Data Safe Technology
Swiss Companies Capitalize on the DataSafe Trend
Zurich, Switzerland - 8 October 2009 - DSwiss, the Swiss bank for digital assets and leading independent technology and consultancy firm, Zühlke Switzerland (Zühlke), announced today that they have formed an alliance to provide their technology for data protection, DSwiss DataSafe Technology, to the world's leading financial institutions, insurance companies and the health sector.
Following the success of the consumer Internet data safe, DataInherit (www.datainherit.com), which was designed and developed by the two companies, DSwiss and Zühlke are making the technology, DSwiss DataSafe Technology, available to other interested companies who wish to offer an online data safe to their customers.
Internet data-safes are web-based solutions that enable users to store documents, data and passwords in a safe and secure manner, which they can access anytime, anywhere. They have become an important tool in ensuring confidential and private communication between companies and their customers as well as reducing operational costs. The Internet data-safe solutions from DSwiss and Zühlke give client access to a proven, cost-effective technology that they can brand, customise and launch before their customers start looking elsewhere for a solution provider to store their digital assets.
Lukas von Känel, Managing Partner at DSwiss explains: "Companies that share and exchange important data and information with their customers face the challenge of how to guarantee the confidentiality and security of this information, whilst continuing to offer a simple and convenient service. There is a growing need for companies to go paperless to protect the privacy of their customers and our technology, DSwiss DataSafe Technology, provides them with a market-proven product that is ready to go."
Walter Hürsch, Partner at Zühlke added: "Our solution was two years in the making and was developed by a team of highly regarded software engineers with expertise in the area of Internet banking and security. We can therefore guarantee that our clients get access to cutting-edge technology. Internet data safes help to provide a unique value proposition to a company's current offering by simplifying and securing the electronic interaction with their customers."
DSwiss DataSafe Technology has obtained the highest security standards in both development and infrastructure. The solution has a streamlined architecture which provides low risk and comes with the added protection of a 2-factor authentication option and fully guaranteed encryption. The prioritization of the technology's protective mechanisms is based on the recommendations of the National Institute of Standardization (NIST 800-54, 800-18) and also those of OWASP. The integrated digital escrow system can also be used for various scenarios of conditional access such as data hand-over in emergency situations.
