About Form Armor

Form Armor™ is a hosted security service that automates the detection of spam and abuse on Web site forms, and eliminates the need for CAPTCHA, security codes or other customer involvement.

Frustrated with crazy CAPTCHA and image-recognition tests (that treated us like the bad guys instead of the spammers) we created Form Armor as an anti-spam solution specifically for Web site contact forms, lead generation forms, online registration and subscriptions forms, and online databases.

Form Armor enables companies to take all the messy details of Web form security and put it behind-the-scenes, where it's invisible to customers and Web site visitors. At the same time we make it easier for companies to focus on responding to real customers and leads, instead of spam or abusive entries.

Our technology provides adaptive, behind-the-scenes protection and does not require CAPTCHA words or images, security codes, or other "are you human" tests that can negatively impact customer service, conversion rates, usability, and accessibility issues.

Research for Form Armor began in 2002. The service became publicly available in 2007. Form Armor currently protects a variety of Web site forms for companies worldwide.

Form Armor is a project of Idea Catchers Group, LLC, owned by husband and wife team Chris and Larissa Reynolds. Based in Dallas, Texas, the couple has been working on the Web since 1999.
