About Us
Built in the EU. For the world.
SilentShield is developed by Forge12 Interactive GmbH — a German software company dedicated to privacy-first security solutions.
What is SilentShield?
SilentShield is an invisible, GDPR-compliant bot-protection service that replaces CAPTCHAs. It verifies visitors without cookies and without puzzles — hosted in Germany, around 50 KB compressed, for forms and logins.
Why we built SilentShield
Classic CAPTCHAs are a double problem: they frustrate real users with image puzzles — and they send personal data to third parties like Google, which is a GDPR risk for EU websites.
We were convinced there was a better way. Instead of making people solve puzzles, SilentShield analyses behaviour invisibly in the browser — no cookies, no tracking, checks on our servers in Germany.
The result: bot protection real users do not see in the default mode, GDPR-compliant from day one — built in Germany, run on our servers in Germany.
Our Mission
We believe that bot protection shouldn't come at the cost of user privacy. Traditional CAPTCHAs track users, collect personal data, and create frustrating barriers. SilentShield proves there's a better way — invisible, accessible, and ready for GDPR-compliant use.
Privacy First
No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no profiles. We built SilentShield from the ground up to respect user privacy.
Made in Europe
The check runs on our servers in Germany, and the data is stored there.
Accessibility for All
We believe security should be inclusive. SilentShield is fully WCAG 2.1 compliant — no user is excluded.
Transparency
Transparent pricing, open documentation, and honest communication. No hidden fees, no surprise data collection.
The team behind it
Built by a German software team with a privacy-first focus.
