Notarius to Portage CyberTech Branding Transition FAQ
1 – When will the transition begin?
The new Portage CyberTech website will launch on January 23, 2026, marking the start of a branding transition involving the Notarius brand. Some Notarius materials will be updated at launch, while additional content and visual elements will be updated gradually throughout 2026 as part of a phased approach. During this period, the Notarius brand will continue to be used where appropriate to ensure clarity and continuity for our customers. This branding transition does not involve any change to the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). All trust services, certificate hierarchies, and cryptographic identities remain exactly the same as they are today.
2 – Is this a legal name change?
No. Solutions Notarius Inc. remains the legal entity and continues to hold all certifications, contracts, and accreditations (ISO, SOC 2, eIDAS, etc.). There is no change to the legal entity name appearing in digital certificates, including the “O=Solutions Notarius” field used in all certificate profiles.
3 – Will my certificates, signatures, or documents remain valid?
Yes. All existing digital signature certificates, validation processes, and archived documents remain unaffected, fully valid and legally recognized. No action is required on your part.

No certificate reissuance or migration is planned or required.
4 – Will there be any changes to my products, integrations, or support?

5 – Will pricing change as part of this transition?
No. Pricing remains unchanged. This branding transition does not affect your subscriptions, fees, or renewal terms.
6 – Do existing contracts or terms need to be updated?

Future agreements and renewals will continue to reference Solutions Notarius Inc. as the contracting entity.
7 – Why is this branding transition taking place now?
The organization has been mindful of the strong recognition of the Notarius brand, which is why this branding transition is being implement gradually. More than three years after the acquisition, this step reflect the operational reality of an organization operating under a unified brand identity, while maintaining its existing legal and regulatory structure. This approach helps reduce confusion and simplifies communication, procurement, and compliance activities.

All existing audits, certifications, and compliance frameworks (ISO, SOC 2, Law 25, PIPEDA, eIDAS) remain valid.
