About Pfortner
Founded on Trust.
Built for Resilience.
Founded in 2008, Pfortner is a South African technology company specialising in cybersecurity and secure digital communications. We focus on protecting sensitive communications and digital infrastructure through secure platforms, robust cybersecurity architecture, and responsible technology development.
Pfortner works closely with public and private sector organisations operating in regulated and mission-critical environments where trust, security, and resilience are essential.
The company is committed to supporting sovereign technology capability while maintaining strict alignment with legal, ethical, and regulatory frameworks.
Trust, Integrity and Privacy are foundational to everything we do. We believe that organisations operating in sensitive and mission-critical environments must be able to rely on partners who demonstrate reliability, honesty, and respect for the information entrusted to them.
Together, these values shape how we develop solutions, engage with our clients and partners, and uphold the responsibility that comes with working in high-trust environments.
Trust
Trust is earned through consistent performance and accountability. Organisations operating in sensitive environments must be able to rely on partners who demonstrate reliability, honesty, and respect for the information entrusted to them.
Integrity
Integrity guides our decisions and ensures that we operate with strong ethical principles and full compliance with applicable laws and standards — without exception or compromise.
Privacy
Privacy remains central to the design and deployment of our technologies, ensuring that information is protected and handled responsibly — at every layer of every solution.
Product Portfolio
Secure by Design
Deployed on private or cloud-based infrastructure, always under the full and exclusive control of the customer. Data sovereignty is not optional — it is foundational.
SecuriCHAT
Private Messaging Platform
Your own private communications platform — secure, real-time messaging with the familiar functionality of modern platforms, operating entirely within your controlled enterprise environment. Instant messaging, group communications, and multimedia exchange, all encrypted.
SecureEMAIL
Encrypted Email
End-to-end encrypted email that integrates seamlessly with existing environments. Users do not need to change their email address — use your current public or corporate email for highly secure communications. Messages remain encrypted from sender to recipient; only the intended recipient can decrypt and read.
StealthWAN
Invisible Network Perimeter
Make your network invisible to attackers. StealthWAN significantly enhances WAN security by encrypting all communications while masking the network infrastructure from external visibility — reducing the attack surface and protecting critical systems from discovery by hostile actors. Build secure, resilient, invisible perimeters across distributed environments.
SecureTRANSFER
Encrypted File Transfer
Safely share large files with end-to-end encryption, without complex client installations or exposure to third-party cloud services. Deployable on-premise or in a secure cloud environment. Full control over the data environment — sensitive files never leave your perimeter unprotected.
