WISeKey Meets All
WebTrust Requirements for Its
OISTE/WISeKey Root of Trust
Geneva and Zug Switzerland – June 22, 2023 – WISeKey
International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”, SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY), a
global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions, today announces the attainment of the
WebTrust seal of assurance, having met all the audit requirements
for its OISTE/WISeKey Root of Trust. This critical achievement
reinforces WISeKey’s commitment to adhering to the highest
standards in cybersecurity and data integrity.
WebTrust, a comprehensive evaluation standard jointly developed
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA),
conducts rigorous annual audits to assess the adequacy and
effectiveness of controls deployed by Certification Authorities
(CAs).
WISeKey has fulfilled all stipulations across three essential
areas:
- WebTrust for Certification
Authorities: This validates that WISeKey has maintained
stringent controls in the issuance and management of digital
certificates.
- WebTrust for Baseline
Requirements: WISeKey demonstrated robust controls
conforming to the CA/B Forum “Baseline Requirements for the
Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates.”
- WebTrust for Extended
Validation: WISeKey satisfied all regulations against the
CA/B Forum “Guidelines for the Issuance and Management of EV
Certificates,” ensuring only suitably accredited CAs issue EV
SSL.
In addition to WebTrust, WISeKey maintains a multitude of
independent audits and accreditations pertinent to various
jurisdictions and industries of its multinational clients,
including key recognition for the most relevant IoT Standards, such
as the recent accreditation for Matter, the new standard for home
automation and IoT endorsed by the CSA and all major players such
as Google, Apple and Amazon. WISeKey also is recognized as trusted
root for the Wi-Sun Alliance and GSMA.
The independent audit also covers the creation of a new set of
Root Certification Authorities, which are created with the highest
cryptography standards and that will be the foundation of a new set
of post-quantum trust services, on which WISeKey is heavily
investing also with the SEALSQ affiliate, in order to jointly
propose quantum-resistant solutions that combine all the required
software and hardware components.
Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey, commented, "The
achievement of the WebTrust assurance is a testament to WISeKey's
unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest level of security,
data protection, and operational excellence for our clients. We
will continue to adhere to and exceed the globally recognized
standards that enhance trust in our digital world."
The attainment of the WebTrust requirements elevates WISeKey's
position as a leading cybersecurity company and provides assurance
to clients that the company's security controls meet the most
stringent international standards.
