Fraud Protection

Not just a box ticked.

Fraud protection isn't a checkbox here; it's a founding argument. We'd far rather the intrusion fails at its first step than sell you a report about the money you lost.

We wrote the book

Literally: Speaking Up on Telephony Risks, posted to every large UK business when we published it. Ask us for a free copy. Our fraud research has been published openly since 2014 and is read by the world's largest telecoms companies.

And we run it, live

200+ real-time controls on every account, network-wide CLI screening, DNO blocking inbound and outbound, and balance protection. Included, not sold as an extra - because fraud tolerance shouldn't be a revenue line.

STIR/SHAKEN, signed with your own certificate

Got your own STIR/SHAKEN certificate but not the infrastructure to sign your own calls with it? We'll sign them for you, using your certificate - your calls carry your verified identity, not ours.

Running Hosted instead? That works differently - see Hosted PBX for how.
