Their core work

IMC (Information and Communications Management) is a Greek technology SME specializing in digital security systems, with hands-on experience building platforms for law enforcement and public safety. Their work spans citizen-police engagement software and digital forensics infrastructure — the kind of tools that help investigators collect, preserve, and present lawful digital evidence in court. In LOCARD, they contributed to a blockchain-based evidence continuity platform designed to handle internet crime investigations within trusted execution environments. They are practitioners in applied security technology, not pure researchers.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first project (INSPEC2T, 2015-2018), IMC worked on the softer side of public safety — citizen engagement and community-police communication platforms. No technical security keywords are recorded from that period, suggesting a focus on UX, participation tools, or system integration rather than deep cybersecurity. By their second project (LOCARD, 2019-2022), the profile had shifted markedly toward hard digital security: internet crime investigation, blockchain-based evidence chains, and trusted execution environments. The trajectory is a clear move from civic technology toward law enforcement infrastructure and cyber forensics.

IMC is moving deeper into law enforcement technology — specifically the technical infrastructure for digital crime investigation — making them a candidate partner for future projects in cybercrime, digital evidence standards, or secure data handling for justice systems.

How they like to work

IMC has participated exclusively as a consortium partner across both projects, never taking a coordinating role — consistent with a specialist SME that joins consortia to deliver a defined technical component rather than to lead. Their two projects each involved large, multi-country consortia (38 unique partners across 14 countries), which suggests they are comfortable operating in complex, distributed project environments. There is no sign of repeated partnerships with the same organisations, pointing to a broad but shallow network built across different project calls.

IMC has accumulated 38 unique consortium partners across 14 countries from just two projects, indicating consistently large consortia rather than close bilateral relationships. Their network is European in scope with no discernible geographic concentration beyond Greece as home country.

What sets them apart

IMC occupies a rare niche as a small Greek private company with direct experience in both civic public-safety platforms and hard digital forensics — bridging the human and technical sides of law enforcement technology. For a consortium building a project around cybercrime investigation, digital evidence standards, or police-facing software, IMC brings practitioner-level SME credibility from two consecutive EU security projects. Their size and national base make them a natural fit for Greek institutional partnerships or for projects that need a Southern European SME to balance the consortium geography.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LOCARD
  The most technically sophisticated of their two projects, LOCARD tackled internet crime evidence continuity using blockchain and trusted execution environments — placing IMC at the intersection of cryptography, legal procedure, and law enforcement IT.
• INSPEC2T
  Their entry point into EU security research, this project addressed citizen-police engagement at scale, demonstrating that IMC's security work encompasses socio-technical systems, not only backend infrastructure.
