"Really a great company to work for. We don't have an in-house IT team and rely on a third-party vendor, but when we contacted Cyber Bark, they immediately identified several vulnerabilities in our website. What really stood out was how they worked directly with our third-party IT team to resolve these issues and properly secure our site. Their communication, expertise, and hands-on support made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We are now continuing their monthly service, and it is extremely valuable to our business. strongly recommended."

"I purchased the WCAG Accessibility Report from Cyber Bark, and it helped us resolve several Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance issues on our website. What impressed me the most was that the report was priceless – it even identified typos and broken links we didn't even know we had. The Cyber Bark team did an excellent job of explaining everything clearly and telling us how to navigate the findings. She also worked directly with our web developers to ensure that the improvements were implemented correctly. Truly a great company to work with. highly recommended!"
