The Egress Trust Network
The Trust Network is made up of both paying and free Switch subscribers, who are able to share information securely with one another using a single global identity. The Trust Network currently has over one million members.
Industry certification and recognition
In October 2013, Egress Switch was certified by CESG against Desktop and Gateway Email Encryption Security Characteristics as part of their Commercial Product Assurance program. This makes Switch suitable for sharing IL2 and low-threat IL3 data under current guidelines, and OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL SENSITIVE under the new Government Classification Policy.
In May 2014, Egress Switch encryption services became available to procure via the G-Cloud 5 Framework, the UK Government’s program committed to the adoption of Cloud services across the Public Sector. Through the G-Cloud Framework, Public Sector organizations will be able to procure the following Egress Switch services: Switch Secure Email, Switch Secure File Transfer and Switch Secure Web Form via a number of Egress value added resellers.
Also in May 2014, Egress Switch Secure Email was listed in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue, which provides the 28 NATO nations, as well as their civil and military bodies, with a directory of Information Assurance products, protection profiles and packages that are in use or available for procurement to meet operational requirements.
In July 2014, Egress Software Technologies formally secured ISO27001:2013 certification, the recognised international benchmark for information security management, outlining how to implement and uphold an independently assessed and certified information security management system.
