C3ISP (2016–2019) focused on collaborative and confidential information sharing for cyber protection, where GPS participated as a funded partner receiving EUR 201,250.
GRIDPOCKET SYSTEMS SPOLKA AKCYJNA
Polish cybersecurity SME with EU Innovation Action experience in threat intelligence sharing and SME digital protection frameworks.
Their core work
GridPocket Systems is a Polish cybersecurity SME based in Gdańsk, specializing in cyber threat intelligence sharing and digital security for small and medium-sized enterprises. In H2020, they contributed to two Innovation Actions focused on building collaborative frameworks for cyber protection — one targeting confidential information sharing among organizations facing cyber threats (C3ISP), and one delivering practical security tools specifically for SMEs (SMESEC). Their company name suggests a possible background in grid or networked-systems monitoring, which may underpin a broader approach to cyber situational awareness in connected infrastructure. They operate as a specialist technical contributor inside large multi-partner EU consortia rather than as a project-driving organization.
What they specialise in
SMESEC (2017–2020) targeted protecting SMEs' digital technology through an innovative cybersecurity framework, where GPS contributed as a third party.
Both H2020 engagements used the Innovation Action (IA) funding scheme, indicating GPS contributes to applied, market-ready security implementations rather than basic research.
How they've shifted over time
Both H2020 projects began within a year of each other (2016–2017), so there is insufficient timeline spread to observe meaningful evolution in technical focus. Within this narrow window, GPS moved from a funded participant role in large-scale enterprise threat intelligence infrastructure (C3ISP) to a third-party contributor role in SME-targeted security tools (SMESEC), suggesting a broadening from enterprise-level threat sharing to SME-level cyber resilience delivery. No keyword data is available to confirm or deepen this reading beyond project title analysis.
GPS appears to be moving toward practical, SME-facing cybersecurity solutions, but the data window covers only 2016–2020 and is too narrow to confirm this as a sustained strategic direction.
How they like to work
GPS has never led an H2020 project as coordinator — they consistently join consortia as a participant or third party, suggesting a preference for specialist contributor roles over consortium leadership. Despite having only two projects, they engaged with 23 distinct partners across 10 countries, reflecting the large multi-partner structures typical of EU cybersecurity Innovation Actions. This makes them experienced at operating inside complex international consortia without needing to drive them.
GPS has worked with 23 unique partners across 10 countries — a notably broad network for an organization with only two projects, reflecting the large consortium structures common in EU security Innovation Actions. No repeated partnership patterns can be identified from this limited dataset.
What sets them apart
GridPocket Systems is a rare Polish cybersecurity SME with direct hands-on experience inside two EU-level cybersecurity Innovation Actions — one addressing collaborative threat intelligence, the other SME-specific protection — covering both enterprise and SME security dimensions. Their Gdańsk base offers proximity to Baltic and Central-Eastern European markets that remain underserved in EU cybersecurity consortia. However, the overall profile is thin, and a sharper technical differentiator cannot be established without more project data or direct contact.
Highlights from their portfolio
- C3ISPGPS's primary funded engagement (EUR 201,250), participating in a multi-national Innovation Action on collaborative and confidential cyber threat information sharing — a high-priority area for both enterprise and government security.
- SMESECGPS contributed as a third party to a project specifically designed to protect SMEs' digital infrastructure, directly aligned with the European Commission's push for SME cyber resilience across sectors.
