Omnisient enables enterprises to unlock insights from sensitive consumer data without exposing personal information. Its platform supports secure data collaboration and analysis for diverse use cases, including financial inclusion, fraud prevention and precision marketing, while adhering to global privacy laws like GDPR and POPIA.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the global standard for information security management, with UKAS accreditation ensuring the certification was rigorously assessed by a globally recognised authority. For security and IT professionals, this certification demonstrates verified security standards, regulatory compliance and an added layer of trust, all critical for enterprise partnerships.

Our certification is a reflection of how seriously we take security for our clients and their customers, giving them peace of mind that they are fully protected and compliant with global privacy regulations.

Data collaboration enables creates significant opportunities for businesses and communities. One of those is increasing financial inclusion, with the widespread benefits of that.

Financial Services providers can derive substantial value from high quality consumer data but are constrained by privacy regulations, the risk of data breaches and IP leakage, the depreciating value of data, and the time required to obtain access to new data.

Omnisient is an award-winning privacy preserving data collaboration platform that is enabling financial services businesses to access high value consumer data in a regulatory compliant manner, using advanced cryptography and AI.

Omnisient is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneer Community, a TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200 participant, a member of the United Nations Privacy Enhancing Technologies committee, and a Fast Company “Next Big Things in Tech” startup.
