CyberTrust Consulting is a boutique cybersecurity consultancy with deep expertise in Identity Security, Digital Identity, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). We help organisations build future-proof digital trust infrastructures by combining decades of industry experience with a sharp focus on emerging cryptographic threats and identity risks.

We don’t just advise—we guide, co-design, and enable you to build resilient systems that underpin your most critical digital services. Whether you’re a government agency, a bank, a retailer, or a software provider, we offer tailored security consulting that meets you where you are—technically, operationally, and strategically.

​

Our team brings together a unique blend of technical depth, strategic insight, and real-world implementation experience. Founded by industry veteran Paul Platen, our story is rooted in a commitment to ethical identity use, reducing systemic barriers to digital participation, and building resilient trust frameworks for the future.

​

With experience spanning banking, government, insurance, aviation, and technology sectors across Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, the CyberTrust team has led complex identity and cryptography programs from the ground up. Our collective background includes leadership in initiatives like Digital Identity New Zealand, where Paul served as Chair, supporting a vision for a trustworthy, inclusive digital future for Aotearoa New Zealand.

 

We are passionate about mentoring the next generation—making cybersecurity an accessible and meaningful career path for rangatahi and individuals from all walks of life.
