ZURICH, April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

DSwiss, founders of SecureSafe, the leading online data safe service, announces today the acquisition of US-based digital estate planning service Entrustet. The acquisition will strengthen DSwiss' footprint within the US market and provide them with additional end users.
