About ASTIS
We're building ASTIS on one belief: infrastructure access shouldn't mean data access.
ASTIS (Adaptive Secure Trusted Identity Services) was founded with a simple mission: build a cryptographic trust layer that lets organizations encrypt, sign, apply format-preserving encryption, and audit sensitive business data without sending business-payload plaintext to ASTIS or infrastructure providers.
We ship two products on the same trust layer: ASTIS Mail — a ready-made encrypted workspace for regulated communications — and the ASTIS API platform(with the optional ASTIS HYOK CVS self-hosted deployment) for engineering teams embedding encryption, signing, format-preserving encryption, or audit chains into their own products and pipelines.
We believe access to infrastructure should not automatically mean access to data. ASTIS separates storage, delivery, and computation from cryptographic control — so compromising ASTIS storage, databases, or backups does not by itself expose business-payload plaintext, and HYOK and HYOK CVS keep key-processing authority on customer infrastructure. EU/EEA-hosted data plane on dedicated servers, customer-controlled keys, and tamper-evident audit trails are the default, not premium add-ons.
Our Values
What drives us every day
Infrastructure access ≠ data access
Our founding belief: operating the systems that store, route, or process data should never mean reading the data inside them.
Customer-controlled by default
You hold the keys and the decryption authority — not ASTIS, not your cloud provider, not your vendors.
Verifiable, not “trust us”
We show the proof: signatures anyone can verify, live dogfood checks, and an honest readiness posture — no claimed certifications we haven’t completed.
Open standards
Built on proven, open cryptography — OpenPGP and standard primitives — for compatibility and no lock-in.
Our Mission
To make zero-knowledge cryptographic trust the default for business data — accessible to any organization, in any workflow, without rebuilding the application.
We envision a world where customer data is unreadable by infrastructure operators by construction, not by policy.
