About SmishAlert
We built the protection we wished we'd had.
SmishAlert started with a simple frustration: we watched social engineering reach people on the one device security still can't see into — their phone — and there was nothing there to stop it. So we built something that actually helps the person holding the phone first.
Where it started
We were sitting in the annual security awareness training at a $30B private equity fund. Every year the same slides, and every year the same reality: employees were getting hit by social engineering over text and messaging — fake CEOs, payroll lures, help-desk cons — and there was nothing actually standing between the attack and the person. Awareness training told people to be careful. Nothing was there to catch it in the moment.
So we built it
We built something we wanted for ourselves — and then put it on our own phones, and on our family members' phones. It had to be genuinely useful to a real person holding a real phone, not a compliance checkbox. In the early days we sold it as a consumer app, and that principle still anchors everything: the app should help the user first.
Helpful first, then powerful
That's still the difference. For an employee, SmishAlert isn't one more app to worry about — it quietly blocks the junk and the dangerous stuff, and every message it flags is a small, real-time lesson in spotting the next one. It reinforces the awareness training you already pay for, in the exact moment it matters.
And then it protects the business
Because it helps each person, it ends up protecting the whole workforce and the company behind them. One report anywhere hardens the defense for everyone. For MSSPs and MSPs, that turns a channel nobody could cover into a clean 'yes, we cover that' — mobile messaging, on any phone, without reading anyone's texts.
The team
We're based in Dallas, working with security leaders and business owners across financial services, professional services, healthcare, and HR/payroll — and with the MSSPs and MSPs who protect them. We respond to our own support tickets. When you work with us, you're working with the people who build the product, run your pilot, and deliver your readout.
