ABOUT US

IDCARE is the national identity and cyber support service. We are a not-for-profit charity that was formed to address a critical support gap for individuals confronting identity and cyber security concerns. This gap requires specialist Identity & Cyber Security Case Managers and Analysts that apply a human-centered approach to identity and cyber security. This means we place at the centre of everything we do the concerns and needs of the individual, not the technology or process.

IDCARE as a registered charity does not ask individuals to donate or pay for our front line services. We are not a charity that can receive tax deductible donations. We rely on organisations that care enough about you to care about us to keep our charitable service going. Proudly, these organisations are displayed below on every page.
If you are asked for payment from someone claiming to be from IDCARE, please report this to us using our Report Phishing email.
