Miaan Digital Security Help Desk

Internet freedom for Iranians

Website

The Miaan Digital Security Help Desk supports internet freedom by providing continuous 24/7 service to manage immediate threats like account takeovers or device seizures. This rapid response is essential for activists, media groups, and civil society organizations facing targeted attacks.

By containing attacks and restoring security quickly, we ensure that these high-risk actors can continue their missions. Support includes forensic investigations and post-incident reporting to identify attack methods, which aids in remediation and advocacy for digital rights. Additionally, the help desk conducts device security audits to detect hidden spyware or anomalies.

Miaan Digital Security Help Desk's services are paired with proactive digital wellness checks that evaluate an organization's ability to withstand threats. By providing actionable recommendations and implementing secure policies, Miaan helps organizations move from reactive to proactive security. This holistic approach reduces human-related risks and builds a culture of safety, allowing those relying on digital assets to navigate evolving threats. Support is accessible via Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.

How your donation helps

Unrestricted funding would allow Miaan to expand its 24/7 help desk, providing critical support to more marginalized and at-risk communities, including ethnic minorities, women, activists, and journalists. These resources would enable us to track malware and cyber attacks more closely through enhanced forensic investigations and device audits, identifying hidden spyware that threatens internet freedom. Additionally, we could scale our proactive wellness checks and tailored training to build long-term digital safety cultures within these groups, moving them from reactive responses to real-world, organization-wide protection against evolving threats.
