Full Credential Description
SecureMailbox, founded in Stockholm in 2011, faced significant challenges related to data protection amidst increasing security risks and privacy concerns in the digital communication landscape. Recognizing the urgency of these issues, particularly as the EU was revising its data protection regulations, SecureMailbox aimed to provide a robust European solution that aligned with these new standards. The company developed a transmission platform that allows users to send messages securely and verifiably, utilizing advanced encryption technology. This innovation was crucial for various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and government, where the exchange of sensitive information is paramount.
To support its growth and international expansion, SecureMailbox sought financial assistance and received an EU-guaranteed loan from Almi Företagspartner, an EIF financial intermediary. This funding, part of the Investment Plan for Europe, enabled the company to hire additional staff and enhance its operational capabilities. Furthermore, in 2015, SecureMailbox launched the SecureAppbox, a product designed to facilitate the development of government and e-health applications that comply with EU data privacy regulations, further solidifying its market position.
By December 2016, SecureMailbox was poised for further growth, opening new offices in the Nordic region. The support from Almi Företagspartner was instrumental in this journey, providing not only financial backing but also a trusted partnership that allowed SecureMailbox to scale effectively. The companys commitment to data protection and compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was recognized when it became the first cloud service provider to receive a Privasee SEAL. This achievement underscored the unique benefits and competitive advantage SecureMailbox gained through its innovative solutions and strategic partnerships.
