About Protectiv
A cybersecurity startup headquartered in the Philippines, building products for digital investigations and API security.
Why We Exist
Built in the Philippines. Designed for the world.
Protectiv is a cybersecurity startup based in the Philippines. We build products for digital investigations and API security for teams worldwide.
We started Protectiv to build tools around real security workflows, not generic dashboards. Our products are shaped by the needs of investigators, defenders, and teams working with exposed application surfaces.
Today that means two product directions: investigations and API security.
OSINT.ph helps investigators, law enforcement teams, and security professionals trace digital footprints across more than 20 online sources. Salag is our API security product, built for organizations that need better visibility and control over the APIs they expose and depend on.
Being early-stage keeps us close to the product and the people using it.
Protectiv is built in the Philippines and designed for teams anywhere serious security work gets done.
How We Think
The principles behind how we build, ship, and stay focused.
Build the Product
We build the products ourselves and stay close to how they're used. The details matter, and so does getting them into the hands of people who will actually use them.
Local Signal, Global Use
The Philippine threat environment is fast-moving and practical. It keeps us close to the kinds of abuse, fraud, and investigation problems security teams face everywhere.
Honest About Where We Are
We're a growing company. We're transparent about our scale, our capabilities, and our roadmap. We'd rather under-promise and over-deliver.
Startup Pace, Product Focus
We ship in small, useful increments. As a startup, focus matters more than ceremony.
Founders
Two people, with two long careers, betting on the same company.
