Echoworx and SwissSign Partner to Strengthen Email Security for DACH Businesses

Driving revenue protection, regulatory compliance, and brand trust, this partnership integrates Swiss-made S/MIME certificates for seamless sender authentication, scalable encryption, and enhanced message integrity.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Echoworx, a global leader in cloud-based email encryption, has announced a strategic partnership with SwissSign, the top Swiss trust service provider operating in Central Europe and a globally recognized authority in secure digital certificates. SwissSign is distinguished by its rigorous Swiss-made approach—featuring root key material securely stored at Swiss banks, and operations housed in Swiss data centers.

The partnership marks an important step in Echoworx's expansion across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Email security is increasingly critical for protecting revenue, reputation, and regulatory compliance. However, only 40% of organizations have adopted enhanced email security, with many citing the complexity of S/MIME deployment, according to Gartner. Echoworx and SwissSign aim to simplify and scale email security, offering a user-friendly, automated solution.

Meeting Growing Cybersecurity Demands in DACH

DACH is one of Europe’s most digitally advanced and compliance-driven markets, particularly under tightening regulations such as FADP and GDPR. This collaboration represents a significant alignment of priorities. SwissSign’s impeccable credentials complement Echoworx’s expertise in email encryption, setting a higher standard for secure communication in this key region.

“Switzerland is one of Europe’s most digitally competitive regions,” said Steve Davis, Director of Products at Echoworx. “Our partnership with SwissSign ensures organizations don’t have to choose between security and usability. This is about solving real challenges with real solutions.”

Automating Email Security for Business Success

SwissSign, trusted for issuing over 2 million certificates globally, brings rigorous Swiss-made standards to Echoworx’s platform, delivering key benefits:

• Automated Certificate Management: Simplifies S/MIME deployment, reducing IT workloads and errors.
• Enhanced Phishing Protection: Verifies sender authenticity and protects against email tampering.
• Compliance-Driven Encryption: Enhances GDPR (TOM) compliance, reducing legal risks.

The automation of S/MIME provisioning also minimizes productivity disruptions, allowing businesses to adopt Zero-Trust security principles without compromising efficiency.

“Businesses increasingly recognize that data breaches are not just IT problems—they’re revenue and reputation problems,” said Anantha Ayer, CEO SwissSign. “With over 20 years of experience and by providing trusted Swiss quality certificates for Echoworx we tackle these challenges head-on, proving that convenience and security can, and should, go hand in hand.”

The integration of Echoworx and SwissSign brings advanced S/MIME encryption, addressing critical security and compliance demands in one of Europe’s most competitive markets. This partnership reinforces their leadership in secure communication.
