The Pop in My Job

To understand the challenge of our customer and inspire with relevant innovations.

XignSys GmbH is one of the "most innovative cyber security startups in Germany" (Forbes 06/2020). With around 30 employees at its headquarters right in the creative quarter of Gelsenkirchen, a city in the Ruhr region, it is working towards its goal of developing passwordless authentication into the new standard for personal identification and replacing logins with usernames and passwords, one-time TANs or costly hardware such as tokens or key cards. This will bring personal authentication into the digital age and create a new, uniform and future-proof basis for all digital transactions - for providers and users alike. Based on our smartphone-based and passwordless authentication software, which is the only solution on the market that can be used flexibly in any type of transaction, we are creating a paradigm shift in digital authentication. We combine high security standards with maximum user-friendliness and absolute flexibility - all based on German technology and taking into account all European security and data protection standards. In the comprehensive field of smart city applications, our solution offers a key technology that can be integrated at short notice, by means of which the most diverse segments, such as education, environment, mobility, etc., can be initiated holistically. Other fields of application for our software include eGovernment, New Work, IoT platforms, cloud solutions and eHealth. Our solutions are currently used for mobile, digital identities, for example, by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the cities of Gelsenkirchen and Aachen, Volkswagen AG, and the Duisburg public utility company.
