Censornet evolves into TrustLayer to simplify cybersecurity and strengthen partner growth

Basingstoke, 22 April 2025 – Censornet, the award-winning cybersecurity platform trusted by organisations worldwide, today announced its transition to TrustLayer.

This move reflects a broader strategic shift: to simplify operations, sharpen product focus, and build a stronger foundation for long-term growth. TrustLayer brings together the platform’s existing strengths under a new name — one that reflects its core mission: protecting every layer of a customer’s environment with greater clarity, speed and control.

The company remains privately held and founder-led, with an expanded leadership team that now includes Laura Harding (Head of HR and Legal), Abi Price (Head of Finance), and Lucinda Robinson (Marketing Director).

“The mid-market is too often overlooked — stuck between tools that are too basic and platforms that are too complex to manage,” said Ed Macnair, CEO of TrustLayer. “TrustLayer is built to give these organisations, and the partners who support them, exactly what they need: direct protection, clear visibility, and the control to act without complexity getting in the way.”

In an industry that continues to grow in noise and fragmentation, TrustLayer takes a more direct approach. The platform brings together four connected areas of protection — email, browsing, user behaviour, and security posture — into a single system designed around the needs of modern mid-sized businesses.

It stops threats before they reach the inbox, while keeping a full audit trail through email archiving. It controls risky browsing and cloud app use, reduces human error through targeted security training, and surfaces misconfigurations across SaaS, cloud and endpoint environments. Everything is visible. Everything is connected. Nothing is left to chance.

The transition to TrustLayer will be introduced through a phased rollout, with market-facing updates aligned across customer, partner, and industry channels. TrustLayer’s new identity is already reflected in early engagements, with broader visibility scaling throughout Q2.

“This isn’t a reset — it’s a step forward,” added Macnair. “We’re building on the foundations of a proven platform, but with a renewed focus on simplicity and partnerships. TrustLayer reflects who we are now — and where we’re going next.”

During the transition, the Censornet website will remain live and operational. The full TrustLayer rollout will continue through Q2 2025.
