A University of Portsmouth Spin-off

Every discipline, one browser-based lab.

Cyber, AI, drones, Arduino, EEE and programming. Spin up isolated, hands-on environments for any student, in seconds. No installs. No virtual machines. No infrastructure to run.

Spin up in seconds

One click launches an isolated, browser-based environment with the right tools pre-installed. No queue, no setup window.

Isolated by design

Every student gets a private, containerised lab. Cross-contamination is impossible. Fair to assess, safe at scale.

Run from anywhere

If your students have a browser, they have a lab. Works on Chromebooks, iPads and lab desktops alike. No plugin, no VPN client.

Capabilities

Built for the disciplines you actually teach.

One platform across cybersecurity, AI/ML, robotics, embedded systems, electrical engineering and programming. Every module ships with real tools, not toys.

Cyber Security · CTF

Browser-based Kali. Real-world challenges.

Penetration testing, CTF, forensics. Every student in their own isolated Kali workstation, mapped to UK QAA outcomes. Live scoreboard, flag submission, lecturer dashboards.

Why unignosis

Stop running infrastructure. Start running your courses.

Most universities patch together VMs, lab PCs, OpenVPN appliances and software licences. unignosis replaces the lot.

Without unignosis

Most lab platforms ask too much.

  • Each module needs its own VM image, kept up to date by IT.
  • Per-seat licensing balloons with cohort size.
  • Students lose hours installing tools that "should just work".
  • Cross-discipline modules require multiple separate platforms.
  • Cyber-only platforms ignore AI, robotics and embedded courses.
With unignosis

One platform. Every discipline. Zero infrastructure.

  • Browser-based, isolated environments, provisioned in seconds.
  • Institution-licensed, 10–100× lower cost than commercial alternatives.
  • Cyber, AI, drones, Arduino, EEE, programming, from one platform.
  • Mapped to UK QAA Computing Subject Benchmark for accreditation evidence.
  • Built and supported in the UK, hosted in the UK or EU.
How it works

From curriculum to running labs in three steps.

01 · Onboard

We map your modules

Send us your course structure. We map each module to ready-built unignosis labs and identify any custom builds needed.

02 · Pilot

Sandbox in two weeks

A live institutional sandbox URL with your branding and a sample cohort, ready for lecturers to walk through.

03 · Roll out

Cohort-scale, day one

Your students log in, launch labs, complete assignments. Lecturers track progress in real time. We handle the rest.

Frequently asked

The questions universities ask first.

Do we need Moodle, Canvas or another LMS to use unignosis?
No. unignosis is a complete teaching platform. Course management, enrolment, assignments, assessment, live scoreboard and lecturer analytics are all built in. Universities run unignosis as a standalone system.
How are students isolated from each other?
Every student receives a private, containerised environment with its own network namespace. Cross-contamination is impossible. Students cannot reach each other's labs unless explicitly placed into a shared team workspace by a lecturer.
Is unignosis mapped to the UK QAA Computing Subject Benchmark?
Yes. We are the only browser-based academic lab platform that is. Each lab is tagged to specific QAA learning outcomes, making accreditation evidence straightforward.
What does unignosis cost compared to commercial cyber-range platforms?
unignosis is institution-licensed, typically 10 to 100 times lower than per-seat commercial platforms. Pricing is per-cohort or per-institution, not per-student.
Where is student data stored? Is unignosis GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Data is held in the UK or EU at the customer's choice, never used for training third-party models, and deleted on request or per your retention policy.
Can unignosis be deployed on-premise?
Yes. unignosis is fully containerised and can run on your university's own infrastructure or as a managed service.

Bring labs without the labs.

Twenty minutes to walk through your curriculum. Two weeks to a working pilot. We'll show you how it fits.
