- Private & public CAs
- mTLS
- Certificate lifecycle automation
- HSMs & key management

What we build
The authentication, authorization, and cryptographic plumbing that regulated systems depend on. Designed, built, and hardened for production and audit.
Certificate authorities, issuance, and automated lifecycle for systems that can't afford an expired cert.
FIDO2, passkeys, and smart-card auth that retire the password without hurting the user experience.
Single sign-on and federation that works across your org, your partners, and your acquisitions.
Identity, credential, and access management aligned to how regulated and federal-adjacent programs are actually evaluated.
Service-to-service trust built on verifiable identity, not network position.
Encrypted, auditable data movement between systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
Why trust us with this
Our founders spent 20+ years on mission-critical systems at IKEA, Sony Mobile, Ericsson, and Handelsbanken. The identity depth isn't theoretical. It comes from hands-on PKI and certificate-management work at Sony Mobile and Ericsson, where a mistake in the crypto plumbing isn't a bug, it's an outage.
A production passwordless identity system we architected end to end: PKI-backed credentials, mTLS between services, OAuth2/OIDC flows, and encrypted data paths. The clearest evidence of what we can build for you.
Founder background building and operating the certificate and trust infrastructure behind consumer devices and telecom systems: certificate lifecycle, key management, and the hard parts of cryptographic identity.
Migrated and optimized the backend for Customer Item Availability during a global cloud transition (OpenShift to GCP), redesigning API endpoints and monitoring to prevent outages at peak seasonal traffic, handling 1,000+ requests per second.
Engineering delivery on a national digital lottery platform, with the reliability, security, and regulatory compliance such systems demand.
Led the technical architecture for a global self-service Order Management portal, with real-time data sync between web interfaces and backend ERPs, reducing manual support intervention.
Who we work with
You've won, or are bidding on, work that needs serious identity, PKI, or ICAM depth, and you need a senior subcontractor who can carry that scope. We slot into your team and deliver the hard identity pieces, on your timeline.
You're in healthcare, finance, or another regulated space, and authentication, access, and data protection have to be right. We design and build identity and security systems that hold up to your auditors.
How we typically start
We earn trust step by step. A typical engagement starts small and low-risk, then scales as we deliver.
A short discovery to understand your systems, constraints, and goals.
We define what matters most and where to focus first.
A clear plan with milestones, owners, and success criteria.
We start with a contained piece of work to build mutual trust.
Transparent collaboration, open to feedback, and flexible when needs change.
Industries
Whether you're a prime that needs a senior identity subcontractor, or a regulated team that needs authentication and access done right, tell us what you're building. We'll come back with a clear, low-risk first step.
