Respect in Security is a volunteer initiative, founded by a group of cybersecurity professionals, aiming to support companies and individuals with the process of addressing incidents of harassment. Although we are not in a legal position to make any person or organisation accountable for their conduct, we do demand that companies taking the Respect in Security pledge, make public a transparent and accessible process for victim support and resolution, and that they abide by that process in the event that an incident is reported.

We want all our work environments to be inclusive, where everyone can be the best that they can be, and feel safe and respected while doing so. We have a zero-tolerance approach to harassment to any person, in any form, and that is why we commit to the Respect in Security pledge.”
