BRy Tecnologia

What BRy Tecnologia does

BRy Tecnologia is a Brazilian Trust Tech company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Florianópolis, specializing in legally valid digital trust solutions for electronic documents. The company operates four core product lines delivered via modular REST APIs and white-label portals: Bry Signer (digital signatures with over 3 billion processed), Bry iD (biometric identity verification with 30+ million records), Bry Carimbo do Tempo (timestamp authority with 1.5+ billion timestamps issued), and Bry Cert (digital certificate issuance with 1.5+ million certificates managed). All services comply with ICP-Brasil and ETSI standards; cloud-based certificate storage uses HSM-based key management (Bry KMS). BRy is accredited as a Trusted Service Provider by Brazil's ITI (Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia da Informação) and was the first private ACT with national technology and the first to develop a national PAdES ICP-Brasil signature solution.

The company serves enterprise and corporate customers, higher education institutions (with MEC portaria-compliant digital diploma issuance), banks and credit companies, government agencies, healthcare providers, and agribusiness firms across Brazil. Named customers include Banco Inter, Crefisa, Serasa, USP, Unesp, UFSC, LongPing High-Tech, AMAGGI, MPF, and Prontmed. Distribution combines an API-first self-serve developer portal (api-assinatura.bry.com.br), a transactional Bry Cloud e-commerce platform, and an enterprise field sales motion for large accounts. Technology partners such as Syngular, Selbetti, AppService/Aluno Digital, and RNP embed BRy APIs into their platforms via white-label or OEM integration, distributing BRy technology across hundreds of downstream institutions.

BRy generates revenue through three streams: credit-based API consumption (1 credit = R$ 1.00, with transactions between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.50 per use, non-expiring), monthly Bry Cloud subscriptions with bonus credits for certificate management, and enterprise white-label/licensing agreements with strategic partners. In 2023–2024, Certifica acquired BRy and merged it with Syngular to form Grupo CertificaCo, a group valued at approximately R$ 300 million, with BRy continuing to operate under its existing brand.
