SCEPTRE brings together best-in-class British technology companies — including Hadean, 2iC, Vizgard, Kraken, Evolve Dynamics, and ACUA Ocean — into a modular, open-architecture ecosystem aligned to the Strategic Defence Review’s Digital Targeting Web and the Defence Industrial Strategy’s mandate for sovereign, SME-enriched supply chains. The consortium was recently down selected onto the MoD’s Digital Decision Accelerators for Defence (DDAD) framework.
Labrys contributes digital verification infrastructure, operationalised through Axiom — a secure mobile command and control platform. Axiom cryptographically verifies users, authenticates media at the point of capture, coordinates distributed teams, and enables secure payments across contested and degraded environments.
Within the SCEPTRE stack, Labrys addresses a foundational challenge: as networked and autonomous systems become central to how the UK operates, the ability to verify what is real — who sent it, where it came from, whether it has been altered —becomes the infrastructure layer upon which everything else depends. Sensors, effectors, AI-assisted decision-making, and coalition interoperability all rely on trusted data. Without digital verification at the base of the stack, speed and connectivity become liabilities rather than advantages.
Because this verification infrastructure was engineered to the non-negotiable requirements of defence — cryptographic precision, operational security, and resilience under pressure — it is inherently suited to environments beyond the battlefield where the same foundational problem exists. Humanitarian coordination in conflict zones, crisis response across fragmented organisations, secure media verification in an era of synthetic content, and compliant financial operations in high-risk jurisdictions all depend on the same thing: knowing that the information you are acting on is real, and that the person you are communicating with is who they say they are. The defence standard sets the ceiling, and it is that foundation which makes the technology credible wherever getting it wrong carries real consequences.
Labrys is a UK-founded, veteran-led company. Its co-founders served in the Royal Marines and British Army. The company holds protected cryptographic IP, is procurement-ready through G-Cloud and Commercial X, and maintains ISO 27001 andCyber Essentials Plus certification.
“The SCEPTRE consortium represents exactly the kind of approach the UK needs — proven sovereign technology companies working together to deliver capability that those on the front line can actually use, at a pace that matters. The next generation of networked and autonomous systems will only be as effective as the verification infrastructure beneath them. Axiom exists to provide that layer — ensuring that when decisions are being made at speed, the information underpinning them is authenticated and the communications carrying them are secure. We’re proud to contribute to that mission.”
Labrys Technologies is a UK-founded technology company building digital verification infrastructure for contested environments. The company’s platform, Axiom, provides cryptographic trust and secure command and control, operationalised through a mobile interface. Labrys is venture-backed, revenue-generating, and headquartered in the United Kingdom.
