# VTRUST

VTRUST GmbH is a tech startup based in the Frankfurt am Main area that was founded in mid-2018 by engineers and security/privacy experts with the goal of creating a smart and secure world for everyone. VTRUST focuses on smart technology while taking a holistic approach to IT security and data protection. VTRUST has since become a technology partner for companies-whether for specific modular projects or end-to-end responsibility. VTRUST covers the entire product development process: from design and mechanics to hardware and software, networking, and IoT; from analysis and reverse engineering through proof of concept and prototyping to a market-ready product, in both the industrial and consumer sectors.
