- Ref 1 [1] Routine appointment. Press release
- Ref 2 [2] Press release.
- Ref 3 [3] Listing profile.
- Ref 4 [4] Owasp landing page. Nothing to do with company. Fake.
- Ref 5 [5] Standard Paid for report. PR. Advertisement
- Ref 6 Companies House record. Non-rs
- Ref 7 [6] Funding news. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:CORPTRIV
- Ref 8 404
- Ref 9 [7] Funding news. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:CORPTRIV
- Ref 10 Funding news
- Ref 11 Funding news
- Ref 12 404. Its partner details. Fails WP:ORGIND
- Ref 13 404
- Ref 14 Funding news.
So not a single reference in the first block passes WP:NCORP. Not one. scope_creepTalk 13:29, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
