NEUROSOFT SOFTWARE PRODUCTIONS SA

Their core work

Neurosoft is a Greek software SME specializing in cybersecurity systems, with demonstrated expertise across two complementary domains: blockchain-based identity and access management for critical infrastructure, and digital forensics platforms for lawful cybercrime evidence collection. In SealedGRID, they contributed to securing smart grid communications using decentralized authentication, web-of-trust models, and attribute-based access control. In LOCARD, they shifted to the investigative side of security — building tools that help law enforcement collect and preserve digital evidence with legal integrity, leveraging trusted execution environments and blockchain for chain-of-custody guarantees. Their consistent use of blockchain across both projects suggests it is a core technical competency rather than a project-specific choice.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first project (SealedGRID, 2018), Neurosoft focused entirely on preventive security — stopping unauthorized access through decentralized authentication, distributed hash tables, key management, and trust federation for smart grid operators. By their second project (LOCARD, 2019), the focus shifted from prevention to response: how to collect, preserve, and present digital evidence after a cybercrime has occurred, engaging with law enforcement workflows and legal admissibility requirements. Blockchain is the technical thread connecting both phases, but its application evolved from identity federation to forensic chain-of-custody — a meaningful broadening of scope from infrastructure security into the legal-technical intersection of cybercrime investigation.

Neurosoft appears to be moving toward the law enforcement and justice technology sector, where blockchain and TEE expertise can serve legal evidentiary requirements — a growing market driven by EU cybercrime legislation and cross-border digital investigations.

How they like to work

Neurosoft has participated exclusively as a consortium member, never as project coordinator, which is consistent with a focused technical specialist rather than a project orchestrator. Across just two projects they engaged with 27 distinct partners in 10 countries — suggesting they join sizeable, multi-national consortia and contribute specific software development capabilities rather than leading the scientific or administrative agenda. This profile makes them a reliable specialist hire for consortia that need blockchain or cybersecurity implementation expertise without expecting them to manage the project.

Neurosoft has built a notably wide network relative to their project volume — 27 unique partners across 10 countries from only two participations, averaging 13-14 partners per project. Their network spans both academic and industry actors across MSCA and RIA funding schemes, indicating exposure to international research consortia beyond a purely Greek or Balkan geographic circle.

What sets them apart

Neurosoft occupies an unusual dual position within cybersecurity: they have hands-on experience with both the prevention side (identity, authentication, access control for infrastructure) and the investigation side (digital forensics, evidence continuity for law enforcement), which few SMEs can claim. Their consistent application of blockchain across both domains gives them a credible technical narrative that goes beyond buzzword adoption. For a consortium needing a software partner that can bridge security engineering and legal-forensic requirements — particularly in smart grid, IoT, or cybercrime contexts — Neurosoft offers a relatively rare combination.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SealedGRID
  Their largest funded project (EUR 270,000) tackled the complex intersection of smart grid security and decentralized identity, combining blockchain, DHT, and attribute-based access control in a critical infrastructure context under MSCA-RISE — an international mobility scheme indicating cross-border research collaboration.
• LOCARD
  A Horizon 2020 RIA security project building a lawful digital evidence platform for cybercrime — notable for placing Neurosoft's blockchain expertise directly in the law enforcement and judicial domain, with trusted execution environments as an advanced hardware security component.
