Helping clients separate benefit from risk.
Winsafe was founded in 1986 after a buyout of the technology assessment of the National Computer Centre. The mission of Winsafe was, and is, to help clients separate benefit from risk with regard to the use and exploitations of new technologies in general and digital information and communications technologies, content and services in particular
Clients are typically investors, finance directors or decision taker requiring an objective third party appraisal as to whether a business or market opportunity, product, service or policy proposal merits their serious consideration and/or support.
Regular clients in the past have included the National Computing Centre, The High Tech Unit of Barclays Bank, The Parliamentary IT Committee, the European Informatics Market and Reed Elsevier.
Members of the Winsafe consultant panel operate to strict codes of impartiality and have given evidence to and/or been retained as specialist advisors to select committees, government departments and ministers.
