Through the partnership, both parties aim to meet the increasing demand for SSL and other digital certificates requirements in the region through a range of dedicated enterprise solutions.
With over 55 percent growth in the SSL market during the last year (source:

GlobalSign has been working with TRUSTZONE for several years to encourage best practices for website security throughout this territory, issuing over 11,000 SSL Certificates through TRUSTZONE, resulting in a significant acceleration in market growth of over 100 percent (source:

The two organisations have joined forces to better serve the enterprise market in particular and are introducing GlobalSign’s leading Managed SSL and Enterprise PKI (ePKI) solutions to TRUSTZONE’s customer base, enabling advanced on-demand management of a range of digital certificates. The scalability of both solutions gives large enterprises the ability to streamline workflows, whilst reducing the cost and time resources typically associated with digital certificate management and PKI deployments.
“As one of the largest and most successful suppliers of SSL Certificates in the Scandinavian region, TRUSTZONE is proud to have been given the opportunity to offer GlobalSign’s SaaS-based Managed SSL to all Scandinavian enterprises,” said Jacob Hřjmark Nielsen, Managing Director of TRUSTZONE A/S. “Existing as well as new customers of TRUSTZONE will now be able to instantly issue Extended Validation, Organisation Validated and email certificates, as domain names and organisational information is registered and pre-vetted only once a year. This was the solution that our partners, customers and the entire enterprise market in Scandinavia have been wishing for, so we’re extremely pleased that we’re now given the opportunity to approach the Scandinavian enterprise market with such a powerful tool.”
