✦ For ISVs & Software Vendors
Desktop & App Encryption

Ship your Windows app compliant from day one.

Your customers' compliance requirements are now your compliance requirements. Every ISV shipping a Windows application that stores customer data — healthcare systems, financial tools, point-of-sale, specialty vertical apps — eventually hits the same wall: a prospect won't buy unless the product encrypts data at rest. Encryptionizer embeds in your product, ships with every install, and gives you a defensible answer to every compliance question without rewriting your application.

The ISV Problem

Compliance pressure doesn't stop at your customer's door.

Your customers face HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2 audits — and increasingly, their auditors want proof that your product encrypts their data at rest. That request lands on your product team. The deals waiting on an encryption answer land on your sales team. Suddenly, encryption isn't a feature on the roadmap — it's a quarter-of-revenue question.

Build vs. License

Writing your own crypto is a trap. Here's why.

When the encryption requirement hits, every engineering team's first instinct is to scope the build internally. That path looks shorter from the outside than it is from the inside. Compare honestly.

Build encryption into your product

  • Realistic timeline: 9–18 months, including validation and hardening
  • FIPS 140-2 validation is a separate project — months of lab work
  • Ongoing cryptographic maintenance: algorithm updates, CVE patches, cipher migrations
  • No track record with your customers' auditors — every deal becomes an argument
  • Implementation risk is unforgiving — small mistakes become CVEs
  • Diverts your best engineers from the product customers actually buy
  • Key management is a second project you haven't scoped yet

Embed Encryptionizer

  • Weeks to integrate and ship, not months
  • FIPS 140-2 validated out of the box — no lab work required
  • Cryptographic maintenance is NetLib's job, not yours
  • Four decades of deployments auditors already recognize
  • Battle-tested at scale across regulated verticals
  • Your engineering team stays focused on your product
  • Pairs with Encryption Key Manager (EKM) for enterprise customers
What You Get

Encryption that ships with your product.

Encryptionizer for Desktop & App is built around a single idea: your product should ship encryption-ready without your team becoming cryptographers.

🧩

Transparent to your application

Encryptionizer sits below your app at the file-system layer. Your code reads and writes data exactly the way it always has. Encryption happens underneath, with no API calls or schema changes in your product.

🗄️

Works with every major desktop database

SQL Express, LocalDB, Microsoft Access, SQLite, Visual FoxPro, and flat-file formats. If your product uses it on Windows, Encryptionizer can protect it.

📦

Ships with every install

Bundle Encryptionizer into your installer. Every customer deployment is encrypted automatically on day one — no customer configuration, no training, no support tickets about setup.

🛡️

FIPS 140-2 validated AES-256

The validation your customers' auditors are actually looking for. Already done. Already in the FIPS CMVP registry. Ready to cite in your security documentation.

🌐

Protects data wherever your app lands

Desktops. Laptops. Point-of-sale terminals. Kiosks. Field devices. Any Windows deployment of your product is covered with the same transparent encryption.

🔑

Enterprise key management option

For customers that require centralized key management, pair with Encryption Key Manager. Same deployment pattern, upgraded operational model — your enterprise prospects become closable.

✦ OEM-ready licensing

License it. Ship it. Your customers never see us.

Encryptionizer is designed to embed invisibly in your product. No NetLib branding your end users encounter. No support channels your customers call. You maintain the customer relationship — we're the engine that makes your compliance story real. Licensing is built for distribution: structures designed for ISVs with growing customer bases, not one-off enterprise deployments. One agreement covers your entire install base.

Who's Shipping With Encryptionizer

Vertical ISVs where encryption is the deal.

The common thread across these verticals: end customers face strict compliance requirements, and the software vendors that serve them have to deliver encryption as part of the product — not as a configuration project.

🏥

Healthcare software

Practice management, EHR, dental, specialty clinical systems — HIPAA encryption-at-rest is table stakes to close a deal.

💳

Financial services ISVs

Lending platforms, trading tools, compliance software — PCI DSS, SOX, and state financial regulations all point back to encryption.

⚖️

Legal technology

Case management, document stores, contract tools — client confidentiality obligations push firms toward vendors with provable encryption.

🛒

Retail & POS

Point-of-sale, inventory, loyalty systems — PCI DSS compliance flows from the acquiring bank through to every piece of software touching card data.

🏛️

Government contractors

Vendors building for state, local, and federal agencies — FIPS 140-2 validation is a procurement gate, not a nice-to-have.

🔧

Vertical-market apps

Specialty tools for industries nobody else builds for — where you're the only vendor, you're also the only one responsible for the encryption story.

ISV Scenarios

Where Encryptionizer pays for itself.

Four moments every software vendor eventually faces — and how embedded encryption changes the outcome.

💼

Prospect requires encryption-at-rest

A six-figure deal hinges on your product encrypting data at rest. Without a built-in answer: the deal stalls while you scope engineering work. Months of uncertainty, maybe a lost deal.

With Encryptionizer: Yes, we encrypt. FIPS 140-2 validated. Here's our documentation. Deal moves forward.
📋

Customer audit flows back to you

A customer's auditor sends you a vendor security questionnaire asking about encryption, key management, and FIPS validation. Without clear answers: you're inventing responses and inviting follow-up questions.

With Encryptionizer: Reference documentation ready. FIPS CMVP entry number ready. Response takes an hour, not a week.
🏥

Expanding into a regulated vertical

Your product has traction in SMB; the next step is healthcare, finance, or government. Without encryption built in: you're not qualified to compete in those markets.

With Encryptionizer: One integration opens the regulated verticals as addressable markets.
⚠️

A customer gets breached

A customer running your software suffers a breach of the device. Without encryption: your product is named in the incident report. Reputation hit flows back to you.

With Encryptionizer: Your product encrypted the data. The incident is about the device, not your software.
Compliance Coverage

The frameworks your customers are measured against.

Encryptionizer delivers encryption-at-rest coverage for every major framework your customers face — and the FIPS validation that satisfies government and healthcare procurement gates.

"We had three deals waiting on an encryption answer. Building it ourselves would've taken a year. We integrated Encryptionizer in a sprint and closed all three before quarter-end."
