The #1 Cyber Awareness Platform for Seniors
GranGuard is dedicated to safeguarding vulnerable populations, particularly older adults, from scams and other forms of cyber fraud.
The Problem
Older adults often lack exposure to effective cyber awareness training, making them more susceptible to scams and other forms of cyber fraud.
The situation is made worse for seniors, who face ever-evolving scam tactics, greater dependence on online banking, and higher rates of social isolation.
Financial scams are now the most prevalent form of elder abuse.
Our Mission
Empower Individuals, with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize, respond, and report fraudulent activities.
Keep your grandparents safe

Frequently Asked Questions
We cover a wide range of security and cyber fraud topics specifically curated for older adults. We compile the latest data from FBI fraud reports to determine the most relevant risks in each demographic, then sort by location. During the signup process, we match this information to the details provided on your account to make sure you (or the family members you choose to sponsor) receive the most relevant training content.
So depending on your region and demographic, you'll see topics ranging from relationship scams, fake tech support calls, and password hygiene, to deepfakes, voice cloning, and multi-factor authentication.
That's absolutely okay. We understand the challenge and have several options to ensure your family member can still benefit from our content. If using a phone or tablet for the mobile app is challenging, we offer an online portal that can be accessed easily from a computer.
We can also send content directly to her email each month, making it convenient to stay updated. For those who prefer print media, we're also working on a GranGuard magazine, which will provide valuable information in a more traditional print format.
Our goal is to make cybersecurity education accessible and effective for everyone, regardless of their tech skills.
Absolutely. No hidden tricks or weird hoops to jump through to cancel. Simply cancel your account from the Subscription management page, give us a call, or send us an email if you need any help.
Absolutely, yes. Although we hope older adults will be coming through to sign themselves up, as millennial 'tech support' grandkids ourselves, we know it will probably be more caretakers, kids, and grandkids looking to sponsor an a older family member.
We've tried to make the 'sponsoring' process easy during signup, just by adding the email of the family member you have in mind.
