Our Vision
SICCAR was founded on the idea that digital change needs to be foundational as well as superficial. Our mission is to connect and protect business and society with trustworthy data.
The What
At Siccar, we saw the need for a more secure way to share business critical data, enabling trusted collaboration between suppliers, partners, and customers.
Siccar ensures that the right people can view the right data at the right time by providing a single source of truth for Emissions Reporting, Green Home Retrofitting and other sustainability challenges.
The Why
People and their data are often not sufficiently protected. Complexity and lack of data integrity slow down innovation. Data breaches are common and have a disastrous impact on both organisations and individuals.
With the drive to reduce carbon emissions and hit net-zero by 2050, it is imperative that a reliable way is found to measure, report and assure these emissions are correct. If these reportings are incorrect, oil and gas companies can have their licences revoked and face huge financial fines amongst other penalties.
The How
Siccar is a future-proofed shared data platform that integrates seamlessly with your organisation’s existing applications and infrastructure by implementing flows of data between organisations using a special distributed ledger register controlled via governance policies called ‘blueprints’.
Blueprints define what data is shared, where it is shared and who can access it. This a powerful component of Siccar, as data cannot be shared with anyone who does not have access to it.
SICCAR encrypts your data and wraps it in a tamperproof transaction which is shared only with the intended parties before finally being added to the secure and immutable blockchain.
