Les Assises de la Sécurité, Monaco and Paris, France – October 8, 2024 – Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security today announces PQC HSMaaS, its EU sovereign, post-quantum cryptography Hardware Security Module (HSM) as a Service, powered by the Eviden HSM Trustway Proteccio™ brand.

This secure, cloud-independent solution is the only HSM available on the market today which is based on ANSSI's (Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d'Information1) Highest Security Qualification (“reinforced qualification”), thereby providing businesses with the highest level of security possible.

In addition to being based upon one of the most certified HSM on the market, Eviden’s PQC HSMaaS supports Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms, providing encryption that is future-proof against the advances of quantum computing.

As a fully EU sovereign solution, Eviden’s PQC HSMaaS is hosted in resilient, sovereign data centers in France and managed by French teams, ensuring full control over sensitive data. This minimizes dependence on public cloud providers, reinforcing both data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, Eviden’s PQC HSMaaS helps businesses meet the stringent requirements of the NIS22 Directive, securing sensitive data with robust encryption practices that guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Antoine Schweitzer-Chaput, Head of Trustway Business Unit, Eviden, Atos Group said: “This solution not only empowers companies to protect against emerging threats such as quantum computing through Post-Quantum Cryptography support, but it also established us as a strategic partner in helping organizations meet the stringent requirements of the NIS2 Directive. We take pride in offering an HSMaaS that blends the highest levels of security with the flexibility and control businesses need in today’s evolving landscape.”
