693                            <h2>Our History</h2>
694<p>Our company launched in 2016 after both founders nearly fell victim to home burglaries. We felt vulnerable and defenseless, and we wanted our families to feel safe again. At that point, searching for home security systems online only yielded disorganized information from inexperienced enthusiasts. In our experience, door-to-door security salespeople pushed expensive packages that didn&#8217;t match our needs. We believed there was a better way to learn about home security trends, products, and services, so we set out to create it ourselves.</p>
695<p>Equipped with detailed spreadsheets, product comparisons, and other insightful resources, we built a website focused on in-depth research and honest advice from security experts. Our mission is clear: help everyday people navigate the overwhelming world of home security. We utilized new technologies to originate innovative tools that make finding the right security and safety options simple. We even developed a proprietary scoring system called <a href="/securescore/">SecureScore™</a> and expanded SafeHome.org into other safety and security categories. Overall, our vision is to become the premier source for reliable and trustworthy advice on security and safety.</p>

For instance, a product with a SecureScore™ of 9.5 is far superior to a product with a SecureScore™ of 6 or 7. In assigning a SecureScore™, our experts take into account customer service, value, equipment, features, tech, and ease of use. Our SecureScore™ is the most accurate and objective way to rank an option, and it allows readers to see how a particular option will perform at a glance.</p>

This coverage also includes home automation options, as these systems often interconnect with home security systems. We also conduct research and create rich resources on identity theft protection services and medical alert systems for seniors.

1106                                    <p>Great question! We simply want people to feel more safe and secure in their everyday lives. With so many stressors in life, it’s nice to have peace of mind with the things you <i>can</i>
1106 control. These things include installing home security, recovering your identity if it’s stolen, keeping an aging parent safe with an alert system, and more. Our goal is to remain the most trustworthy resource for learning your safety and security options.</p>

1122                                    <p>Unfortunately, we cannot cancel your security service. We only research and present your options. We&#8217;re not the provider of your service. If you want to cancel your service, you will have to contact your security company. Most companies offer online cancellation options through their customer portals, but some still require a good old-fashioned phone call. They should be able to cancel your service and provide assistance with whatever you need. Search online for your provider&#8217;s name and call their customer service number for more information.</p>
