UK Innovator Founder visa

Shipped, live, and independently verifiable.

The three criteria in the Innovator Founder assessment — Innovation, Viability, Scalability — are backed by a production platform. Every claim below links to a live endpoint you can interrogate without ResilienceChain credentials.

The problem the UK has

The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill 2026 extends incident-notification and cross-sector resilience obligations to thousands of supervised entities — NHS trusts, critical national infrastructure operators, financial services firms. Every one of them must now prove, in writing and on time, that a cyber incident was detected, contained, reported to the right regulator, and coordinated across organisational boundaries: their MSP, their supply chain, their insurer, the regulator itself.

Today, nobody’s evidence chain survives the handoff. Incidents fire in the SIEM; evidence scatters across EDR, Slack screenshots, emails, and PDFs. Cross-tenant coordination happens by attachment. Regulators cannot independently verify that a reported timeline is the real timeline.

ResilienceChain is the cross-boundary cyber custody chain that closes this gap.

Innovation — four genuinely new properties, all shipped
  1. 1
    Third-party time-anchored hash chain

    The chain does not just prove 'these events have not been rewritten since they were written' — it proves 'these events existed by wall-clock time T'. Any auditor with the TSA public certificate can verify offline in 30 seconds.

  2. 2
    Open Evidence Schema with a conformance badge programme

    Every payload ResilienceChain produces is defined in a published JSON Schema under CC-BY-4.0. Partners self-certify with a public CLI and earn the rc-conformant badge. An RFC 8615 discovery manifest lets any crawler find the specs.

  3. 3
    Federated threat-intelligence correlation with k-anonymity

    Opted-in tenants contribute IoC observations to an aggregation that surfaces matches only when ≥3 tenants have independently seen the same indicator. Tenant identities never cross the API boundary.

  4. 4
    Cross-tenant AI triage, personalised per customer

    Claude Sonnet 4.6 produces structured triage plans gated by Claude Haiku 4.5. Each tenant's prompt is augmented with their 3 most similar past resolutions (RAG over a private knowledge corpus). Triage quality compounds with platform usage — switching to a competitor resets the curve.

Viability — shipped, live, verifiable
  • Live production platform — self-serve signup, 5 AI agents, hash chain, TSA anchors, 4 regulator templates
  • 18 weeks of solo delivery, forked from CustodyFlow (prior medical-equipment custody chain shipped to UK NHS trusts 2024–25)
  • UK-hosted on GCP europe-west2 with Cloud SQL Enterprise — UK data residency baked in for regulated buyers
  • 46 database migrations live, 7 published schemas, 4 regulator-pack templates, demo tenant receives synthetic Sentinel alerts every 5 minutes
  • Infosecurity Europe 2026 Cyber Startup Award application in flight; NCSC For Startups alumni reopen tracked for 2027
  • Public CLI at npx @resiliencechain/conform — any partner can self-certify against the open spec

Every new opted-in tenant raises cross-tenant IoC match density; every closed incident personalises that tenant’s AI triage; every partner that earns the rc-conformant badge raises the cost of switching to a non-conformant competitor. The platform becomes more defensible with every customer.
