General information

Short Summary
A UK-based SME with an international team of software developers and business professionals is offering a novel software platform designed to safeguard code and data during creation for the technology industry.

Partners are sought from within the software sector for commercial exploitation through various arrangements, and investors are invited to discuss funding for the expansion of this activity.
Full Description
The company has created a unique SaaS platform designed to protect the intellectual property within and outside the organisation (outsourcing) during project development cycle by restricting access to sensitive or proprietary information that is not required for the specific task. Resilient end-to-end encryption is optimised for real-time code-sharing sandboxes, which are strengthened by automation-based oversight.

This innovation addresses the risk of cyber breaches and intellectual property (IP) theft, which have significant consequences for a company’s reputation and valuation, with the ITIC's (Information Technology Intelligence Consulting) 2020 report noting that 98% of firms surveyed said a single hour of downtime cost over $100,000.

Software development companies are invited to partner in subcontracting, outsourcing, or joint venture agreements.

Software resellers may wish to discuss opportunities to act as trade intermediaries to distribute, represent or offer the software.

Business angel, venture and corporate investors are sought to invest in funding for commercialisation activities.
Advantages and Innovations
Comprehensive and Integrated Solution: the software provides an all-encompassing solution by restricting access to proprietary code while still allowing to work without seeing the code and/or data.

Efficient Collaboration: allows multiple developers to simultaneously work in the same codebase, irrespective of their location, which is not a commonly found feature in other cybersecurity solutions.

Sophisticated Technologies: use of smart contracts to provide transparency and automatic enforcement of agreements, while the secure execution environment ensures code safety without compromising the broader system.

Granular Access Control: ensures only necessary personnel have access to certain data to reduce the likelihood of internal security breaches and limit potential damage from third-party vendors.
Stage of Development
