Our Vision – We empower people to take control of their data.
We understand that in today’s connected world ‘getting the job done’ requires constant communication with external collaborators. Managing this process efficiently is a key component to success.
Our vision is to empower all in getting back the control over their digital valuables, regardless from the form of work they choose to follow.

Our story
Our story started when Istvan Lam, at the age of 12, received his first cryptography book as a gift from his family. It sparked his interest in cybersecurity and led him to start his fight for digital privacy in his late teens and research cryptography further. Ten years later in 2011, he founded Tresorit with two other university students and the head of a leading IT security institution. Since then, Tresorit has grown into a company bringing secure collaboration to teams all over the world.
