Notarius

What Notarius does

Solutions Notarius Inc., commercially unified under the trade name Portage CyberTech, is a Montreal-based digital-trust software provider founded around 2000 and operating for 25+ years. It builds and sells certified electronic signature, digital identity verification, customer identity and access management (CIAM), and CRM solutions, marketed to governments, municipalities, regulated professions (engineers, architects, legal, healthcare), para-public organizations, and selected business and education segments. The company claims 1M+ citizens served and 1M+ annual transactions processed through its platform.

The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules stack: CertifiO Digital Signature certifies signer identity and professional affiliation; ConsignO Cloud and ConsignO Desktop handle the full electronic-signature cycle on web and desktop respectively; CertifiO ID delivers high-assurance identity verification for regulated organizations; CitizenOne provides government-specific CIAM; and 1CRM is an all-in-one customer, order, case, service, and project management system. Developer APIs automate signature and validation workflows, and Professional Services support implementation. Notarius owns registered Canadian trademarks (NOTARIUS, CERTIFIO, CERTIFIO ID, CONSIGNO, CONSIGNO CLOUD), while CitizenOne is held by the Portage CyberTech Inc. entity.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring software subscriptions (CertifiO, ConsignO Cloud, CertifiO ID, CitizenOne) supplemented by professional services and API access. GTM combines enterprise field sales into government and regulated organizations, inside sales for mid-market, self-serve / free-trial options for 1CRM and CertifiO ID, and a formal multi-tier partner program (referral, distributor/reseller, technology, MSP, professional-associations). Headcount is reported in the 51–100 band. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; CTA mix across the site (Subscribe, Free Trial, Book a Demo) confirms a hybrid subscription-plus-enterprise-sales motion. No external funding rounds, M&A, or revenue figures are disclosed.

Direct peers

• OneSpan: Provides digital identity verification, e-signature, and fraud prevention solutions heavily focused on regulated industries (banking, financial services, government). Closest functional peer to Notarius given overlap in certified e-signature, IDV, and regulated-vertical go-to-market.
• DocuSign: Global leader in electronic signature and agreement lifecycle management. Directly comparable to Notarius' ConsignO Cloud and ConsignO Desktop e-signature products, though DocuSign serves a far broader market across enterprise and SMB rather than specializing in regulated verticals.
• Entrust: Provides digital identity, PKI, and secure communications solutions including certified e-signatures and identity verification for government and enterprise. Comparable to Notarius' CertifiO/ConsignO products and CertifiO ID high-assurance identity verification.
• Jumio: AI-powered identity verification and KYC/AML platform serving financial services, fintech, and online businesses. Comparable to Notarius on identity verification (CertifiO ID) and KYC-driven onboarding use cases.
• ID.me: Identity verification network focused on government services (Login.gov partnership, state DMVs, federal agencies). Directly comparable to Notarius' CitizenOne CIAM and CertifiO ID products given shared government/citizen identity focus.
• GlobalSign: PKI and digital certificate provider offering digital signatures, identity verification, and SSL/TLS solutions. Overlaps with Notarius on certified digital signature technology (CertifiO) and high-assurance identity use cases.

Broad incumbents

• ForgeRock: Enterprise identity and access management platform with strong CIAM capabilities serving regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government). Competes with Notarius' CitizenOne in CIAM and broader IAM, but at significantly larger scale and enterprise focus.
• Adobe (Acrobat Sign): Adobe Acrobat Sign (formerly EchoSign) is a major e-signature offering bundled within Adobe Document Cloud, serving enterprise, government, and regulated customers worldwide. Directly competes with ConsignO Cloud but operates as part of a much broader document/creative software portfolio.
• Okta: Leading cloud-native identity and access management platform with CIAM and workforce IAM offerings. Comparable to Notarius' CitizenOne CIAM product, though Okta serves broad enterprise rather than specializing in government/public-sector verticals.
• Thales (Digital Identity & Security): Global provider of digital identity, PKI, and data security solutions through its DIS segment (formerly Gemalto). Serves government, financial services, and enterprise with e-signature, IAM, and identity verification — overlapping Notarius' CertifiO and CitizenOne products at much larger scale.
