Security Built by People
Who Take Privacy Seriously
Founded in Helsinki in 2017 by a team of cybersecurity engineers frustrated with cloud-dependent document tools. We built the solution we wished existed.
Our Mission
At pdfprotect.app, we believe security should never come at the cost of usability. Our mission is to give organizations a document security tool that is intuitive, efficient, and respects the absolute privacy of their data.
We watched organizations upload sensitive contracts to cloud converters, unknowingly exposing confidential data to third-party servers. We knew there was a better way — offline, local, and under your control.

From a small Helsinki startup to protecting millions of documents globally.
Company Founded
A team of cybersecurity engineers launched pdfprotect.app in Helsinki after identifying a critical gap in offline-first document security tools for enterprise use.
First Government Contract
Secured our first major government contract, validating our offline-first security model and establishing trust with regulated industries.
500+ Enterprise Clients
Expanded the platform to include granular permission controls and audit trail logging, growing to over 500 enterprise clients across 30 countries.
Secure External Sharing
Launched the Secure External Sharing protocol, enabling organizations to safely distribute protected documents to external partners and clients.
10 Million Documents Protected
Today, pdfprotect.app protects over 10 million documents annually for clients in legal, healthcare, finance, and government sectors worldwide.
What We Stand For
Every product decision we make is guided by these four principles.
Privacy First
Your documents never leave your device. We have no access to your data — by design. Zero telemetry, zero cloud processing, zero compromise.
Zero Trust Architecture
We assume breach. Every component is designed so that no single point of failure can expose your data — not even our own servers.
Open Standards
We build on transparent, auditable cryptographic standards. Security through obscurity is not security at all.
Built for Business
Enterprise workflows demand reliability and compliance. We design for legal, healthcare, and financial teams — not just technical users.
