Redtrust, a company specializing in digital certification management, has grown 150% since it began operations in Brazil. The company develops solutions for online document control and digital certificate management for the legal and accounting areas in order to offer advanced solutions to meet the demands of the sectors.
Also according to data shared by the company, an increase of up to 75% in the use of digital certificates by customers was observed. Since 2019, the company has been part of Keyfactor, a multinational provider of crypto-agility and cloud PKI solutions. In 2021, PrimeKey, creator of EJBCA, a leading Certificate Authority software, joined the group.
José Luiz Vendramini, Redtrust Sales Representative in Latin America, highlights that the centralization of digital certificates improves storage, control and security in law, legal and accounting offices, strengthening the protection of digital identity and the secure custody of certificates.
“With digitization, digital certificates have become essential for companies, improving document signing and authentication, streamlining communications and increasing productivity”, he points out. “However, many companies still operate in a decentralized way, which causes economic, time and security problems,” he says.
It is at this point that, in Vendramini’s view, law firms, legal areas and accounting departments need to be at the technological forefront: “The shared use of certificates among many employees, without any type of control, exposes companies to a series of risks.”
According to the Redtrust Sales Representative in Latin America, among the main risks are unauthorized access to sensitive information, violation of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and compliance standards, in addition to data leakage.
Therefore, for Vendramini, the management of digital certificates is a critical component for the security and efficiency of accounting processes.
“Redtrust seeks to offer the market a solution to facilitate management and ensure that operations are carried out safely and in accordance with established standards”, he explains. “The solutions aim to make it possible to know who is accessing, when and what they used digital certificates for, with 360 management”, he adds.
According to Vendramini, the features of the Redtrust solution include certificate filtering and selection, centralized custody, automated monitoring and integration and remote access, as well as auditing and compliance.
Brazil approaches the estimate of 10,443,021 active certificates
With 8,794,121 certificates issued, Brazil is almost reaching the projection for 2024, which is 10,443,021, according to information from the National Institute of Information Technology (IN).
“Brazil, with its rapid advancement in the digitalization of business, faces increasing challenges in relation to digital security and has regulations very similar to Spain, which also facilitated our entry into the country”, notes Vendramini.
For him, the growing demand for digital security solutions, considering the migration of government services to electronic media, the increase in online transactions and the consolidation of digital transformation in the consumption and daily lives of people and businesses are the main indicators for this increase.
According to data from the Sector Report 2023 ICT Macro-SectorBrazil is the 10th largest in ICT and Telecom production in the world and the only country in Latin America in the Top 10. The survey also reveals that the Brazilian ICT sector represents 30.0% of the ICT market in Latin America and has recorded growth of 8.5% in 2023.
To conclude, Vendramini draws attention to the importance of issuing digital certificates for companies today, considering the technological evolution of all market sectors: “It is estimated that global investment to achieve digital transformation will be 15% greater in the next three years, and digital identity is expected to be one of the areas impacted by this investment”, he states.

**Interview with José Luiz Vendramini, Sales Representative at Redtrust Latin America**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, José. Recently, there has been a significant shift in the trustworthiness of digital certificates, particularly with the discontinuation of trust for Entrust certificates by DigiCert. How do you see this impacting the digital certification landscape in Brazil?
**José Luiz Vendramini:** Thank you for having me. The decision to revoke trust in Entrust certificates could have a rippling effect across various industries. It emphasizes the need for companies to reassess their digital certificate management strategies. Many organizations have become over-reliant on single providers, and this incident serves as a wake-up call to diversify their digital security measures.
**Interviewer:** That’s an interesting point. Given this context, how has Redtrust managed to grow 150% in Brazil amidst these challenges?
**José Luiz Vendramini:** Our focus has been on providing comprehensive solutions for digital certificate management that meet the specific needs of legal and accounting sectors. By centralizing certificate storage and management, we not only enhance security but also streamline compliance with regulations like the LGPD. This is critical, especially as we see a 75% increase in certificate usage among our clients.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned the risks associated with decentralized management of digital certificates. Can you elaborate on those?
**José Luiz Vendramini:** Certainly. A decentralized approach increases the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information and can lead to data breaches. It also poses challenges in compliance with standards and regulations, which can result in significant penalties for businesses. Our solution is designed to prevent these vulnerabilities by ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to digital certificates and by keeping detailed logs of usage.
**Interviewer:** Very insightful. With Brazil approaching over 10 million active certificates, what steps should businesses take to secure their digital identities?
**José Luiz Vendramini:** Businesses need to prioritize robust management strategies for their digital certificates. This includes adopting centralized systems that allow for better tracking and control, automating monitoring, and ensuring compliance through regular audits. Apps that facilitate remote access while maintaining security are also becoming essential as we move toward more flexible work environments.
**Interviewer:** how does Redtrust differentiate itself from other solutions on the market?
**José Luiz Vendramini:** Our unique approach combines ease of use with comprehensive management features. We offer centralized custody, automated monitoring, and full auditing capabilities, which empower organizations to have better visibility and control over their digital certificates. Our goal is not just to protect data but to foster confidence in digital interactions across all sectors.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, José. Your insights are invaluable, especially as companies navigate these changing digital landscapes.
**José Luiz Vendramini:** Thank you for having me! It’s crucial for businesses to stay informed and proactive about their digital security strategies.
