DSwiss AG has launched DataInherit that provides security to data, with a digital inheritance feature. The company said that the DataInherit service provides confidential data storage in a security Swiss data center, that customers can access on-demand. Users can assign their data to multiple beneficiaries to safeguard the information against potential loss, in the event of disability or death.

DataInherit offers information such as bank account access details, passwords, contracts and wills, employment documents, intellectual property, business secrets, and medical data to be passed on to the appropriate person when required, said the company.

Tobias Christen, Director of Technology and Operations, DSwiss, said: “With ever more transactions taking place on the Internet there is an increased importance on protecting our digital data. Unfortunately, many private individuals and companies are no longer able to effectively protect themselves from the threat of Internet crime, user error or force majeure. There is also the added complication of how to pass on this information or arrange for the inheritance of personal data without third-party assistance. DataInherit provides an effective solution for the protection and preservation of our customers’ information assets.
