- Ofcom — for regulatory decisions on broadband, spectrum, telecommunications, and online safety.
- Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) — for data protection rulings, enforcement actions, and privacy guidance.
- Companies House Gibraltar — for corporate registration and company filings of Rock Bay Media Ltd.
- BBC Technology — as a reference for breaking technology news and confirmed reporting from a major public service broadcaster.

What do we rely on day to day in our reporting?
Our day-to-day reporting draws on a defined set of reliable sources: official company announcements, product documentation, hands-on device testing, security advisories, court filings, expert interviews, and first-hand reporting. Any rumour or unverified claim is always clearly labelled as such, and we do not publish speculation as fact.
- Official company statements, press releases, and investor filings.
- Product documentation, technical specifications, and official user manuals.
- Hands-on testing conducted in-house by our Devices & Reviews Editor and specialist reviewers.
- Security advisories from NCSC, CERT-UK, and vendor security bulletins.

Any item that cannot be verified from at least one of these categories is either withheld or accompanied by a clear disclaimer. Rumours are explicitly labelled as such and are never presented as established fact.
