The need to verify and protect users’ data in a secure, user friendly and convenient way is becoming more important for consumers, corporations and governments. The innovative methodology that Sedicii uses to authenticate and verify identity provides the architecture to address both current and evolving web, mobile and Internet of Things authentication needs.

Based on Sedicii’s patented technology for authenticating without exchanging, storing or exposing the personal identifiable information required to authenticate, Sedicii has refined and launched a number of solutions with initial prototypes during the year.

Over the course of the year we have won 10 global startup and data privacy awards and were shortlisted for TechCrunch Disrupt New York, Cisco IoT Global Challenge and many others.

We won the following: Bank Innovation DEMOvation Challenge (Seattle); Award R&D Collaboration Of The Year (Dublin); BT Infinity Lab (London); Ulster Bank Business Achievers Best Regional Startup (Dublin); EU Commission H2020 SME Award (Brussels); IPACSO Innovative Privacy Company (Brussels); IP Awards Tech Transfer Of The Year (Dublin); Matchi Fintech Innovation Challenge – Best Security & Fraud Reduction product (Johannesburg); Irish Tech Leadership Group Innovation Award (Silicon Valley); and EY Start-Up Challenge – The Right To Be Forgotten (London).

Rob Leslie is the chief executive of Sedicii
