Offering

Data security that we plan, implement and operate with you.

Encryption with OpenText SecureData, certificates and keys with Entrust, protection when using AI. We have implemented encryption for companies in the financial and communications sectors.

As a project or operated by us

Format-preserving, for existing applications

Data and keys kept separate

SecureData operated by us in Switzerland

Services

What we protect for you.

From a single database to a cloud application: we design, implement and operate, as a project or as a service.

Applications and databases

Sensitive fields in standard applications, in-house developments and databases are encrypted in a format-preserving way. Digits remain digits, field formats are preserved; we check the integration against your application.

SaaS and cloud

We encrypt the fields to be protected before they go to the cloud or SaaS provider: in the application, via a proxy or via a gateway. At the provider, these fields are stored encrypted. Together with you, we decide where the keys are held: with you, in an HSM or in our operations in Switzerland.

Test data

Test data that keeps the structure and format of the real data. A protected IBAN keeps its structure and, as a rule, does not pass the IBAN check.

View by role

The role decides who sees what in plaintext: customer service, for example, sees the last four digits; analytics sees only protected values.

PKI and certificates

Managing certificates across their entire lifecycle and renewing them automatically, your own certification authorities on-premises or as a service, with the Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform.

Keys and HSM

Managing keys centrally with the Entrust CSP Key Manager (formerly KeyControl), connected to Entrust nShield HSMs to protect the master keys. We also support the generational changeover of HSMs during live operation.

Security for AI

In the protected chat, Praevana replaces recognised names and identifiers with placeholders before the text goes to the external language model. SecureData protects structured fields in databases, SaaS and analytics in a format-preserving way.

Tailored data security

Concept, implementation and consulting for projects with high data security requirements.

Approach

In four steps from assessment to operation.

01

Assess feasibility

  • Selection of an application (on-premises or in the cloud)

  • Definition of the fields to be protected and their formats

  • Encryption in a test environment

  • Application test: does everything still run?

02

Concept

  • Solution architecture

  • Encryption and key concept

  • Integration of the applications

  • Test and operating concept

03

Implementation

  • Encryption and HSM infrastructure

  • Integration of the applications

  • Handover to operations

04

Operation

  • Support for your operations, or operation of the entire service by us

  • For Entrust products: licences, maintenance and support, with Prewen as first point of contact

Vendor

One point of contact, even when the vendor is involved.

We are a partner of OpenText and a partner of Entrust. For Entrust products, we advise, supply the licences, implement and handle support; Prewen is your first point of contact. If a project requires Entrust's Professional Services, we coordinate them: Entrust delivers as a subcontractor, and your contracting party remains Prewen.

Security principle

Data and keys kept separate.

Encrypted data and key material are stored and protected separately from each other. Anyone who gets hold of only the data finds encrypted values. SecureData derives the key from a master key and the identity instead of storing it: no key is stored per protected value.

Data

encrypted

Keys

protected separately

Initial discussion

Where is your most sensitive data?

In an initial discussion, we clarify which data and applications are your focus and which approach fits.
