J.I.G. INTERNET CONSULTING SL

Their core work

J.I.G. Internet Consulting is a Spanish SME based in Logroño (La Rioja) that specializes in cybersecurity, trustworthiness, and secure connectivity for IoT and digital service ecosystems. Their work focuses on making connected devices and digital service chains reliable, secure, and explainable — particularly in cross-domain environments where multiple systems must interoperate safely. They contribute technical expertise in areas like threat detection, AI-driven trust assessment, and user-centric security awareness within large European R&D consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

J.I.G.'s early H2020 involvement (2017, SCOTT) centered on foundational secure connectivity for IoT devices — establishing trust in connected things. By 2019-2020, their focus sharpened significantly toward AI-driven cybersecurity: explainable AI, cross-domain threat detection, and programmatic trustworthiness for complex digital service chains (GUARD, InSecTT). The progression shows a clear move from "secure devices" to "intelligent, explainable security systems."

Moving toward explainable AI and automated trust assessment for complex multi-domain digital ecosystems — a growing need as IoT and service chain architectures become more interconnected.

How they like to work

J.I.G. operates exclusively as a participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing focused technical expertise to large consortia. With 106 unique partners across 19 countries from just 3 projects, they work in very large consortia (averaging 35+ partners per project, especially via ECSEL-IA). This suggests they are comfortable in complex, multi-partner environments and can deliver within large coordination structures.

Despite only 3 projects, J.I.G. has built a remarkably wide network of 106 partners across 19 countries, driven by participation in large ECSEL-IA and IA consortia. Their network spans broadly across Europe without an obvious geographic concentration beyond Spain.

What sets them apart

J.I.G. sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI trustworthiness — a niche that is becoming increasingly critical as EU regulation (AI Act, NIS2) demands explainable and auditable security systems. As a small, agile SME in La Rioja, they offer specialized cybersecurity consulting without the overhead of larger firms. Their consistent focus on "trustable" systems across all three projects suggests deep, focused expertise rather than scattered involvement.

Highlights from their portfolio

• GUARD
  Largest funding (EUR 188K) and most technically specific — directly targeting cybersecurity frameworks for digital service chain reliability.
• InSecTT
  ECSEL-IA joint undertaking project combining AI, security, and IoT trustability — represents their most advanced technical positioning.
