Your infrastructure is hybrid. Your authentication should handle all of it, not just the easy parts.
Pointsharp delivers MFA, certificate-based authentication, PKI management, and identity governance across cloud, on-premises, and legacy systems with one unified platform developed entirely in Europe.
Most organisations have an authentication problem they have not fully mapped yet.
Years of growth leave organisations with a mix of cloud services, on-premises systems, and legacy applications that were never designed to work together. Every system has its own login. Every department has its own process. The result is fragmented identity management, inconsistent security, and users finding workarounds that create risk.
Legacy systems that cloud solutions cannot reach
Most modern MFA and SSO tools are built for cloud-native environments. If you run Exchange on-premises, older line-of-business applications, or mixed VDI environments, you are left with gaps that cloud-only vendors simply cannot fill.
Different login experiences for different systems
When users have separate credentials for different applications, they reuse passwords, write them down, or get locked out. Every workaround is a security gap. Unifying authentication across every application is harder than it sounds.
Certificate management that has become unmanageable
Certificate-based authentication offers the highest levels of security. But managing certificates, smart cards, and security keys across hundreds or thousands of users requires specialist tools that most IT teams do not have.
Pointsharp is built for organisations that cannot simply move everything to the cloud. If your infrastructure is hybrid, your authentication strategy needs to be too. Pointsharp handles on-premises, cloud, and legacy applications under a single unified platform without requiring you to rip out what you already have.
Three solution areas, one integrated platform.
Pointsharp covers the full identity and access lifecycle. Each solution area can be deployed independently or together, giving organisations the flexibility to start where the need is greatest and expand over time.
PKI Management
Complete lifecycle management for certificates, smart cards, and security keys at enterprise scale, on-premises or as a managed service.
Access Management
Unified MFA and SSO across every application in your organisation, from modern SaaS tools to on-premises legacy systems.
Identity Governance
Full control over identity lifecycles, access rights, and governance across your organisation including SAP environments.
Mix and match to fit every role in your organisation.
Not every user has the same needs. Pointsharp lets you deploy different authentication methods for different teams, combining them under one management interface. Your R and D team can use certificate-based keys, your field staff can use the mobile app, and users without smartphones can use OTP tokens. All managed centrally.
Built for the infrastructure you actually have.
MFA for legacy and on-premises applications
Pointsharp can enable MFA and SSO for applications that have no native support for modern authentication, including older line-of-business systems, on-premises Exchange, and VDI environments. If your cloud vendor says it cannot be done, Pointsharp likely can.
Own Identity Provider
Pointsharp includes its own IdP, giving organisations a single sign-on solution that covers all applications without depending on a third-party identity provider. Users get one login experience across everything, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
Certificate lifecycle management
Certificates expire. Keys get lost. Users need new tokens. Pointsharp's PKI Management handles the full lifecycle from enrolment through renewal and revocation, with self-service options that reduce the burden on IT teams without reducing security.
Tap and go authentication
Users can unlock their digital workspace with a single tap of a security key or smart card. No inserting, no PIN entry for every session. The experience is fast enough that users actually adopt it, which is the point.
Governance for AI agents
As AI agents access systems and act on behalf of users, identity governance needs to cover them too. Pointsharp applies the same least-privilege and audit principles to AI agent access as it does to human users.
Secure information exchange
Pointsharp's Cryptshare integration enables secure file sharing and encrypted email communication. Large files, sensitive documents, and regulated data can be shared securely inside and outside the organisation without consumer tools.
Pointsharp fits organisations where standard cloud-only solutions fall short.
Government and public sector
Public sector organisations often run sensitive systems on-premises for data sovereignty reasons. Pointsharp is developed in Europe, supports air-gapped deployments, and carries the certifications that government procurement requires.
Financial services
Banks and financial institutions need certificate-based strong authentication, full audit trails, and the ability to meet NCA, SAMA, and NESA requirements. Pointsharp's PKI and governance capabilities are built for this environment.
Healthcare
Clinical environments with mixed device fleets, shared workstations, and strict data access requirements need authentication that is both secure and fast enough for clinical workflows. Pointsharp's tap and go and card-based options address this directly.
Organisations with significant on-premises infrastructure
If you have invested in on-premises systems and are not ready or willing to move everything to the cloud, Pointsharp meets you where you are. Hybrid environments are the default, not an afterthought.
Deploy the way that fits your organisation.
Pointsharp does not require you to move to the cloud to get enterprise-grade authentication. All solutions support on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployment so you maintain control over where your identity data lives.
On-premises
Full control over your data and infrastructure. No cloud dependencies. Suitable for regulated environments and data sovereignty requirements.
Cloud service
PKI-as-a-service and hosted options available. Get up and running in days without building your own infrastructure.
Hybrid
Mix on-premises and cloud components to match your existing setup. The most common deployment for organisations with a mix of legacy and modern systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pointsharp provides multi-factor authentication and identity management for on-premises and hybrid infrastructure, working with Exchange, Citrix, AWS and other enterprise systems. Its portfolio spans MFA, certificate-based authentication, PKI middleware and secure file transfer.
Pointsharp offers Pointsharp MFA for self-hosted multi-factor authentication; Pointsharp Enterprise, which adds an authentication gateway, single sign-on and password reset; Net iD Portal for token and certificate lifecycle management; Net iD Access for mobile certificate-based authentication; Net iD Client as PKI middleware; and Cryptshare for secure file sharing.
Net iD Portal is Pointsharp's lifecycle management tool for tokens, certificates and credentials, supporting custom workflows, end-user self-service and decentralised administration. Certificate issuance and renewal are the operational burden in any PKI deployment, and this is the layer that absorbs it.
Pointsharp Secure Cloud, also called Net iD, delivers Pointsharp's certificate-based security as a cloud service rather than infrastructure an organisation builds itself. It removes the upfront cost and complexity of standing up a PKI while retaining certificate-based authentication.
Cryptshare is Pointsharp's secure file sharing and email security product, providing encrypted exchange of sensitive files with Outlook integration. It addresses the gap where email — a protocol never designed for confidentiality — is used to move regulated data.
The Kernel distributes Pointsharp across the UAE, Middle East, Africa and CIS through its channel partner network, and has been named Pointsharp Distributor of the Year. Support covers certificate policy design, deployment and integration with existing infrastructure.
