Garlik

Garlik provides an internet service helping companies and individuals to understand online identity theft and take steps to mitigate their vulnerability to it.

The company’s DataPatrol product provides comprehensive protection for a range of personal and financial information through an early warning system against possible identity theft and financial fraud.

Garlik is one of the first web-scale commercial applications of semantic web technology. Hailed as the core of the ’next generation’ Web, semantic technology adds context and meaning to data to provide simpler, more intuitive and richer Web experiences.

Garlik is headquartered in Richmond, UK. In May 2008, Garlik opened a New York office and secured an additional $5m in funding to boost its US launch.
