About the Company

SmartPoints™ Technology, Inc. was chartered with the sole mission of providing gold-standard security solutions to various industries yielding unparalleled data integrity, providence, and management capabilities that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and reduce risks.  

Company history

The Beginning of SmartPoints™

Following the events of 9-11, SmartPoints™ Technology’s chief scientist was recruited by the United States Homeland Defense and asked to create a new, state-of-the-art  communications technology which resulted in the adoption of the technology by US Department of Defense. SmartPoints’ multi patented technology has evolved vastly since its inception and represents an aggregated global mind-share of many of the technology industry’s foremost knowledge authorities and leading subject matter experts.    

So, what is SmartPoints™ Technology?   Technically, it’s an Asset Governance Protocol.  To understand what that means for you, let’s step back and look at the big picture.

The volume of various digital communication products and services is exploding. Most people shop, bank and facilitate their lives over the internet.  While fields of science such as AI and predictive analytics can yield positive outcomes, there are nuisance 

technologies (i.e. phishing, malware, ransom ware, injections, etc.) which are also subsequently exploding in growth and gaining more sophistication.  Most attacks are targeted at systems, routers, transports, storage schemas, etc., which are comprised of disjointed and inconsistently regulated hardware/firmware/software.  Thus, it’s  no wonder that the global internet ecosystem can’t be expected to protect your data as it sits at rest, is used, or is in transit.         

But . . . what if it didn’t need to?  What if your data was itself safe . . . from the inside out? What if your data had intelligence, security and a unique identity? Imagine data that would  know what to do, under terms and conditions, depending on who or what was interacting with it.  Imagine data  that could self-align, self-manage, and self-enforce with terms and context built into it. If your data could do this,  it would always be safe, regardless of its state or external surroundings. Your data wouldn’t just be information, your data would be smart.  It would be SmartPoints™. 

Interested in how SmartPoint works?

SmartPoints™ is not simply another system or patch product. SmartPoints™ embeds ultra- security and granular level control into the data itself at the data element level. This results in your data being completely secured and under your control whether at rest, in transit, or in use.
