GET Safe Online, a globally recognized leader in online safety resources, has unveiled its ground-breaking “Check a Website” service in Caribbean nations, including Guyana.
This newly introduced service, accessible at www.getsafeonline.gy/checkawebsite/, empowers individuals and businesses to navigate the digital landscape securely by verifying the legitimacy and safety of websites before engaging with them.

In today’s digital age, where online activities have become an integral part of our daily lives, the importance of ensuring the safety and authenticity of websites cannot be overstated. With the surge in cyber threats, users require tools that assist them in making informed decisions and safeguarding their personal and financial information.
The “Check a Website” tool, offered by Get Safe Online, provides users with a user-friendly platform to evaluate the credibility of websites they plan to visit. By simply entering the website’s URL, users can obtain instant information about its safety status and potential risks within seconds. The tool employs a sophisticated algorithm to generate a trust score based on over 40 data sources and thousands of reports on malicious websites from law-enforcement agencies, regulators, and consumer brands.

Tony Neate, CEO of Get Safe Online, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to introduce the “Check a Website” service to Guyana. As more individuals and businesses in the Caribbean Region embrace the digital landscape, it’s crucial that they have the necessary tools to protect themselves from online threats. Our service aims to provide users with the confidence to explore the internet safely, knowing that they are armed with the latest information about the websites they interact with.”

Mr. Christopher Deen, General Manager of the National Data Management Authority of Guyana, emphasized the significance of the new service, saying, “In an era where our lives intertwine with technology, safeguarding our digital assets and information has become crucial. As partners in this effort, we encourage every citizen and business to use this tool to verify the legitimacy of all websites you visit – especially those that require your personal and financial information.”

Get Safe Online’s campaign work in the Caribbean is set to resume, thanks to funding from the UK’s International Development Programme, provided by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office. The launch of the “Check a Website” service in the Caribbean aligns with Get Safe Online’s mission to promote online safety and security awareness in the Region. By providing users with the power of information, the organization seeks to create a safer online environment for everyone.
