Redtrust

What Redtrust does

Redtrust, operated by the Spanish entity Evolium Technologies S.L.U., provides a centralized digital certificate lifecycle management platform that stores corporate certificates in encrypted repositories, enforces per-user and per-application usage policies, prevents unauthorized export, and maintains full audit trails of who used which certificate, when, and for what purpose. The platform is built on cryptographic key management, HSM (Hardware Security Module) and PKI infrastructure, and is extended by the Signtrust online-signing module (supporting DSS-standard XAdES, CAdES, and PAdES profiles), a Certificate-Based Authentication module that replaces passwords for corporate systems and VPN access, and a SOAP API that integrates with ERP, CRM, Active Directory, Adobe, AutoFirma, Outlook, Thunderbird, and document management systems.

The solution is sold across four deployment modalities — Cloud, Cloud MSP, HSM, and Virtual Machine — with pricing tied to user licenses, certificate volumes, and contract length. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (driven by a 'Request Demo' motion), a two-tier Silver/Gold Partner Program for channel-driven distribution, and API-first integration into corporate IT estates. Redtrust serves more than 1,500 organizations across banking and financial services (CaixaBank, Unicaja, Allianz, ASISA), public administration (Ayuntamiento de Alcobendas, Diputación de León), transportation and logistics (ALSA, DHL), construction and infrastructure (FCC, Ferrovial, SATOCAN), food and beverage (Nestlé, Danone, Italac), and legal services (Baker McKenzie). Since 2019 Redtrust has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyfactor, a multinational cryptoagility and cloud PKI provider, operating from offices in Barcelona and Madrid with active Brazil-market operations.

Revenue model

1. Cloud Subscription (Cloud & Cloud MSP): Redtrust offers cloud-hosted deployment modalities (Cloud and Cloud MSP) where certificates are custodied in the cloud. Pricing depends on the number of user licenses and the volume of certificates stored, with a minimum volume requirement.
2. On-Premise Deployment (HSM & Virtual Machine): On-premise deployment where the certificate custody server is located in a customer-controlled environment (HSM appliance or virtual machine). Customer is responsible for infrastructure availability. Typically sold as a perpetual license or long-term contract.
3. API and Integration Services: Revenue derived from API-based integrations enabling automated certificate management and digital signing within corporate systems (ERP, CRM, document managers). Integrated into the SOAP API deployment.

Core offering

Redtrust provides a patented, centralized digital certificate management platform that stores enterprise digital certificates in encrypted custody servers, governs their full lifecycle (issuance, renewal, revocation, expiration alerts), enforces granular per-user and per-application usage policies, and produces real-time audit trails. The platform extends into certificate-based authentication for passwordless access to corporate systems and a centralized digital signature module (Signtrust) supporting XAdES, CAdES, and PAdES profiles. It is delivered via Cloud, Cloud MSP, on-premise HSM, or Virtual Machine deployments and integrated into enterprise workflows through a SOAP API.

Product overview

Redtrust is a 360-degree digital certificate management platform consisting of the core Redtrust platform plus specialized modules. The core platform provides centralized certificate management, storage, and lifecycle governance, while Signtrust adds online document signing capabilities, the CBA module enables certificate-based authentication, and the API enables enterprise integrations. The solution is available in multiple deployment options: Cloud, Cloud MSP, HSM (on-premise with Hardware Security Module), and Virtual Machine (on-premise).

Products and services

• Redtrust Platform Centralized digital certificate management solution that enables organizations to manage the certificate lifecycle, enforce usage policies, monitor activities, and maintain detailed audits while certificates are stored in encrypted secure servers. Provides usage policy definition per employee and application, prevention of certificate export out of the organization, one-click revocation, and monitoring of all certificate actions.
• Signtrust Online digital signature module that enables users to sign documents completely online with centralized certificates from any device and browser without installing third-party software or the Redtrust agent. Supports XAdES, CAdES, and PAdES signature profiles. Accessible via personal URL for self-serve adoption within enterprise customer base.
• Redtrust API SOAP-based API that enables integration with corporate applications including ERP, CRM, and document managers. Supports digital signatures via the DSS standard (XAdES, CAdES, and PAdES profiles), automated certificate upload from corporate Certificate Authorities, user management synchronization from Active Directory, mass document signing, unattended signing, and signature request creation from document management systems.
• Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) Advanced security mechanism that uses centralized digital certificates for user identification when accessing corporate services, applications, VPN, cloud environments, and SSH. Replaces traditional passwords with asymmetric cryptography for robust and user-friendly authentication, with the certificate centrally custodied and controlled by Redtrust policies.
• Centralized Digital Signature Centralized digital signature capability that allows users to sign documents and communications with certificates stored in Redtrust. Supports three signature pathways: online via Signtrust from any browser, via the DSS standard API (XAdES, CAdES, PAdES), and through corporate applications such as Adobe and AutoFirma. Includes unattended and bulk document signing via API.
