What Eonti does

Eonti Inc. is a privately held, founder-led PKI and cybersecurity consulting firm headquartered in Lafayette, Colorado. The company designs, implements, and operates Public Key Infrastructure trust ecosystems for industry alliances and mission-critical infrastructure programs, with reported issuance of over 500 million digital certificates and zero in-field revocations. Its core offerings are organized around three consulting pillars — Trust Infrastructure Management, 360° PKI Assessment, and Cybersecurity Consulting Solutions — which decompose into sub-modules including PKI Modeling, PKI Lifecycle Management, Infrastructure Policies and Procedures, Proof of Concept, IoT Security, and Broadband Industry Security.

The company's technology stack is classical PKI: certificate governance, lifecycle operations (issuance, validity tracking, renewal, revocation), CP/CPS documentation, and Registration Authority services. Underlying credibility stems from founder and CEO Oscar Marcia's 15-year tenure as VP of Security at CableLabs, where he authored DOCSIS, PacketCable, OpenCable, and DPoE security specifications. Eonti monetizes primarily through professional services engagements and per-certificate / onboarding fees as the appointed Registration Authority for five ecosystems: OpenADR Alliance (smart grid), NENA (US NG9-1-1), TELUS (Canada NG9-1-1), A3SA (ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN TV), and CSA (Matter smart home).

The business model is hybrid professional services plus recurring RA / certificate lifecycle fees. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise consulting with channel-driven demand from the alliances and standards bodies Eonti serves, producing a heavily concentrated customer base anchored on a small number of ecosystem relationships. With 1-10 employees, no external funding, and no disclosed revenue, Eonti operates as a high-credibility, capital-light micro-business whose growth ceiling is largely a function of how deeply it can be embedded in expanding standards ecosystems.
