Ismail Zemouri

CISSP | PKI Architect | Cybersecurity Consultant

CISSP-certified PKI Architect and founder of MYKEYPAIR SRL, a Brussels-based cybersecurity consultancy focused on cryptographic trust infrastructure for regulated industries.

With deep expertise in Public Key Infrastructure, Hardware Security Modules, and EU regulatory compliance (DORA, eIDAS, PSD2), I help financial institutions design, evaluate, and deploy enterprise PKI and KMS solutions. My work spans the full lifecycle: from writing RFPs and evaluating vendor responses to hands-on deployment, key ceremony procedures, and compliance documentation.

Currently serving as PKI Architect at a Franco-German private banking group, leading the PKI 3.0 initiative covering certificate lifecycle management, key management systems, and cloud sovereignty — all under DORA Article 7 compliance requirements. Previous experience at European central banking institutions and critical infrastructure operators across the EU.
