MULTICERT is a Portuguese company of the SIBS Group specialized in Digital Security and Certification, with solid experience in industries like Banking, Financial Sector, Health, Energy, Public Administration, Utilities and Retail. In 2001 we were born as a spin-off of the Research & Development unit of SIBS. This allowed the creation of a new agile and dynamic company with security at its core. Today, with almost 20 years of experience, MULTICERT has consolidated its position as a digital security expert, by developing electronic security solutions, enabling digital processes and secure digital authentication, and with a solid international presence, with projects in more than 20 countries. And in 2020 we returned to the SIBS Group. Unifying the two companies was a natural evolution in a time and context of clear convergence of both companies’ strategy, market vision, and pathway. With this unification, SIBS CyberWatch was also born. Welcome to a more secure digital world!
