We help teams collaborate securely and easily by protecting their data with end-to-end encryption.

Why we’re building Tresorit

At Tresorit, our mission is to give you full control over your data. So we built a solution that shields your information – whether you decide to keep it to yourself or share it with the world.

  • Our values - We value privacy as a human right.

    The right to privacy can be lived in multiple ways: Here at Tresorit, we endorse equality, inclusion, individuality, and a culture of acceptance.

  • Our Mission - We encrypt everything to know nothing.

    The mission of Tresorit is to protect privacy and confidential information by offering enterprise-grade security and compliance thanks to our end-to-end-encrypted productivity solutions. To make both internal and external collaboration seamless and secure, companies can rely on our wide array of advanced security and admin features.

  • 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. We believe that secure tools should seamlessly fit into workflows. Our goal is to keep Tresorit as simple as possible, so that people can stay secure without having to learn new ways of doing things.

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.
