Design, develop, and deploy secure digital public services
As an architect and developer of digital public services, Swiss Authentis supports governments, public administrations, and public agencies in implementing secure, scalable, and sovereign software platforms. Our approach is based on a comprehensive and integrated DevOps software factory, designed to accelerate development, ensure reliable deployments, and guarantee operational control over critical digital systems. We combine modern architectures, open-source technologies, CI/CD automation, containerization, Kubernetes, and micro-services to deliver robust, maintainable solutions tailored to the institutional constraints of each country.
A DevOps and CI/CD Approach
In an environment where needs are changing rapidly, the ability to deliver reliable, secure, and continuously improved digital services is essential. Swiss Authentis relies on a CI/CD approach—Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment—that automates the key stages of the software development cycle: building, testing, validation, integration, deployment, and monitoring.
This approach promotes shorter development cycles, reduces the risks associated with production deployment, and enables continuous improvement of the deployed platforms.
It also allows government agencies to benefit from more agile solutions that can evolve gradually in response to business needs, regulatory requirements, and feedback from real-world use.
Containerized and modular solutions
Our platforms are designed using a containerization approach to facilitate their portability, deployment, and operation across different technical environments.
This approach allows for the standardization of software components, improves the reproducibility of environments, and simplifies maintenance, updates, and scaling.
It also helps reduce dependence on a single infrastructure by giving governments greater flexibility in their hosting and operational choices.
Kubernetes for Elastic Architectures
The digital public services developed by Swiss Authentis can be built on elastic Kubernetes architectures capable of orchestrating containerized applications, automatically managing their availability, and facilitating their scalability.
Kubernetes enables the design of systems that are more resilient, more flexible, and better adapted to fluctuations in usage, whether they are administrative portals, identity platforms, e-visa systems, digital registries, or monitoring solutions.
This architecture promotes service continuity, operational robustness, and the ability to scale platforms over time.
AWS Cloud or On-Premises
Depending on requirements related to sovereignty, security, performance, or regulations, Swiss Authentis deploys its solutions on both cloud infrastructures—notably AWS—and on-premises environments.
This flexibility allows the technical architecture to be adapted to the specific constraints of each country or institution: data localization, control over the infrastructure, integration with existing systems, confidentiality requirements, or national digital sovereignty policies.
Our role is to propose the architecture best suited to the client’s context, while ensuring security, performance, scalability, and operational control.
A microservices architecture
Swiss Authentis favors a microservices approach to designing modular, scalable, and resilient systems.
Each functional component can be developed, tested, deployed, and maintained independently. This modularity facilitates the gradual evolution of platforms, integration with third-party systems, and adaptation to the specific needs of government agencies.
The microservices approach also enhances maintainability, reduces risks associated with functional changes, and supports complex architectures at the government level.
Open-Source Technologies and Digital Sovereignty
Our solutions are primarily based on open-source technologies, in order to promote transparency, flexibility, interoperability, and control over infrastructure.
Open source is a key driver of digital sovereignty: it enables institutions to reduce their dependence on closed, proprietary solutions, maintain greater visibility into the components they use, and strengthen their ability to operate, maintain, and evolve their systems over the long term.
This approach is part of our commitment to supporting governments in building sustainable digital ecosystems that are under their control and tailored to their national priorities.
A technical partner for Governments
Swiss Authentis does more than just provide technology. We serve as a technical partner to governments, from platform architecture through deployment, security, operation, and evolution. Our software development capabilities enable us to transform complex institutional needs into reliable, secure, and operational digital services. We help public sector entities modernize their information systems while maintaining control over their data, ensuring the security of their infrastructure, and preserving the autonomy of their digital ecosystems.
