The submission describes a standard cybersecurity consulting firm but suffers significantly from low credibility and exaggerated claims. While the services offered (Penetration Testing, ISO27001) have real-world utility, the claim that 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone' are factually incorrect for a niche B2B consultancy. Verifiable traction is minimal (obscure web presence, likely <$100k annual revenue based on lifetime 'marketcap' data), and the response quality is poor due to lack of specific evidence.
