WISeKey Renews WebTrust Seal of Assurance, Reinforcing Consumer Confidence in Cybersecurity Solutions
WISeKey International Holding Ltd, a global leader in cybersecurity and IoT solutions, has announced the renewal of the WebTrust seal of assurance. This renewal demonstrates WISeKey’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and reliability in its digital identity and cybersecurity solutions.
The WebTrust for Certification Authorities program, managed by Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada, was initially developed to enhance consumer confidence in ecommerce and PKI technology. WISeKey’s compliance with this program reinforces consumer trust in its services.
WISeKey has fulfilled all audit requirements across four essential areas: WebTrust for Certification Authorities, WebTrust for Baseline Requirements, WebTrust for Extended Validation, and WebTrust for S-MIME. These validations highlight WISeKey’s stringent controls in the issuance and management of digital certificates, ensuring the highest levels of security and compliance.
WISeKey’s Trust Services are delivered through advanced certificate management platforms that leverage automation and crypto-agility. This enables customers to reduce operational costs and risks by efficiently managing certificate rollover in case of expiration or revocation.
In addition to WebTrust, WISeKey maintains additional independent audits and accreditations relevant to various jurisdictions and industries. The company has received key recognition for IoT standards, such as accreditation for Matter, the new home automation and IoT standard endorsed by major players like Google, Apple, and Amazon.
WISeKey is also recognized as a trusted root for the Wi-Sun Alliance and GSMA. Trusted Root CAs, like WISeKey’s OISTE/WISeKey Root, play a crucial role in the Public Key Infrastructure ecosystem. They issue and verify digital certificates for lower-level Certification Authorities, ensuring the integrity and security of the entire chain of trust.
WISeKey’s WebTrust compliance means that its Root CAs meet stringent regulatory standards, facilitating its customers’ compliance efforts. Furthermore, trusted Root CAs are embedded in major browsers and operating systems, ensuring universal acceptance and trust by a wide range of applications and platforms.
Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey, expressed his satisfaction with the renewal of the WebTrust assurance, stating that it demonstrates the reliability of WISeKey’s Trust Services and brings the highest security and compliance levels to their customers.
