Building the Global Human Firewall
We empower people and organisations to by building what we call the Global Human Firewall — a movement to create informed, resilient digital citizens. Our team delivers cutting-edge education, training, and strategic advisory services to schools, businesses, and governments.
From deepfakes, cyberbullying and online grooming to digital footprint awareness and ethical tech use, we tackle the real-world risks people face online and we do it through practical, relatable content that drives lasting behaviour change.
We're here to make digital spaces safe......not someday. Now.
We Didn’t Just Join the Online Safety Education and Risk Management Movement. We Helped Create It.
Before TikTok went viral. Before “social media addiction” was a headline. Before AI started cloning your face and hijacking your voice—
we were already building the frameworks for managing digital risk.
Founded in 2008, what is now Safe on Social is the world’s first consultancy solely dedicated to social media risk management and education. Long before digital trust became a corporate priority, we were advising governments on “this new thing called Facebook” and helping shape the safety protocols others now follow.
From a Wild Idea to a Global Force
We’ve grown from a single idea into a global leader in online trust, psychosocial risk, and digital risk strategy. Our impact speaks for itself.
Our Track Record:

-
Led Australia’s first eRisk Review for 52 schools in 2017 now a governance benchmark used by over 350 institutions.
-

Trusted by corporate boards, elite sports organisations, and entire industries to embed training, governance, and policy at scale.
What is Human-Centered Technology Risk Management?
In a world where algorithms shape opinions, data predicts behaviour, and tech decisions ripple into real lives, traditional risk management isn’t enough. Human-Centered Technology Risk Management puts people at the core, recognising that every digital product, platform, and policy affects real emotions, relationships, mental health, and social dynamics.
It’s not just about preventing data breaches or downtime. It’s about stopping manipulation, addiction, bias, exploitation, and harm before they happen.
We help organisations:
-
Identify where technology intersects with human vulnerability
-
Understand how users are influenced, nudged, or exposed to harm
-
We teach digital, privacy, algorithm, and AI literacy so people can stay safe, think critically, and take back control online.
Because when you manage risk with humans in mind, you don’t just reduce liability you create tech that’s ethical, resilient, and future-proof.
We’ve recently had Safe on Social work across our system of 56 schools with school leaders who specialise in Child Protection. Safe on Social's comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the field has been of huge benefit to growing the capability of our staff to help better tailor the supports we’re providing to students and families in our schools to manage social media.
Safe on Social presentations were interactive and engaging and the flexibility of delivery has enabled us to deliver high quality professional learning across our whole organisation.

Safe On Social's practical advice resonated strongly with our people, who were eager to know how to better understand the emerging risks and challenges of keeping themselves and their loved ones safe online.
Safe On Social's straight-talking approach, practical examples and advice, plus their willingness to address sensitive issues kept the audience fully engaged.
We received wonderful feedback about the presentation from our team, which in turn has sparked further conversations on how we can improve cyber safety at home and at work.

Unlike some of the talking heads who tend to dominate the conversation around young people and the online world, Kirra works tirelessly at the coal face - she doesn't just talk about kids, or at them, she works WITH them.
In fact, she talks to tens of thousands of teens every year across Australia (and, might I add, she makes a point of also visiting the smaller rural towns who usually can't access quality presentations).She's my go-to cyber advisor. I just love sharing the work of those who truly champion our kids.
