Description

LocalStudent is a new technology startup that was created by students, for students.

We are changing the way that students work in the 21st century.

Our app allows customers to hire students for on-demand services, with the click of a button. We're like Uber for student services. Our startup is quickly growing and people are starting to take notice, as we have been featured on CTV, Toronto Star, blogTO, Narcity and Breakfast Television. Over 25,000+ students have signed up on our platform. We focus on home services right now, but our vision is to become the platform for any service a student can offer, from dog walking to web development and more.

Project feedback
I genuinely had a wonderful experience collaborating with LocalStudent Inc. on this cyber security project. From the initial stage, there was a keen desire to enhance the organization's security posture, making the project objectives even more effective. I am particularly impressed with LocalStudent Inc.'s willingness to engage in the various phases of the project, from outlining the scope of phishing campaigns to presenting valuable insights during the vulnerability scans. The camaraderie and open exchange provided an optimal environment, and I felt my work was genuinely valued. While the project illuminated areas of need, as any good security audit should, it was also evident that LocalStudent Inc. stands on a solid foundation from which to move forward. I have no doubt that the advice and roadmap herein will serve you well as an outstanding guide for strengthening your defenses and cultivating a culture of security awareness.
