Hello! We are Enlock.
Enlock is an emerging private technology startup based in 🇬🇧 London, UK. Enlock was founded and is solely funded by Alex Sadovskyi, the Founder and Director of Enlock.
Our product is a fully-encrypted online workspace, a suite of common online applications with a heavy focus on privacy and security. As of now, our roadmap includes applications such as Email, Calendar, File Storage (Drive), and Notes. At this time, we are still in the development stage.
Our Journey
With the rise of modern-day internet and online cloud services, people have started to forget about storing their digital belongings on their own physical volumes. Instead, people started uploading their files somewhere to the internet, the concept we now refer to as “the cloud”. As the user does not get to see how the data is managed and stored, cloud providers most often take that to their advantage and focus on the ease and cost-efficiency of their operation, not the security and integrity of information trusted to the cloud provider by the user. As these companies store copies in a freely accessible form on their corporate servers, we can never know what happens to the user data in the back. To make things worse, these companies have employees who are trusted with full access to their servers, and most of these companies are also known for participating in activities that can be described as a trade of user information, with some using user data to train AI models.
At Enlock, we believe that similar to the right to adequate housing, it is a fundamental right to have an equivalent private space on the internet where one can leave their data untouched. We believe that giving up ownership of information must not be a necessity for those who wish to store their data online.
Digital/intellectual property can be duplicated and transported elsewhere with no apparent evidence to the user, and to address this issue, we make use of encryption to create virtual boundaries for the data. Encryption makes it impossible for parties other than the end user to access, modify, and otherwise tamper with information, serving as the foundation of Enlock.
Believing that data encryption is a fundamental right, we were disappointed by the absence of end-to-end encryption in practically every online service. The counterparts that advertise themselves as end-to-end encrypted show a lack of seriousness and transparency on their technical side. These frustrations inspired us to create an alternative that would solve both issues — an alternative that would provide not just the highest level of encryption but also transparency about the cryptography used. Several other industry issues such as the lack of proper attention to quantum safety and the tendency to use over-engineered cryptographic toolchains without a complete understanding of their inner processes have contributed to the idea of creating modern-day Enlock.

- External user-targeted attacks (e.g., password theft) are not assumed and remain the user's responsibility. Security is limited by the strength of the cryptographic algorithms used. In certain cases such as receiving unencrypted emails, contents may be visible by Enlock at the time of reception. These events are always disclosed to the user in privacy/encryption reports along with information about the cryptographic algorithms used.
- Emails transmitted and received in plain text are seen by Enlock before they are saved in an encrypted form. These events are disclosed in privacy reports. By "our cryptography", we refer to our cryptographic architecture built around widely-used algorithms. Enlock does not create underlying cryptographic algorithms from scratch.
