Originating from the Sanskrit word for zero, the concept of "nothing" traveled through Arabic mathematics, Medieval Latin, and Middle French before becoming the English word "cypher" – a message not easily understood. We chose [cyphrs] because at the heart of every encryption system is the same idea: transforming the visible into the invisible.
We secure what your infrastructure trusts
[cyphrs]™ builds certificate lifecycle management and trust infrastructure – the foundation that everything else depends on.
From government security to certificate intelligence
We spent years inside the most demanding security environments on the planet.
When enterprises and defence organisations needed systems that could withstand real adversaries, we built the cryptographic foundations: PKI architecture, FIPS 140-3 certified platforms, post-quantum implementations, Common Criteria validated systems. We learned what it means to build security that actually holds – not security that looks good on paper.
That experience taught us something uncomfortable: the most catastrophic failures rarely come from sophisticated attacks. They come from a certificate nobody knew existed, expiring at 2am, taking down 14 services at once.
The hardest security problems aren't always the flashiest ones.
The mandate that changes everything
The CA/Browser Forum has set a course that will compress TLS certificate lifetimes from over a year to just 47 days by 2029. Domain validation reuse windows are collapsing from 200 days to 10. Every renewal becomes a full issuance cycle.
Most organisations today manage certificates through spreadsheets, monitoring alerts, and institutional memory. That works – until the person who set it up leaves, a service gets deployed outside the normal process, or the mandate arrives and triples the renewal workload overnight.
Manual certificate management isn't just inefficient. At 47-day cycles, it becomes impossible.
Our Mission
Make enterprise-grade certificate lifecycle management accessible to every organisation – not just those with dedicated PKI teams and government-scale budgets.
What We Believe
1. The certificate you don't know about is the one that breaks you
Visibility isn't a nice-to-have. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
2. Compliance follows good security
Build systems that are genuinely secure, and compliance becomes documentation – not remediation.
3. Automation isn't optional at 47 days
The CA/B Forum mandate doesn't care about your change management process. Adapt or face outages.
4. Trust is an architecture, not a product
Certificate health, cipher strength, chain integrity, key exchange – every layer matters. You can't buy your way out of a broken trust chain.
5. Data sovereignty is non-negotiable
Your certificate estate never leaves your infrastructure. The [cyphrs] Score is generated inside your Hub. We see nothing.

Who we serve
Platform & Infrastructure Engineering
You're running dozens – or hundreds – of services. The 47-day mandate means your current renewal process won't scale. [cyphrs] automates the full lifecycle: discovery, renewal, rotation, and verification. One platform. No spreadsheets.
Security & Compliance Teams
You need audit trails, provable controls, and visibility across your entire certificate estate. [cyphrs] gives you a single pane of glass, the [cyphrs] Score per service, and compliance-ready logging – without slowing down the teams you support.
Regulated Industries
Financial services, healthcare, government. Certificate expiry isn't just an operational failure for you – it's a compliance event. [cyphrs] is built for environments where "we didn't know it existed" isn't an acceptable answer.
