Consortium governance
Membership, voting, upgrade and exit rules written down and agreed with participants before the network goes live.
Industry context
Blockchain platforms and networks in government and the public sector
We set up permissioned ledgers that several organisations run together, with the governance, identity and integration each member needs.
A permissioned ledger is shared infrastructure, so most of the work is governance: who runs nodes, who can join, how keys are issued and how members agree upgrades. We set up the network, the identity and membership model and the integration with each member's systems, and we document the operating rules every participant signs up to.
Government entities work to national digital government standards, with Arabic-first services and public accountability for every change. Service owners, policy and planning departments and government IT need each decision recorded in a form that internal audit and the digital government authority can review. Shared ledgers in the region often include government or regulated members, so data residency, the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL and each member's sector regulator shape what may be written to the ledger.
We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
What we deliver
Specialists in government and public sector and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.
Node and identity operations
Node hosting, certificate authorities and key issuance designed so each member controls its own identities and data.
Integration with member systems
Adapters that post to and read from the ledger without duplicating records already held in each member's core systems.
Digital government frameworks
We align delivery with the standards of the authority that oversees your entity, such as TDRA and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation, or the Digital Government Authority and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia, and plan sign-in through UAE PASS or Nafath where services use them.
Data placement rules
Rules for what is written on the ledger and what stays off it, so personal data is not stored where it cannot be erased.
Network operations
Monitoring, upgrades and incident handling shared between members under a written operating agreement.
What to have in place first
A shared ledger is worth building when several parties need the same record and none of them should hold it alone.
- The national standards and the oversight body the programme reports to have been identified.
- At least two organisations have agreed to share the ledger and named an owner on each side.
- The members have agreed which data goes on the ledger and which stays in their own systems.
