Safeguarding & Information Integrity
Protecting people, platforms, and the public interest in a digital world.
In complex, high-stakes environments — from countering exploitation to upholding democratic institutions. The risks of digital harm and misinformation are intensifying.
Hexocene helps organisations meet these threats directly by embedding proactive safeguards into operations, products, and leadership. Building the capabilities needed to protect vulnerable people, uphold trust, and ensure integrity across modern public service and commercial enterprise.
Harm online is escalating fast
Child sexual abuse reports handled by enforcement bodies increased by 87% between 2019 and 2023, with many platforms struggling to identify or escalate abuse in real time.
We help you build safeguarding systems that detect, escalate, and prevent harm — integrating digital tools, evidential workflows, and staff safety protocols.
Technology is increasingly misused
In the first six months of 2025, the Internet Watch Foundation verified 1,286 AI-generated child abuse videos. Up from just 2 during the same period the year before.
We support you in designing products and services that anticipate misuse, embed safety by design, and protect users without stifling innovation.
Information integrity: countering misinformation as a strategic threat
More than 50% of global risk experts ranked AI-fuelled disinformation among the top immediate risks in 2024.
We help organisations counter information abuse. Building metadata monitoring, response protocols, and staff capability to manage emerging threats.
