At BlackDice our solutions are geared to one core purpose: building trust in a connected world. In this blog post, we interviewed our CEO Paul Hague, and COO Sarah Hague, to delve into the essence of our brand purpose and explain how it shapes our mission, values, and customer-centric solutions.
Understanding Trust
In the connected realm, trust is the assurance that our personal information, sensitive data, and online activities are safeguarded from unauthorised access, malicious attacks, and breaches. With cyber threats evolving and becoming more sophisticated, establishing and maintaining this trust has become a daunting challenge for everyone. As a cybersecurity solutions company, we partner with telecom providers and recognise the pressing need to protect the diverse range of customers they serve – from small to medium-sized businesses to residential users.
“Trust to us also means building credibility on a foundation of knowledge, relationships and interactions with our industry, peers, and customers. We will educate our customers about potential risks, best practices, and emerging trends in cybersecurity. Through informative content, we will empower individuals and organisations to make informed decisions and stay ahead of cyber threats”.

Our Purpose Explained
Our brand purpose lies in the commitment to build trust in a connected world because we believe that individuals, families and businesses deserve to have safe, secure and privacy-preserving interactions within the digital world.
“In present times, connectivity and digital interactions have become an integral part of our lives, so ensuring security is more crucial than ever,” says Paul. “That’s why we exist. Our brand purpose revolves around addressing this challenge head-on. We are driven by a mission to empower our customers with robust cybersecurity solutions that not only protect them from potential risks but also inspire confidence and trust in their daily lives. Our aim is to provide a secure foundation upon which businesses and individuals can build and thrive in a connected world.”
