ABOUT SAFECIPHER

Enterprise Cryptography, PKI & Trust Architecture Specialists

SafeCipher Ltd is an international cybersecurity consultancy specialising exclusively in cryptography, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), hardware security modules (HSMs), key management, and post-quantum readiness.

Founded in 2012, SafeCipher supports organisations operating in high-risk, highly regulated and large-scale environments across Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, including active engagements in the United States and Western Australia.

Our work spans enterprise IT, cloud platforms, IoT and embedded systems, Operational Technology (OT), industrial environments, and critical national infrastructure, where cryptographic failure represents systemic business, safety or national-level risk.

Specialist-Led by Design

SafeCipher was established to address a gap left by generalist security consultancies — the need for deep, hands-on cryptographic expertise rather than abstract policy advice.

Cryptography underpins identity, trust, firmware integrity, data protection and system resilience. Errors at this layer are difficult to detect and costly to remediate. SafeCipher therefore operates as a specialist-led consultancy, focusing exclusively on cryptographic systems rather than broad cybersecurity services.

This approach allows us to deliver:

  • Cryptographic architectures that withstand long operational lifetimes
  • PKI designs suitable for millions of identities and devices
  • HSM and key management governance aligned to real operational risk
  • Practical post-quantum transition strategies
  • Independent, vendor-neutral technical assurance

Leadership & Core Practice Team

SafeCipher is led by a core team responsible for technical direction, delivery assurance and client engagement.

Core Practice Team

Enterprise Delivery Model & Specialist Network

SafeCipher operates with a lean core leadership team supported by a trusted network of specialist consultants and delivery partners.

This model allows us to remain highly focused on cryptography while scaling securely to meet the needs of enterprise, multinational and critical infrastructure engagements.

Depending on the scope and risk profile of an engagement, SafeCipher assembles delivery teams that may include:

  • PKI architects and trust-fabric designers
  • HSM and key management specialists
  • Cloud security engineers (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud)
  • IoT and embedded systems cryptography experts
  • OT / industrial security practitioners
  • Compliance, assurance and programme delivery professionals

All associated consultants are selected for deep domain expertise and are engaged under strict confidentiality, security and governance agreements.

This delivery model enables SafeCipher to operate effectively both as a stand-alone specialist consultancy and as a cryptography partner working alongside Tier-1 consultancies and system integrators.

Proven Experience Across Complex Environments

SafeCipher consultants have delivered cryptographic and PKI engagements across a wide range of sectors, including:

  • Energy, utilities and smart infrastructure
  • Financial services and payments
  • Government and international organisations
  • Manufacturing and supply-chain environments
  • Cloud and SaaS platforms
  • Industrial and OT environments
  • IoT and embedded device ecosystems

Our work routinely addresses challenges such as:

  • Legacy cryptography remediation
  • PKI modernisation and trust redesign
  • Secure device identity and firmware signing
  • HSM lifecycle management and governance
  • Cryptographic audits and risk assessments
  • Post-quantum cryptography readiness and transition planning

Independence, Discretion & Trust

SafeCipher operates as a vendor-neutral consultancy, providing independent guidance across cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments.

Many of our engagements are delivered under NDA, including work performed as a specialist sub-contractor to major global consultancies and system integrators. As a result, we focus on outcomes, architecture and assurance rather than public client disclosure.

We are members of the PKI Consortium and actively engage with evolving industry standards and best practices.

How We Work

Specialist-Led
Cryptography and PKI engagements are led by senior subject matter experts — not generalists.

Scalable Delivery
Projects scale from focused advisory reviews to multi-stream enterprise programmes.

Risk-Focused
We prioritise cryptographic risk, operational resilience and long-term sustainability.

Future-Ready
Architectures are designed with crypto-agility and post-quantum transition in mind.

Partner with SafeCipher

Whether supporting an enterprise modernisation programme, auditing cryptographic risk across complex estates, or preparing for post-quantum transition, SafeCipher provides deep technical expertise with enterprise-grade delivery discipline.
