About Smallstep
Smallstep helps enterprises establish hardware-bound device identity across every access point in a modern cloud-native environment. Founded in 2016 and based in San Francisco, the company offers a device identity and certificate management platform that supports multi-OS environments, issue short-lived certificates, automate lifecycle management, and enforce Zero-Trust across devices, workloads, and people. Smallstep co-developed the industry-standard ACME Device Attestation (ACME DA) protocol in collaboration with Google, enabling hardware-based attestation and key-binding that prevents credential exfiltration and impersonation. Trusted by Fortune 100 enterprises and backed by investors such as Accel, StepStone, Boldstart, and Bain Capital Ventures, Smallstep is building the production identity infrastructure for the next wave of secure scale.
