HiCrypt is a network drive encryption software for Windows environments developed by digitronic. It encrypts data stored on network drives and UNC-integrated folders, ensuring that only authorized users with the corresponding decryption key can access confidential files. Key characteristics: - Encryption and decryption occur transparently on the client PC, meaning data in transit to and at the storage location is always encrypted - Uses standardized, recognized encryption algorithms - Operates invisibly in the background within the familiar Windows Explorer interface, requiring no additional user training - Supports simultaneous multi-user access to encrypted network drives, unlike container-based encryption solutions Access management: - Includes an integrated user management system that grants or revokes access independently of local or domain user accounts - Enforces a "key sole possession" guarantee — only the customer controls encryption keys, with no backdoors for the vendor or administrators - Enables separation of duties between IT administrators and data owners Compliance and use cases: - Designed to meet BSI standards, ISO 27001, TISAX, NIS-2, DSGVO (GDPR), and the German Whistleblower Protection Act - Targeted at SMEs, industrial enterprises, healthcare organizations, public authorities, and critical infrastructure (KRITIS) operators Additional capabilities: - Supports cloud storage encryption (e.g., Dropbox, Google) - Compatible with Terminal Server and Desktop as a Service (DaaS) environments - Includes disaster recovery / emergency restoration options - Available as part of an all-in-one compliance package bundled with the SmartLogon 2FA solution
