How to OriginVault - a brief summary for CTOs and engineers
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the real-world application, integration possibilities, security standards, and operational implications of an OriginVault integration.
What is OriginVault and its core components?
OriginVault is a react-based, white-label SaaS web application designed for audit-proof archiving and secure, audited data exchange. It offers a fully functional, professional, and scalable platform. OriginVault can either be used as a standalone product with its own authentication and billing logic or as a more deeply integrated add-on using existing identity providers and authentication services.
Target segments and use cases
Typical customers consist of three main groups: SaaS & Software providers, digitization / managed service providers, and regulated mid-sized and large enterprises (>100 employees).
| Customer Segment | Use Case | Strategic Advantage | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS & Software providers (ERP, Accounting, HR, LegalTech) | Upselling compliance to existing customers; automated document synchronization via backend integration or whitelabeled UI. | Enables immediate upselling to premium tiers with low internal development effort. | Seamless IDP integration; deep document synchronization workflows. |
| Digitization & Managed Service Providers (Scanning, IT System Houses) | Reselling OriginVault as a standalone solution and adding APIs to existing workflow engines. | Facilitates shift to a profitable license-based model; eliminates heavy internal development investment. | Extreme scalability; flexible meta-data management; AI assistant capabilities. |
| Regulated Enterprises & Mid-Market (Finance, Healthcare, Public Admin) | Deployment within the client's own environment (Private Cloud or On-Prem) for maximum data control. | Bridges the gap between internal control and external auditability; immutable audit trails. | "Compliance by Design"; replaces expensive proprietary hardware (HSMs) with agile software. |

Technical infrastructure & scalability
Hosting Options
OriginStamp offers high flexibility regarding hosting location and provider. The standard setup utilizes Google Firestore, Google Firebase, and Microservices deployed with Google Cloud Run. Data processing and storage take place exclusively in ISO 27001 certified data centers.
Scalability
OriginVault is designed to serve as a professional and scalable archive solution for hundreds of thousands of customers. It can be hosted in any virtualized environment.
Backend Integration
OriginVault can be used as a backend-only service, where central archiving functionalities are accessed strictly via API endpoints for integration into your own frontend applications.
APIs and Integration
OriginVault provides deep integration via RESTful-APIs using authorized service accounts for authentication.
SSO and Identity Providers
Standard support includes SSO via Google and Microsoft. Integration of proprietary Identity Providers is customizable as needed.
Security and Compliance
Certificates
OriginStamp is certified according to SOC 2.0 and ISO 27001. This underlines our commitment to security and highest quality standards.
Business continuity
Every document is protected with a Blockchain Integrity Certificate. To ensure Business Continuity, an ESCROW Agreement can be established, allowing customers to host and operate the source code independently if OriginStamp AG were to discontinue services.
How to Move Forward: The Business Case Blueprint
Before committing to a full implementation, OriginStamp offers a structured preliminary phase called the Business Case Blueprint. This 3–5 week process replaces months of internal debate with a "Decision-Ready Package" for your leadership and IT tailored to your individual circumstances. The collaboration follows a clear path to minimize risk and ensure a fast time-to-market.
