Building a hardware-backed way to protect sensitive files and communications
Primi Digital Technology builds PrimiDS, a software platform for encrypted storage and secure communications that works with ToughKey, a physical hardware key. Recovery, permissions, and audit run as live systems.
One company. One platform. One physical key.
The names below describe how the company, software platform, and hardware key relate in public copy.
ToughBox may appear as supporting public vocabulary; it is not the primary header brand.
| Name | Role |
|---|---|
| Primi Digital Technology | The company developing the product system. |
| PrimiDS | The software platform for encrypted storage and secure communications. |
| Managed Enrolment | The preferred public name for the software. |
| ToughKey | The physical hardware key that holds the root cryptographic secret. |
Sensitive information deserves more than a recoverable credential
Primi holds the root cryptographic secret in a physical key rather than in a credential recoverable from a cloud service. That design reduces reliance on a recoverable credential and keeps the custody model explicit. It does not remove every risk: device loss, recovery, endpoints, and human processes still matter. The point is a clearer custody model for people deciding where a foundational secret is held. The physical key sits at the centre of that model. Compare custody approaches on how PrimiDS works.

Clear about what is in early access and what is verified
PrimiDS is in early access and in active development. The product architecture should be evaluated separately from independent certification: Primi is not currently FIPS 140-2/140-3 or Common Criteria certified. Patent details, legal entity information, leadership biographies, locations, and partner or customer evidence are published only when verified. Until those details are confirmed, this page stays focused on what the architecture does and what remains unverified.
