Who are we?
Hi! We’re Beyond Encryption.
It's our mission to free your business from risk, so you can engage with your customers. We develop tech that puts security and simplicity at the heart of communications.
UK-based
Problem solvers
We build brilliant encryption technologies including Mailock®, nigel, and AssureScore, and we love solving problems for our customers.
People-first
Our 'why?'
Identity drives us
Our digital identity is made up of all the footprints we leave in our online interactions. Organisations have a duty to protect the information they hold for customers, but many unknowingly expose data to unsecured channels, putting identity at risk.
Securing identity
Enter, Mailock
Mailock powers businesses to communicate highly securely using a standard email client. In the process, it protects customer identity, heightens customer engagement, and improves operational efficiency. All this, while helping to make a positive impact.
Growing the Ecosystem
Watch this space
We’re passionate about helping companies to securely connect with customers - Mailock is just the start. It turns out, we use email for pretty much everything we do online, which makes it uniquely tied to our digital identity. We've tamed the world’s most unsecured medium, now we're exploring what that could mean for a more secure future.
