Unsung is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Crypto4A Technologies Inc., a Canadian cybersecurity company specialising in the development of quantum-safe, crypto-agile hardware security modules (HSMs) and key and secrets management platforms. This collaboration enhances Unsung’s ability to deliver future-ready Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and digital trust services across government and enterprise environments.

Crypto4A’s flagship product, the QxHSM, is a fifth-generation quantum-safe HSM that supports both classical and post-quantum cryptography. It is designed to provide a robust, flexible foundation for secure digital infrastructure, including use cases such as PKI, firmware signing, secure DNS and confidential computing. This aligns with Unsung’s role as a trusted, vendor-neutral PKI partner, providing comprehensive services from discovery and design through to managed services and quantum-readiness planning.

This partnership strengthens our collective position in several key areas:

Post-quantum resilience
Crypto4A’s quantum-first approach supports Unsung’s strategic focus on advising clients through the transition to post-quantum cryptographic systems, in line with emerging NIST standards and future compliance requirements.

Vendor-neutral architecture
Both organisations prioritise open architectures and crypto-agility. Crypto4A’s commitment to eliminating vendor lock-in complements Unsung’s tailored, best-in-class PKI implementations and outcome-based consultancy.

Secure lifecycle management
Crypto4A’s integrated hardware–software ecosystem and QxVault key management platform provide a secure foundation for the management of sensitive keys and secrets, which can be seamlessly integrated into Unsung’s PKI managed services.

Shared values in digital trust
Crypto4A’s leadership team brings decades of experience from organisations such as Chrysalis-ITS, SafeNet and Thales, further aligning with Unsung’s commitment to secure-by-design architectures and digital trust enablement.

Darren Davies, CEO of Unsung, said:

"Our partnership with Crypto4A strengthens our mission to deliver quantum-resilient digital trust solutions built on the very latest innovation. The Crypto4A product suite provides an extensible HSM platform capable of supporting and running HSM-dependent workloads without the need for additional compute or storage. By integrating Crypto4A’s innovative HSM technology into our services, we can help clients design and operate cryptographic platforms with a smaller physical footprint, lower cost of ownership, and security that is robust today and resilient for the future."

As digital transformation accelerates and quantum threats move closer to reality, the need for crypto-agile, standards-compliant infrastructure is critical. This partnership allows Unsung and Crypto4A to support organisations in navigating this shift with confidence, combining leading-edge hardware innovation with deep PKI expertise.
