In a market dominated by giants like Paubox and Proton, NeoCertified quietly generates nearly $1M in revenue with just 10 employees. Their secret? A hyper-focused, compliance-driven approach to secure email encryption that ignores global noise for pure US-market dominance.

"They aren't chasing the next viral keyword; they're solving a regulated pain point for businesses that can't afford a data breach."

The competitive landscape is telling. When 'paubox' appears as a top keyword, it signals that NeoCertified is capturing comparison traffic. They likely position themselves as the more accessible or specialized alternative to the market leaders. Their lack of a Trustpilot presence isn't necessarily a weakness; it suggests a sales-led motion rather than a product-led, viral one. They don't need public reviews when they have direct enterprise contracts.

• Revenue-per-employee ratio of $90K is highly efficient for a 10-person team
• Zero global traffic suggests a deliberate, defensible US-only strategy
• Tech stack prioritizes stability (jQuery/Bootstrap) over modern frameworks
• Captures high-intent traffic via compliance-related search terms
