GaraTrust Provides Secure, Proxied Access To Private Keys Stored In HashiCorp Vault

Garantir and HashiCorp Partnership  Strengthens Enterprise Key Security and Performance

Garantir is pleased to introduce a new technology partnership with HashiCorp, a leader in multi-cloud infrastructure automation. This collaboration delivers a seamless integration between GaraTrust, Garantir’s high-performance digital signature and cryptographic platform, and HashiCorp Vault, a widely adopted solution for managing and securing secrets across cloud and on-prem environments.

Together, the two platforms give organizations a secure, centralized, and efficient way to manage private keys and run cryptographic operations—without compromising security or speed.

Secure Cryptographic Operations Without Exposing Private Keys

GaraTrust is an enterprise platform for running secure and highly performant cryptographic operations. By restricting end-user clients to proxied access to private key material, GaraTrust ensures that the private keys remain secured in HashiCorp Vault or hardware security modules at all times. Additionally, GaraTrust provides end-users with faster access to private key material with a client-side hashing architecture.
 

How GaraTrust Enhances Vault’s Security Model

 
HashiCorp Vault centralizes secrets from multiple clouds and data centers, offering policy-driven access control and detailed audit logs.

GaraTrust complements this by:

  • Serving as a cryptographic token (or “key container”) via Vault’s Transit Engine

  • Enabling secure use of private keys across standard enterprise tools

  • Improving performance with client-side hashing

  • Ensuring private keys never leave Vault, regardless of workflow

This combination creates a streamlined, secure, and compliant signing environment across diverse applications and infrastructures..
 

Broad Client Integration Across Enterprise Environments

 
Garantir’s GaraTrust and HashiCorp Vault complement each other remarkably well.
 

GaraTrust offers a wide range of native client integrations, including:

  • Apple

  • Microsoft

  • Java

  • GPG

  • OpenSSL

  • And other enterprise signing frameworks

This compatibility ensures that teams can continue using the software and systems they rely on today, while Vault safely manages private keys behind the scenes.

For enterprises with distributed teams, hybrid infrastructures, or multi-cloud footprints, this integration provides unified access to keys—without sacrificing control or visibility.

At the same time, HashiCorp Vault centralizes and safeguards secrets and private keys from multiple clouds and data centers. This allows customers to manage all secrets and sensitive data in one centralized location, providing an extremely robust level of security and making it easy for end users to gain access to private keys they need (and only the keys they need).
 

Solving the Long-Standing Challenge of Security vs. Performance

Historically, organizations have had to choose between strong key protection and fast signing performance.


According to Kieran Miller, Chief Architect at Garantir:

“With GaraTrust, customers get the best of both worlds. The platform keeps cryptographic keys securely stored in Vault while dramatically speeding up signing operations.”

 

Asvin Ramesh, Director of Technology Partners at HashiCorp, adds:

“As businesses increasingly operate across multiple clouds, centralizing secrets becomes essential. Vault provides a unified way to manage access while extending the capabilities of GaraTrust across diverse environments.”

 

What This Means for Enterprises

With this integration, organizations gain:

Centralized Secret and Key Management

Manage and protect keys across any cloud or data center through HashiCorp Vault’s proven security model.

High-Performance Signing and Cryptographic Operations

GaraTrust’s architecture accelerates operations without weakening security controls.

Consistent, Auditable Access

Every request for private key material is logged, controlled, and enforced through Vault’s policies.

Seamless Adoption Across Existing Tooling

Native integrations enable teams to continue using their current applications and workflows.
