Deckhouse Stronghold and Pachca receive a compatibility certificate

Deckhouse and Primavera have confirmed that Deckhouse Stronghold and the Pachca team chat app are compatible and work together correctly.

Deckhouse Stronghold is a solution for centralized secrets lifecycle management. It protects passwords, API keys, certificates, SSH keys, tokens and other sensitive data from leaks and delivers secrets to applications securely. It's listed in the Unified Russian Software Registry (No. 22339) under the classes "Tools for protecting information from unauthorized access" and "Tools for managing access to information resources."

As part of the testing, the companies built an integration using BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), which lets organizations enjoy the benefits of the cloud version while keeping full control over their data. With this approach, data is encrypted and decrypted using keys that the customer controls.

Deckhouse Stronghold keys can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages, files and the search index in Pachca. Stronghold is deployed on the company's own servers, which ensures full transparency and auditability of every operation. The owner of a Pachca workspace can revoke or rotate the key at any time and immediately block data decryption.

"Deckhouse Stronghold is a centralized secrets protection solution that makes any integration secure. Together with Pachca, it lets you use a cloud team chat app while keeping full control over your encryption keys: they stay with the customer, and rotation and revocation take one click. Stronghold solves a critical data protection task without making teams' work more complicated," says Vladimir Devyataikin, Deckhouse Stronghold product manager at Flant.

The tests covered the core scenarios: deploying Deckhouse Stronghold, connecting Pachca, creating accounts, authorization, managing keys and directories, automatic unseal after a restart, web interface availability, navigating between sections, viewing data, configuration and event logging. All checks passed successfully.

"Hybrid on-premise (BYOK) is one of Pachca's key capabilities. Companies get the cloud team chat app they're used to plus full control over their data, because they manage the encryption keys. Rotation, revocation and auditing stay on the customer's side. Deckhouse Stronghold fits naturally into this setup as the key store, making data protection transparent and manageable," says Grigory Lyubachev, Chief Development Officer at Pachca.

The integration of Deckhouse Stronghold and Pachca lets Russian companies build a secure corporate communication environment on Russian solutions that meet the strict security requirements of finance, telecom, manufacturing and the public sector.
