To-Spec Hosting

We build our HSM hosting to your security specifications, provide a complete audit of our data centers.

No Hardware to Deploy

HSM's are necessary method for certifying against FIPS 140-2 Level 3, yet deploying hardware in a virtualized and cloud infrastructure is prohibitive. Cloud-based HSM's integrate seamlessly with no hardware to deploy.

HSM Integration by Experts

Integrating HSM's into your applications can be the most difficult part. Our certified engineers have been through HSM integrations and will take care of the heavy lifting.

Designed to Meet Your Security Standards

Unlike vendor cloud-HSM services which are operated in a black box, you have full control over the security posture of your HSM infrastructure. We offer single-tenant, segmented hardware cages, and monitoring alerts sent right to your inbox.

"Of the countless things on my team's plate, managing encryption infrastructure isn't a priority for us. It's pure overhead, especially since it only touches a small portion of our overall environment. But we still need it done right for compliance.

I'm happy to let Sidechain handle all of that so my engineers can focus on projects that actually move our business forward. They know encryption better than we ever will, and frankly, we don't want to become experts in something that's not our core competency."
