Our mission is to connect and protect business and society with trustworthy data.
SICCAR enables organisations to share sensitive data through one trustworthy digital platform. The SICCAR platform adopts distributed ledger technology (DLT), to deliver a cyber secure platform for organisations to collaborate on secure reliable data. SICCAR facilitates data sharing where security, protection, integrity and governance are required.
SICCAR® was founded on the idea that digital change needs to be foundational as well as superficial. Our founders saw examples of other successful digital societies, like Estonia. where citizens have the ability to smoothly interact with government and banks with highly streamlined digital processes. The powerful technology infrastructure makes the process simple and accessible for users on every level. Our founders believe that DLT is the next generation of technology that will connect businesses and society together. The technology does not lose sight of the fact that it ensures only the appropriate people have access to a user’s data.
The development of the SICCAR platform for use in the public sector came from an internal review of Distributed Ledger Technologies for the Scottish Government. As part of the world-leading CivTech accelerator programme, SICCAR has been developed to address data sharing problems between public sector agencies. The SICCAR platform was also created to address specific requirements in the manufacturing and resources industries to assure the integrity of supply chains and address complex manufacturing challenges. Specifically, SICCAR are aligned with the need to manage the high-risk and high-value assets in the oil and energy industry.
