They enhance the companies' competitive edge in the global market, providing a solid foundation for their continued growth and success in the identity management and data handling sectors.

They are a key pillar in the participation of OeSD and youniqx Identity AG in international tenders around the world. The protection of information and personal data is a top priority for both companies, and these certifications are a testament to their commitment to this principle.
