CEO Brian Spector founded CertiVox with other data security specialists in 2008 to help people protect their business and individual privacy. The company opened its offices in Shoreditch in 2011.
CertiVox partnered with low-power customer specific standard product (CSSP) provider QuickLogic in February 2012, in efforts to jointly develop data security solutions across platforms. Also in February, CertiVox acquired Shamus Software, the creator of the MIRACL cryptographic library.
In 2011, CertiVox received $1.46 million in Series A funding led by Pentech Ventures and Octopus Investments.
In 2012, CertiVox launched a service called PrivateSky allowing users to encrypt messages and large files up to 5GB. Its design offers Government, businesses, and individuals one-click security in Microsoft Outlook. and HTML5 web browsers.
