About us
MentalIT is a dynamic IT-company with the priority to build a safe and reliable digital landscape.
Our mission
MentalIT was founded on the philosophy of making technology a fruitful and useful part of our lives. Unfortunately, more and more problems arise, such as bugs, insecure authentication or access control, spoofing, ransomware, phishing, and other cyberattacks. MentalIT’s mission is to smooth out these unwanted cyber wrinkles as best as possible, so that the use of technology is easy, reliable, and safe for everyone. We strive to help make everybody aware of the dangers, and what they can do to prevent them, as well as help them on the more technical side.
Our values
In our vision, the use of technology rests on three pillars: the process, the technology itself, and the people. A triangular relationship where each cornerstone is equally important. That’s why we focus not only on technology, but also on the people themselves. We also want to educate them about the correct use, the right mindset, and the dangers of IT. In addition to our personal approach to our clients, we also place great importance on our own employees, because people remain the fundamental value behind technology.
“If technology is a tool for humans to use, than we want to safeguard the toolshed ”
