We are proud to announce that Roseman Labs and our customer UMC Utrecht have won the Dutch Privacy Award 2026 in the Technology category, making this our third consecutive year on the podium at the National Privacy Awards.
In 2024, we took the stand with Publiek Vervoer Groningen-Drenthe, in 2025, with Gemeente Rotterdam. And now in 2026, with UMC Utrecht and the SCAN dataspace.
The award was presented on 28 January at the National Privacy Conference in The Hague, organised by Privacy First and ECP | Platform for the Information Society on European Data Protection Day.
The Project: NSK Data Workshop
The NSK (National Child Abuse Reporting Tool) Data Workshop is a joint initiative of UMC Utrecht and Roseman Labs. It addresses one of the most urgent challenges in pediatric care: identifying child abuse early enough to intervene while protecting the privacy of children and families.
Using Roseman Labs' Secure Multi-Party Computation technology, sensitive patient data is processed exclusively in encrypted form. Hospitals can collectively learn from patterns across institutions without any raw data ever being shared or becoming traceable.
"As healthcare providers, we see every day how devastating child abuse is for children and their future development. Changing this requires cooperation, because no single hospital or doctor can solve this problem alone. This technology helps us do that."

The solution is complemented by PerSPEctive, a modular toolkit developed by Health Data Space Utrecht that acts as an interface between end users and the encrypted data and runs within the secure anDREa B.V. Digital Research Environment. This makes the entire stack scalable and replicable: healthcare institutions can independently set up comparable data workspaces within just a few months.
What the Jury Said
The jury praised the “combination of technical innovation, social relevance, and practical applicability” and highlighted the NSK Data Workshop as an inspiring example for responsible data collaboration across the future European Health Data Space.
Jury chairman Marlon Domingus noted that the Dutch Privacy Awards exist to show that "data protection is not a brake, but a condition and catalyst for responsible innovation and social renewal." The NSK Data Workshop, the jury concluded, does exactly that.
Three Wins, One Consistent Belief
Winning three years in a row across three very different sectors, public transport, municipal services, and hospital care, reflects something we've believed since day one: privacy and impact are not in tension. They reinforce each other.
Every win confirms that encrypted analytics can work in the real world, at scale, on problems that genuinely matter.
