Transforming National Security & Immigration Governance

Crypto Technologies, a specialized technology division of GY & Sons Holding, was commissioned by the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini under Tender No. 22 of 2021/22 to engineer, deploy, and operationalize the Modern Digital Integrated System (MDIS) & PERMITS System.

Prior to this initiative, permit applications, temporary residence cards, citizenship clearances, and work authorizations relied heavily on physical paper workflows, manual background checks, and decentralized verification processes. Crypto Technologies designed an end-to-end digital ecosystem featuring automated multi-tier workflow routing, 1:N biometric fingerprint deduplication, cryptographic smart card personalization, and secure real-time APIs connecting the Royal Eswatini Police Service, Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Ministry of Labour, and Department of Immigration.
