Internet Cleanup Foundation

Verify safety independently

Sensitive information is transmitted over the internet in vast quantities. Organizations that are asked to store this information feel the need to create intuitive services that allow citizens an other entities to easily access and manipulate the data: usually over the internet as this is super convenient. With storing and handling sensitive information comes the obligation to do that responsibly. In many cases the owner of the data is asked to trust those organization, blindly or implicitly.

Our mission is to remove blind trust and assumptions rom of the equation: everybody should be able to determine themselves if their data is handled responsibly.

Creating the tools to do so

The Internet Cleanup Foundation develops tools that helps the public in making sure that organizations which are required to protect information of others are doing their job.

All our tools are open, transparent and are (supposed to be ;) ) easy to roll out in other countries.

Hundreds of issues solved and counting

Our main project is Fail Map: a map that shows security issues at governmental and related organizations.

We believe that if the government and related organizations are forced to do their job properly, they will also demand such from their partners and other entities handling sensitive data.

By using the judgemental term "failure", organizations are quicker to respond to their failure. Combined with the extremely clear visual aesthetic of the map, anyone can determine who is doing their job.

Below is an (outdated) example of the fail map of The Netherlands, just prior to public release. Note that there is no green on the map, since no organization is doing it right...
