SITC - Security Innovation & Technology Consortium

About SITC

SITC (the Security Innovation and Technology Consortium Ltd) is an industry led, not-for-profit company limited by guarantee which is dedicated to promoting security industry growth through greater exploitation of innovation and technology in security solutions. 

SITC is open to members with appropriate activities and commitment to its goals from across the UK and overseas.

It is governed by a Board of Directors and an Advisory Group drawn from a cross-section of the security industry (representing SMEs, Systems Integrators, End Users, Industry Associations and Research interests).

SITC’s Board and Advisory Group are accountable to its members and, if your company becomes a member of SITC, it will be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors and other key policy decisions at SITC General Meetings.  SITC Members take on a nominal (£1) legal commitment to underwriting the debts of SITC in the (unlikely) event of its insolvency.

Commitments Expected from SITC's Members, Directors and Advisory Group

SITC Members and Directors will be expected to share relevant market and technological knowledge and experience with SITC for the collective benefit of SITC members and the UK security industry. They should be willing to engage in partnerships and collaborations seeking to develop new innovative security solutions and take them to market. They will be expected to act in an open and transparent manner in all dealings with SITC and when representing or acting on behalf of SITC.

This does not preclude SITC's Members, Directors and Advisory Group members from seeking to derive commercial benefit from engagement with SITC or making use of support provided by SITC.  However, where any of SITC's Directors or Advisory Group members leads a commercial activity supported by SITC, their ‘commercial lead’ role must be clearly differentiated from any ‘open’ support activities organised on behalf of SITC members.

Any failure to act according to the spirit of these commitments would form grounds for complaint to the SITC Board and possible revocation of SITC membership.
