Our Story
Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple – legal professionals do not have the IT expertise necessary to confidently solve IT-related legal problems, and IT experts lacked the legal knowledge to address complex IT-related legal problem. Thus, we were presented with the questions: do you make an IT expert a lawyer? or do you train lawyers to become an IT experts? It turns out there was a simple solution to this problem. By combining the awe-inspiring forces of the legal profession with that of IT, we are able to provide high-quality, IT law related solutions, within a set time-frame at a fraction of the cost big firms would charge for similar legal services.
The main purpose of Securance is to enable people and organisations to realise that Cyber Law should take up its rightful place in the global and national legal landscape. Ultimately, Securance’s business model is not complicated – we simply provide excellent services, within a set time-frame at a cost-effective manner.
