SafeLogic

What SafeLogic does

SafeLogic is a privately held US company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Vienna, Virginia (Washington DC metro area) that specializes in FIPS 140-validated cryptographic software and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions. The company's product suite centers on CryptoComply, a family of drop-in cryptographic modules available across BoringCrypto, Core, Go, Java, Mobile, and .NET environments, plus rapid FIPS validation services (RapidCert, ~8 weeks versus industry 18-24 months) and ongoing certificate maintenance (MaintainCert). In 2024-2026 the company expanded into PQC, releasing SafePQ (June 2026 GA), CryptoComply Go v4.0 (December 2025), and CryptoComply Core and Mobile v4 (June 2026), with full ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, and LMS support and a CNSA 2.0 mode for classified environments. SafeLogic submitted its FIPS 140-3 Provider with PQC to the CMVP on May 19, 2026 (CAVP certificate #A8228), positioning it ahead of the September 2026 FIPS 140-2 to 140-3 transition deadline.

The company's business model combines subscription-based licensing of CryptoComply modules, OpenSSL extended support subscriptions, subscription-based MaintainCert, and professional services for expedited FIPS validation. It sells primarily through direct enterprise sales and a Carahsoft government reseller channel (announced September 2024) that targets US Government procurement. Customers include Fortune 500 technology vendors (HPE, Broadcom, Cisco, Juniper, Fujitsu, Lexmark, Okta, Kaseya), cybersecurity firms (Zscaler, Symantec, BlackBerry, Duo Security, Vectra Networks), and defense (Raytheon), with primary verticals spanning public sector, healthcare, financial services, and technology. SafeLogic leads NIST's NCCoE PQC Risk Management and Migration Prioritization workstream and is led by CEO Evgeny Gervis. The company has reported double-digit revenue growth in 2023 and 2024, with new FIPS 140 VaaS customers increasing 350% in 2023.
