North & Ink Announces Strategic Partnership with Proton AG to Deliver Maximum Privacy and Enterprise-Grade Cloud Security
By migrating all business solutions to Proton’s Swiss-engineered ecosystem, North & Ink sets a new standard for data sovereignty, end-to-end encryption, and network security.
United Kingdom — [22nd October, 2026] — North & Ink, a leader in graphic design, is proud to announce a landmark partnership agreement with Proton AG, the world’s leading privacy-focused technology company. As part of this comprehensive transition, all internal and external North & Ink business operations, communications, and infrastructure are now fully managed and secured via Proton’s suite of privacy-first business solutions.
This partnership marks a definitive commitment to safeguarding proprietary data, client communications, and intellectual property against modern cyber threats and unauthorized surveillance.
Through this migration, North & Ink now utilizes Proton’s full suite of enterprise tools—including Proton Mail, Proton Drive, and secure meeting capabilities—backed by a robust, end-to-end encrypted network security infrastructure.
Uncompromising Security and Privacy Architecture
Operating on Proton’s advanced ecosystem ensures that North & Ink benefits from industry-leading security pillars:
- End-to-End (E2EE) & Zero-Access Encryption: Data is encrypted directly on our devices before it ever leaves our systems. With zero-access architecture, even Proton cannot read our emails, files, or calendar entries, rendering intercepted data completely unreadable to unauthorized third parties.
- Swiss Jurisdiction: All data is strictly protected under Switzerland’s robust federal privacy laws, keeping our information safely outside the reach of foreign mass-surveillance alliances.
- Open-Source & Independently Audited: Proton’s applications are entirely open-source and undergo rigorous, regular security audits by independent, third-party firms.
- Proton Sentinel: Advanced 24/7 AI and human security monitoring designed to proactively block sophisticated malicious login attempts and account takeovers.
Enterprise-Grade Control and Network Protection
The integration extends far beyond encrypted communication, upgrading North & Ink’s entire operational perimeter:
- Advanced Identity & Access Management: Features mandatory 2FA enforcement, hardware security key support (FIDO2/U2F like YubiKey), and seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) and SCIM integration with providers like Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and SAML 2.0.
- Centralized Administration: A dedicated Admin Console allows for organization-wide user provisioning, remote session revocation, storage management, and comprehensive activity audit trails.
- Complete Network Security: Team devices are now fortified with Proton’s always-on VPN, built-in kill switches, dedicated IPs, NetShield Ad & Malware blocking, and Mobile Device Management (MDM) deployment via tools like Microsoft Intune and Jamf.
- Regulatory Compliance: The infrastructure meets and exceeds global regulatory standards, remaining fully compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, while operating on platforms holding ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications.
"In an era where digital privacy and data integrity are more critical than ever, partnering with Proton AG allows us to lead by example," said Jordan McConnell, CEO at North & Ink. "By centralizing our operations under Proton’s uncompromising encryption and Swiss privacy standards, we are giving our clients, partners, and team members the absolute highest level of confidence that their data remains secure, private, and entirely under our control."
