Security Standards & Certifications: Proof at Every Layer

Security isn't a feature here. It's the foundation. For the world's most regulated institutions, every encrypted message must be auditable, governed, and provable. This page is the proof.

Security Assurance Technology Brief

[Why it matters]

Compliance Is the Catalyst

DORA, NIS2, GDPR, and KRITIS made security a board-level mandate. Encryption must be auditable, governed, sovereign, and provable — across every cross-border exchange.

Standard platform security rarely clears that bar.

Compliance is the driver. Echoworx is the control.

[Certifications & Accreditations]

Independently Certified. Repeatedly Verified.

Third-party assurance isn’t a convenience. It’s a requirement. Echoworx is reviewed by the authorities that matter — and passes, every time.

Certification

What It Confirms
SOC 2 Annual independent audit of processes, controls, and systems for privacy, confidentiality, availability, and integrity.
PCI DSS Level 1 The highest tier of payment account data security for Encrypted Mail and Secure Portal.
AWS Qualified Software Passed the AWS Foundational Technical Review against the Well-Architected Framework.
FSQS Registered A vetted financial-services supplier across the UK, Ireland, and Northern Europe.
OpenID Connect RP One of fewer than 30 organizations worldwide.

Clients in 30 countries and more than 5,000 deployments trust this proof every day.

The burden of proof matters as much as the control. Echoworx delivers both.

[Cryptography]

Cryptographic Standards That Hold

Strong encryption is the starting line, not the finish.

  • RSA 2048-bit asymmetric encryption.
  • AES-256 symmetric encryption.
  • SHA-2 hashing for integrity.
  • ANSI X.509 certificates and S/MIME email protocols.

Hardware-Backed Keys via AWS KMS

Echoworx integrates with AWS Key Management Service (KMS), powered by tamper-resistant HSMs validated to FIPS 140-3 Level 3. Keys for Portal, PGP, and S/MIME live only in protected HSM memory.

Never exposed. Always governed.

Control stays yours. The cryptographic material never leaves protection.

[Quantum resilience]

Ready for the Quantum Era

Tomorrow’s threats demand today’s preparation. Echoworx is rolling out hybrid post-quantum cryptography, following NIST-recommended algorithms.

  • Quantum-safe algorithms across S/MIME, PGP, and TLS ahead of broad adoption.
  • KMS-based AES keys strengthen Portal and PDF messages.
  • Hybrid post-quantum TLS protects AWS KMS API calls.

Secure today. Engineered to stay secure tomorrow.

[Data centers & Sovereignty]

Data Sovereignty Across Five Regions

Where your data lives is a governance decision. Echoworx runs secure, high-performance data centers across the US, UK, Germany, Ireland, and Canada.

  • Engineered to the highest standards for security and redundancy.
  • SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO certified across physical, system, and operational security.
  • Strict access controls and continuous review.

Data stays close to home — aligned to every cross-border obligation.

[Architecture]

Defense Engineered in Layers

Resilience comes from architecture, not assurances.

  • Layered zones restrict public access to the outermost zone only.
  • Front-end services isolated from operational components and the most sensitive assets — private keys and hashed credentials.
  • Multiple firewalls enforce strict policies across every segment.
  • Intrusion detection delivers real-time alerts for immediate response.

Protection is never left to chance. It’s designed into every layer.

[Operational Resilience]

Resilience You Can Demonstrate

For regulated institutions, resilience is the regulator’s language.

  • Full regional redundancy with data replicated in real time for disaster recovery.
  • Business continuity and DR plans tested at least annually.
  • Continuous governance through documented policies, annual risk assessments, and external audits.
  • Personnel controls including background checks, confidentiality agreements, and role-based training.

Resilience you can demonstrate — not just declare.

Security Built for Institutions That Cannot Compromise

Echoworx aligns auditability, data sovereignty, hardware-backed keys, and continuous governance to the standards regulators, auditors, and architecture boards demand.
