SafeShark has been selected as one of the UK’s 14 most creative and original information security businesses in the UK.

SafeShark, a Joint Venture between DTG Testing and Connect Devices, backed by BSI to provide the leading independent certification for new IoT cybersecurity standards, has been shortlisted in the UK’s Most Innovative Cyber SME 2022 contest, run by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) in partnership with Infosecurity Europe.

As a finalist, SafeShark will have a stand (M96) in the DCMS Cyber Innovation Zone at InfoSecurity Europe 2022 (21-23 June at ExCeL London) where we’ll be demo-ing the SafeShark objective and continuous testing to meet the new upcoming legislative requirements, backed by BSI certification to turn compliance into competitive edge.

A full list of 2022 finalists can be found here.

This is the seventh year the competition has been run, and is open to micro, small and medium cybersecurity businesses registered in the UK. The overall winner will be announced live on the Innovation Showcase stage at the show. Visitor registration is open here.  

Commenting on the news, SafeShark Director and DTG CEO Richard Lindsay-Davies said: “We are delighted that SafeShark has been recognised as one of the most important innovations in the cyber security space. The legislation that is now before Parliament is designed to add a layer of protection for consumers in their own homes. This award underlines that SafeShark goes beyond those mandated requirements to demonstrate to retailers and their consumers that device manufacturers have really gone the extra mile to keep their customers safe.”
