What We Do
Prisidio is revolutionizing how people collect, protect, and share their most important information. We've built a secure digital vault platform that helps individuals and families organize everything vital in their lives—from documents and contacts to assets and passwords—all accessible from anywhere, on any device.
The problem we solve is universal: in our digital age, critical information is scattered across email, filing cabinets, password managers, and cloud drives. When life's urgent moments arrive—a medical emergency, estate settlement, or natural disaster—people struggle to find and share what they need. Prisidio changes that by providing one secure, intuitive platform where everything important lives together.
Our platform goes beyond simple document storage. Users can organize their "Things" (possessions of financial and sentimental value), "Places" (where important items are kept, both physical and digital), "People" (trusted contacts), and "Documents" (sensitive files). They can then securely share specific information with designated trusted users, maintaining complete control over who sees what and when.
Security and privacy are foundational to everything we build. We're SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and aligned with CISA cybersecurity standards. Our engineering team has implemented bank-level encryption, real-time access monitoring, and granular permission controls that give users complete transparency and control.
Founded by tech entrepreneur Glenn Shimkus, who previously built and sold Cartavi to DocuSign, Prisidio is backed by leading investors including AARP, Chicago Ventures, DeepWork Capital, OCA Ventures, Origin Ventures, and Gula Tech Adventures. We've partnered with AARP to help millions navigate life's transitions with confidence, and we're featured regularly in outlets like USA Today.
