our customers include small websites with hundreds or thousands of visitors all the way up to some of the largest websites in the world ranked in the Alexa top 1,000. Working with clients such as NatWest, RBS, Virgin Media and NHS England has brought a range of different challenges and we are keen to continue working with such established names.” Established to be the best real-time security reporting service, not much has changed in regard to the firm’s values as they look to maintain their position in the market. Scott added “Our goal is to allow website operators to quickly and easily enable some of the best security features available in modern web browsers. With security protection in place and the ability to be alerted to issues in real time, websites can deliver a safer browsing experience to their visitors.” With so many companies able to offer similar services, trying to distinguish themselves from their competitors can be quite a challenging task for the firm. However, as Scott explains further, with extensive experience in the field of real-time security and so many innovative products available, they can focus on delivering real value for the client. “Report URI was one of the first, and currently largest, platforms of its kind. Having worked with an extensive range of different websites, our focus is on making access to modern security an option for all websites.” One of the firm’s innovative solutions, ‘DMARC Monitoring’ has proved to be a popular hit with their clients, as the tool allows you to monitor how reliably your emails are being delivered and detect fraudulent emails that are sent and claim to be from your organisation.

The future looks bright for Report URI, so if we can keep hold of the clients we’ve got and build connections elsewhere then that for us will resemble success.” Mar20287 “Report URI was one of the first, and currently largest, platforms of its kind.
