Newsrooms. Targeted by everyone. Defended like everyone.
Your CMS, your wire integrations, your journalist devices, your AI-content pipeline — every one is a target. Safeguard ships on-device Lion for journalist devices, signed CMS provenance, C2PA AI-content attestation, and sovereign deployment for at-risk publications.
Industry pressures.
Nation-state targeting of journalists
Pegasus-class mercenary spyware and APT-class adversaries target newsrooms and individual journalists continuously. The device is the supply chain.
CMS supply-chain risk
WordPress, Drupal, and modern headless-CMS plugins are continuously exploited. One plugin breach, every story exposed.
Subscriber data + GDPR/DPDP
Subscription PII at scale. GDPR, CCPA, DPDP enforcement makes a breach legally expensive and reputationally lethal.
Deepfake + AI content authenticity
Deepfakes and AI-generated content both threaten the publication and risk being mistaken for editorial output. C2PA provenance becomes table stakes.
How Safeguard fits.
Journalist-device on-device Lion
On-device inline scanning catches malicious plugins, suspicious entitlements, and known surveillance-tool artifacts. No source-material ever leaves the device.
Signed CMS + wire-integration provenance
Every CMS plugin update, every wire-service integration, every editorial-tool release attested. Drift surfaces as an alert before it ships.
AI-content C2PA attestation
AI-generated images, AI-summarisation outputs, and AI-translation runs all carry C2PA provenance. Audit trail end-to-end.
Sovereign deployment for at-risk publications
Newsrooms operating under authoritarian pressure can run Safeguard inside their own sovereign tenant. No foreign-jurisdiction exposure.
Compliance alignment.
Reference architecture.
Journalist device tier
Lion bundled into the journalist's primary device. On-device inline scanning of code editors, CMS clients, and chat clients.
CMS + wire signing
Editorial CMS and every wire-service integration signed and provenance-tracked. KEV alerts route to the security team within the hour.
C2PA pipeline
Every AI-assisted output passes through a provenance attestation step. Photo edits, AI summaries, AI translations — all carry the chain of custody.
Sovereign option for at-risk newsrooms
Publications working under hostile pressure run their tenant inside their own sovereign deployment. No cross-jurisdiction data exposure.
Where the risk lives today.
Journalist device compromise
Pegasus and similar tools target reporters working on sensitive stories. On-device detection + signed-software baselines close the path.
CMS plugin compromise
JS-supply-chain attacks regularly hit publishing plugins. Reachability ranking surfaces the ones that actually matter.
Wire-service vendor breach
Wire-service vendors aggregate stories before publication. A breach there is a pre-publication leak.
Deepfake injection into editorial
Adversaries inject deepfaked sources, photos, or transcripts into editorial workflows. C2PA + provenance closes the surface.
Current threat landscape.
Pegasus-class journalist device targeting
