Business & IP Sale Opportunity – UK Government-Commissioned Embedded Cybersecurity Technology

 

Metis Partners is pleased to present a unique opportunity to acquire the business and intellectual property (“IP”) owned by ExactTrak Limited (the “Company”), a UK-based cybersecurity innovator behind SmartSafe, the world’s first fully hardware-embedded security enclave for laptops and mobile devices.

SmartSafe addresses a range of security use cases:

• eliminates the need for multiple devices for different working environments or security levels;
• enables tracking and remote data destruction of lost or compromised laptops; and
• allows users to securely take devices overseas, with the embedded enclave remaining undetectable.

Designed for complete security with no user intervention, SmartSafe operates independently of any operating system or BIOS and functions standalone, requiring only power to achieve remote data destruction if a device is compromised. By embedding security directly into hardware, it eliminates any reliance on software-based solutions, which are increasingly vulnerable to emerging threats.

ExactTrak has raised £4.5 million to date and is seeking either a strategic partner or an acquirer, to fund full-scale deployment and integration into high-volume sales channels.

 

• Proven Government-Backed Technology: SmartSafe has successfully completed 18 months of rigorous UK Government assurance testing and is actively deployed across several Government projects, with further multi-million-pound contracts expected in the near term.
• Robust IP Portfolio: The Company owns 20 granted patents across the UK, US, and EU, covering innovations such as remote control of data access, dual authentication, and multi-point beacon management. The IP portfolio also includes embedded software written in C under RTOS, patented Wi-Fi beacon technology for location tracking, a scalable Java-based microservices server architecture deployed in Docker, and a suite of trade secrets and fully documented code and processes. The business is well known in UK Government circles, including GCHQ, establishing a strong brand and proven reputation as a trusted UK Government partner in secure data protection.
• Scalable Market Opportunity: SmartSafe addresses critical security use cases including remote data destruction, secure overseas device use, and eliminating the need for multiple devices. The technology is well-positioned to capitalise on the $27.5 billion endpoint protection market, projected to reach $38.3 billion by 2030^[1].
