Who we are
We are Guardacard.com. We are part of the City Science Group Registered in Australia. The Group has been operating since 1999. We take your data and information VERY seriously. City Science Group has a number of companies that it owns and operates through its owners and stakeholders.
The two original partners in City Science Group startedworking with RFID when some of our retail partners (Walmart, Kohl’s, ASDA, Walgreens, CVS, Marks and Spencer, Boots, etc.) started requiring RFID embedded with or attached to products we were selling to them. This early entry has allowed us to build a great relationship with the largest RFID companies in the world, from which Guaradcard was born.
This emphasis on security for our clients and partnershas lead to Guardacard and our unbending commitment to providing the best quality, most robust card backed by the best security and safety for you and your data
