About Garlik
We are increasingly participating in activities online, leaving a trail of personal information behind making us vulnerable to identity fraud.
How much of your personal data is really out there and more importantly, just who has access to it? With tales of identity theft and online fraud filling the media, internet users have newfound concerns that their personal, sensitive and financial information will be stolen, lost or abused. Garlik aims to give consumers real power over where their information appears online and provides services to protect this information.
Garlik was founded by Mike Harris, founding CEO of Egg plc, former Egg CIO Tom Ilube, and former British Computer Society president Professor Nigel Shadbolt. As the first company to develop a web-scale commercial application of semantic technology, Garlik enables consumers to find and understand what personal information is in the public domain about them and manage how their identities appear online.
Garlik has appointed a panel of world-class ID protection and technology experts to advise the business including Professor Wendy Hall CBE from the University of Southampton, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web, Simon Davies, director of Privacy International and Daniel Cooper, renowned privacy lawyer with Covington & Burling.
Garlik is backed by three of the UK's leading blue chip investment firms, 3i, Doughty Hanson and Noble Venture Finance. Recently Garlik was selected as 2008 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, Davos.
