Horizon 20/20 , DS-02-2016: “Cyber Security for SMEs, local public administration and Individuals” says , that:

“Europe’s SMEs, local public administration and citizens face particular challenges in addressing basic cyber security threats. HORIZON 2020 – Work Programme 2016 – 2017 Secure societies – Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens On one hand, in the case of SMEs and local public administration, their size and budgetary constraints often precludes them from putting in place highly granular organisational structures, retaining dedicated information security personnel and making significant investments in cybersecurity products or services.”

To answer this challenge it is proposed to evaluate  Sentrycs Data is Software-as-a-Service for SMEs. This will  enable SMEs to share a file, execute transaction or sign a contract, securely and confidentially, with anyone in the world, while satisfying data compliance requirements.Sentrycs Data is SaaS , using desktop-based Control Panel , enabling Online Data Privacy and Data Integrity , specifically targeted for SMEs and individuals , requiring zero integration with any Infrastructure. Competition requires integration with Enterprise Active Directory (unacceptable for SMEs , individuals) or using insecure Social Networks (Facebook , Google).

The goals of the R&D project are:

1. to determine compelling use cases for application

of SC Data technology for SMEs , local public administration and individuals

2.to test these use cases with selected SMEs , local public administration and individuals

with the help of public organizations representing their needs and

3. to disseminate the results.
