TRLUP-Commercialization Strategy for a Secure Enterprise Management Platform (SEMP) for SMEs and Institutions In Nova Scotia

I am developing and commercializing a cybersecurity and enterprise management platform through Shortlist Enterprises Canada, a Nova Scotia–based technology company that integrates information security, data management, and business process automation into one scalable solution. The platform is designed to help small and medium-sized organizations operate more securely and efficiently while enabling compliance with ISO 27001 and Canadian privacy standards.
This project represents a continuation of my academic and professional journey in cybersecurity and digital forensics. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Security and Forensics from Kabarak University, Kenya. I am currently in Year 2, Semester 1 of my Diploma in IT Systems Management and Security at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), and in Year 1, Semester 2 of my Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics at the Open University of Kenya. These programs have equipped me with a blend of theoretical and applied expertise that I am leveraging to build this innovative, Canadian-born technology.
Through this initiative, I aim to strengthen Canada’s innovation ecosystem by developing a homegrown cybersecurity product that can compete globally. The project will empower local talent in Cape Breton, create knowledge-based jobs, and demonstrate that world-class digital solutions can be built in Atlantic Canada and exported worldwide.
