    Experience complete security across your digital life.
    Guardio protects every part of your digital life across your browser, email, accounts, and devices. It detects and blocks scams, phishing attempts, malicious sites, and harmful downloads before they cause harm. With real-time alerts, proactive monitoring, and cross-device sync, Guardio keeps your browsing and personal data safe without slowing you down.
    Designed for Chrome and seamlessly synced with the Guardio mobile app, Guardio provides protection across devices. Both solutions operate continuously and update automatically. Users can access 24/7 email support. 
    
    How It Works
    • Install the Guardio browser extension
    • Run a quick security checkup to scan for risks
    • Choose a plan that fits your needs
    • Recommended: Download the Guardio mobile app for full cross-device protection
    
    What’s Included
    Free (Basic) plan:
    • Fake website alerts in your browser
    
    Premium plan includes:
    • Real-time blocking of phishing, scam, and fake AI-generated sites
    • Email and account monitoring across desktop and mobile
    • Protection from malicious and risky downloads
    • Identity monitoring for up to 5 email addresses
    • Easy-to-understand overview of your security status
    • Guidance to fix issues and stay protected
    • Critical security alerts when severe threats are detected
    • Identity theft helpline (U.S. only)
    • $1 million identity theft insurance (U.S. only)
    • 24/7 customer support via email
    • VIP security specialist support (select plans)
    
    Cross-Platform Coverage
    Guardio protects your identity, accounts, and devices with real-time threat blocking and intelligent monitoring, wherever you are.
    • Real-Time Protection: Active scam and phishing protection while you browse on Chrome or use your mobile device
    • Email & Account Monitoring: Get alerts about breaches, weak account settings (like missing 2FA), and suspicious activity, visible on any device
    • Critical Alerts: Guardio connects the dots across your online activity to highlight urgent risks, so you know when it’s time to act
    • Mobile Features: Scam text filtering (iOS only) and full visibility into your protection status, on the go
    
    Why Guardio
    Guardio doesn’t just block threats. It gives you visibility into your online exposure, alerts you when action is needed, and helps you take control of your digital safety, no deep technical knowledge required.
    • USA TODAY (Jan 2025): “Guardio provides a comprehensive cybersecurity experience that goes beyond traditional protection… ensuring a smooth and secure online experience.”
    • PCMag: “Perfect phishing protection.”
