History
SafeLogic was founded in 2012 by Ray Potter, who currently serves as the CEO, as a spin-off from consulting firm Apex Assurance Group. His partner at Apex, Wes Higaki, played a key role in the strategy and launch of SafeLogic and served as COO before his retirement. Apex Assurance Group provided consulting expertise to many major corporations, helping them complete projects in FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria certification. As the FIPS 140-2 work became increasingly repetitive, Potter realized that their cycles could become more efficient by developing a plug-and-play solution. They developed CryptoComply, which helped them in establishing their roots in the industry.
Apex Assurance Group continued to operate for several years in parallel, providing Common Criteria consulting, before Potter incorporated those services into SafeLogic and ceased operations of the former parent company. SafeLogic was awarded with 2016 Golden Bridge Awards Startup of the Year as a Silver Winner in the Security Software category.
Products
SafeLogic offers several products in the area of FIPS 140-2 validated encryption. Major offerings include:
OpenSSL 1.1 FIPS Module Project
In July 2016, SafeLogic entered into an unprecedented agreement with OpenSSL to sponsor the development and to lead the FIPS 140-2 validation of a new encryption module built for use in the then-upcoming OpenSSL 1.1 release.
