UK Enterprise 2020

150 | UK Enterprise Awards 2020 Technology has become an ever-evolving and ever-increasingly important part of life for so many individuals and businesses alike. That relationship has become even more important during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, as businesses have had to shift to a more digital setup. In terms of technology, that means heightened security and better networks. TriCIS Ltd has been the answer for many firms, so we take a look at what makes it such a fantastic firm. Jun20443 Established in March 2017, TriCIS is one of only two approved TEMPEST manufacturers in the United Kingdom. Essentially, what the firm does is this: design and modify secure solutions around computing, networking, and peripheral equipment to meet military and governmental security requirements. As the firm is one of only two approved TEMPEST manufacturers in the United Kingdom, TriCIS is perfectly placed at the top of the industry to offer exactly what their clients need. TriCIS is also a UK sovereign company delivering secure systems integration, incorporating UK CFTCS, MIL Standards, and NATO TEMPEST standards when it comes to computing and network security services. Ultimately, the firm provides engineering and design solutions to deliver innovative accredited information assured platforms. All government bodies and departments can seriously benefit from the range of flagship products that TriCIS offers. It has spent time developing and implementing embedded encryption, and is the only firm that can provide this level of service to the government of the United Kingdom. Over the years, TriCIS has taken government requirements for bespoke engineering and fulfilled those requirements through collaboration and R&D development capability such as EMC shielded devices for use in secure areas. Perhaps the most award-worthy aspect of TriCIS is its ability to take capability needs from its defence and government users, regardless of whether or not they are practical, theoretical, or tactical. TriCIS works with customers and clients of all sorts, but primarily works with the military and the government on their security needs for networks and computing. In listening to the client’s needs above all else, the firm is able to deliver on their requirements with rapid solutions that can be used quickly to support those in the field. The last couple of years have given way to more than twenty products that have helped with secure computing and network services. Just a handful include secure push-to-talk headsets for use at secret levels, as well as encryptions that have been developed in the DELL rugged range of laptops to enable a more mobile environment for working at secret levels. Being an SME that is less than three years old comes with a host of challenges, but nothing that the team at TriCIS isn’t prepared to tackle head on. Whether it be cashflow, R&D, or working to establish itself in a niche market, the firm has come up against some stern challenges in its short lifespan thus far, but each has served to make it bigger and better. TriCIS has worked with investors to secure significant investment based on the product set, the pipeline, and the setup of the business. This has allowed research and development into specific areas to build capability for immediate implementation by the clients. Of course, COVID-19 has had a huge impact on life in the United Kingdom. There has been a huge increase in demand for secure homeworking at the upper tiers of security within the government, and elsewhere. TriCIS has developed a Government and Defence Secure homeworking package for immediate support, whilst also feeding ideas into defence-based firms to accelerate the delivery of that package. These ideas also centre around how disconnected users who do not have access to laptops from the MoD can continue to work and keep the country safe. Looking to the future, TriCIS has put several roadmaps in place, most notably around how it can deploy geo-fencing solutions that has been approved for use in the United States, and will be able to be used in the United Kingdom through proper accreditation. This will save taxpayer money, and will also provide flexibility, enhanced mobility, and security for the Defence and MoD communities. Keeping the country safe means being digitally savvy, now more than ever. There are few more digitally proficient companies than TriCIS, and no-one more worthy than them to keep the United Kingdom’s protectors safe in their work.
