The United Kingdom’s National Archives has granted a Research and Development (R&D) licence to Cyberpedia Internet Governance, enabling the African technology company to use official machine-readable archives to develop a public due diligence case search and summarisation service.

Under the agreement, Cyberpedia will use the current version of the licensed material to build a proof-of-concept platform that will provide open public access to advanced search capabilities and artificial intelligence-generated summaries of UK court judgments.

The licence was formalised between The National Archives and Cyberpedia Internet Governance.

President of Cyberpedia Internet Governance, Abiodun Sowemimo, described the partnership as a transformative milestone for the company and for transparent access to verified data globally.

According to him, the collaboration would combine official public archives with Cyberpedia’s advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to improve access to critical information for citizens, researchers, businesses and institutions.

“This partnership with the UK National Archives represents a transformative milestone for Cyberpedia and for transparent access to verified data worldwide. By harnessing official public archives with our advanced AI capabilities, we are democratising critical information, empowering citizens, researchers, businesses and institutions with faster, more accurate insights,” Sowemimo said.

He added that the partnership underscores the company’s commitment to ethical innovation, digital governance and building trust in public data systems.

“We are immensely proud to bridge African technological excellence with one of the world’s most respected archival institutions, advancing accountability and global information equity,” he said.

Cyberpedia is a due diligence search engine application and one of Africa’s leading artificial intelligence, data and cybersecurity companies.

The company operates an AI-powered real-time due diligence search engine that provides background checks on individuals, organisations and entities for litigation, investigation, governance, risk management and compliance purposes.

The company is a member of the World Economic Forum, the Internet Society and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

Its platform delivers tools for monitoring and removing malicious search results, harmful social media content and exposed private information, supporting digital reputation management, crisis response and efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation.

Beyond due diligence services, Cyberpedia provides domain, IP and DNS intelligence that supports commercial security platforms, threat detection, third-party risk management, identity access management and broader cybersecurity operations.

Its intelligence services are used by law enforcement agencies, managed security service providers, security operations centres, diplomatic missions, multinational corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises.

The company said the new service would be accessible through Cyberpedia’s platform⁠ on web and mobile applications for iOS and Android devices.

The partnership is expected to enhance transparency, accountability and access to justice-related information by leveraging official public records and advanced artificial intelligence tools to provide users around the world with easier access to legal information and case-related data.
