X‑Road Security Server as a Service
Secure and reliable access to Estonia’s X‑Road — without the operational burden
X‑Road is Estonia’s national data exchange layer that enables secure, standardised data sharing between organisations and public sector information systems. It is a cornerstone of the Estonian digital society, ensuring that data moves safely, traceably and only between authorised parties.
With OIXIO’s X‑Road Security Server as a Service, you can use X‑Road as a data service consumer without having to install, manage or maintain the security server yourself.
What is X‑Road?
X‑Road is a secure data exchange platform that allows organisations to connect their information systems with public and private sector data services.
It is not a central database, but a distributed integration layer where each data request is:
- encrypted
- digitally signed
- logged and auditable
X‑Road is widely used to access services from institutions such as the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, Health Insurance Fund, and other national registries, enabling automation and efficient digital services.
X‑Road Security Server as a Cloud Service
OIXIO provides the X‑Road Security Server as a fully managed cloud service, aligned with the usage model described by the Estonian Information System Authority (RIA) as a Hosted Security Server.
This service is designed for organisations that want to consume X‑Road data services without investing in their own infrastructure or internal maintenance capabilities.
Note: This service is intended for data service consumers only. A security server solution for data service providers is not included.
What OIXIO takes care of
When using OIXIO’s X‑Road Security Server service, we handle the full operational responsibility, this allows your team to focus on business processes and integrations, not infrastructure.
We take care of:
- X‑Road Security Server management and administration (also client certificates and subsystems)
- Server availability and reliability
- Installation of X‑Road software updates and security patches
- Continuous monitoring of server load
