Tenzing is a secure, cloud-based data vault for protecting, storing, updating and conveniently accessing important personal information. Financial records, user names and passwords, estate plans, memberships, photos and other important personal documents can all be safely archived. Tenzing provides immediate online access to valuable information while protecting users from unauthorized access to that personal data. This unique information storage platform firmly bonds Everest's concierge-level service and best-in-class security to protect valuable information.

Tenzing ensures confidentiality and integrity of digital information through the use of multiple layers of data encryption technologies, enhanced user authentication and industry-recognized best practices. Tenzing provides this enhanced level of security, keeping information safe and accessible 24/7/365.

"We developed Tenzing based on the escalating need by individuals to keep their personal data secure," said Mark Duffey, president and CEO of Everest. "Who hasn't forgotten a password or where they "hid" information that is critical to their daily lives or their family's future? This new tool was created to provide secure storage for that information. Writing something down on a sticky note doesn't cut it in today's cyber-sensitive world."

Named after Tenzing Norgay, one of the first two men to reach the summit of Mount Everest, Tenzing achieved worldwide fame for his attentive approach to climbing dangerous peaks and expertly guiding climbers to the summit of the world's tallest mountain.
