Where it all started

Beyond Encryption was founded in 2016 by Paul Holland. A serial tech entrepreneur, Paul saw the growing need for secure digital communications at the start of the internet era. After selling previous businesses to Capita and Experian, he turned his focus to building the team that would develop the identity technology behind Mailock, nigel, and AssureScore.

Growth

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.

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.
