23. Is WordPress commercially viable?

The WordPress ecosystem is quite unique in how it operates and contributes to the Internet and information sharing globally. Outside of being one of the largest content management platforms – it is also used significantly as an ecommerce engine for many companies – big and small. More importantly, it continues to demonstrate the value of open source in a commercial world. Many examples abound – Redhat being one of the more popular ones about how open source and commercial needs can be part of the same equation.  WordPress has a thriving commercial component – almost always driven from the open source side of the business.  Much like the ‘freemium’ and ‘trial’ options you see with commercial software and services today – WordPress plugins generally have a limited use/free component offering a commercial component as an upgrade.  The models vary – it can be for better support, more features or more capacity – but certainly WordPress is an excellent brand recognition platform and an extremely cost-effective way to reach hundreds and thousands of IT Administrators, Security engineers and small business owners.  In our case currently, when we refresh our code (fixes, enhancements or attachments to our other products such as ClassiDocs) – over 10,000 active Web Developers, SMB owners and other associated folks are exposed to our brand and capability. As our mission is to provide data security and protection services for organizations of all sizes, in all locations – WordPress is the perfect distribution method for us.  CodeCanyon, ThemeForest, WooCommerce and thousands of others generate tens of millions of dollars annually in the commercial WordPress space. One great study to review: https://freemius.com/blog/codecanyon-wordpress-plugins-analysis/. It should be noted, the official WordPress plugin repository is indeed open source only and non-commercial – all commercial transactions happen on the plugin owners’ site/page/ordering engine.  A great example of this is the WP Security Audit Log plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/.

24. When did ClassiDocs become available?

The core product itself has been built starting from September 2016 and for almost 2 years heavy development continued and was piloted with select organizations that were early adopters of the vision of a combined Data Classification and Governance product – one that replaced several existing or to be purchased products.  Having spent 1.5 years in constant development and design in conjunction with pilot installations – it became commercially available only earlier in 2018.  ClassiDocs continues to be piloted and demonstrated on a daily basis to many different types of customer opportunities.  The Enterprise IT Security sales cycle is long (6-24 months sometimes) and is expensive to engage on (sales people, support for the pilots, fixes and deployments, compute cycles, etc.)  As well – with any long-term sales cycle – there is always risk (macro markets, competitors, etc.)  Our continued efforts on the product stack include extensions to new areas (that may or may not drive specific revenues but are important strategically – like Ripple or Facebook), and integrations to instances where the sales cycle is much faster – such as a transactional interaction like a WordPress Plugin.  Driving cost, time and complexity out of technology is our mission – engineering the product and implementation to be as simple as a ‘one click exercise’ is our end goal – for many reasons.

25. Can the Company’s officers and employees sell their LDSR stock?

All stock issued to Company officers and employees is restricted for a minimum of 1 year and generally vests over several years afterwards.  These issuances of stock cannot be sold into the market until restrictions are lifted.  Additionally, Stock Options have monetary value only once a certain stock price is met.  Company officers are subject to additional restrictions on selling in general, and more specifically on amounts sold during certain time frames.

26. How does DATA443 pay for the acquisitions it has closed, and plans to close in the future?

While every deal is different, generally, our acquisitions are paid for with a combination of cash, vendor debt, and restricted company stock.  The restricted company stock cannot be sold into the market for at least one year after the transaction close and in some cases is tied to performance metrics post-acquisition.  As well, the debt instrument is held by the seller of company for a period of time, as indicated in our recent filings.

27. Since DATA443 is not yet cash flow positive yet, how does the Company fund its operations?

Please refer to our SEC filings for the most current information, which can be found HERE.

28. How is the Company addressing commentary on message boards, social media, etc. 

In addition to our current litigation, the company has initiated steps to pursue purveyors of lies and libelous comments about the Company and members posted on online investor boards and similar social media outlets.  Rather than just negative comments, many of these statements are outright lies intended to negatively impact the Company’s share price, volume and other important and material parts of the business.  Thankfully US law and data exchange legislation in other jurisdictions will enable us to directly address these individuals or organizations.  Previous caselaw enables much of this information collection and patterns between trading and commentary are fairly easy to match up with a few data points.
