Insights

Technology Security Analyst

Damon's end-to-end encryption initiative bolsters competitive positioning in connected mobility market, potentially opening new OEM partnership opportunities.

Damon Inc. is strategically positioning its I/O platform as a security-first solution in the emerging connected mobility space. The implementation of end-to-end encryption for telematics data represents a meaningful differentiation in a market increasingly concerned with data privacy and security. This encryption approach—protecting data both in transit and at rest—addresses legitimate consumer concerns that have historically limited adoption of fully connected vehicles.

The company's forward-looking stance on quantum computing threats demonstrates technological foresight that could become a competitive advantage as quantum computing capabilities advance. While quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption aren't commercially viable yet, preparing now allows Damon to future-proof its platform architecture.

Most significantly, Damon's white-label strategy for its I/O platform presents a potential revenue diversification opportunity. By offering this secure platform to OEM partners, Damon could establish itself as an infrastructure provider in the personal mobility space rather than just a vehicle manufacturer. This approach mirrors successful business models in other technology sectors where platforms often generate higher margins and more stable revenue streams than hardware products alone.

The emphasis on compliance with global privacy regulations (GDPR, CPRA, PIPEDA) indicates Damon is preparing for international scalability of its platform offering, potentially opening doors to European and broader North American markets for both its vehicles and white-label technology.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Damon Inc. (OTCID: DMNIF) ("Damon" or the "Company"), a designer and developer of electric motorcycles and other personal mobility products that seek to empower the personal mobility sector through innovation, today announced that its Damon I/O platform is positioned to become one of the first in the personal mobility sector to adopt end-to-end encryption for all telematics data, both in transit and at rest. This move is designed to ensure that all ride logs, location histories, diagnostics, and user profiles are fully encrypted from the edge device to the cloud server, which enhances cybersecurity protections for this sensitive data.

Security of our customer's data is a priority for Damon. The company is not only focused on securing data against today's cybersecurity threats but is also preparing for the next era of cyber threats by working towards enhancing our defenses to prepare for quantum computing. This includes getting ready to defend against advanced cryptographic methods and increased malware threats that will be supercharged with quantum computing capabilities. This means Damon I/O is addressing the cybersecurity concerns of today AND tomorrow.

"Connected doesn't have to mean compromising," said Dom Kwong, CEO of Damon Inc. "By building for a post-quantum future today, we're ready to continue protecting our riders' data as much as possible for decades to come, giving them the confidence to embrace connected personal mobility vehicles without fear."

In addition to these advanced security measures, Damon I/O is expected to comply with major global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in the United States. The company is also working towards compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada. This commitment will help ensure that both individual riders and OEM partners can benefit from the highest standards of data protection.

We aim to include these industry-leading security and compliance standards in all Damon personal mobility vehicles and offer them to OEM partners through the white-label Damon I/O platform. Damon believes this can allow other manufacturers to rapidly deploy advanced, secure, and compliant connected experiences for their own customers.
