Architecture

Four-layer stack engineered for provable assurance

Ingress security, confidential runtime, platform services, and telemetry intelligence operate together so every deployment inherits sovereignty, observability, and PQC enforcement.

Policy-aware ingress terminating PQC-TLS and enforcing device trust before workloads execute.

Responsibilities

  • Edge gateways with Dilithium-signed mTLS certificates
  • Risk-adaptive MFA and device posture evaluation
  • Streaming telemetry into sovereign observability lakes

Managed Services

Operational controls packaged for rapid deployment

Service modules cover AI runtime, document vaulting, and secrets fabric so teams gain turnkey PQC governance without surrendering telemetry ownership.

QNSP Control Plane

Identity, policy, and workload orchestration fabric that anchors the quantum-native platform.

  • PQC-signed authentication, MFA, and tenant-scoped access control for every request.
  • Policy-as-code enforcement, workload scheduling, and enclave gating for AI jobs.
  • CI/CD integrations (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI) and multi-tenant management.

QNSP Data Plane

Quantum-resistant storage, document, and search services providing end-to-end data protection.

  • PQC-encrypted document and file storage with versioning and multi-region replication.
  • Document management with PQC-signed version chains and metadata-backed search.
  • Searchable encryption and PQC-signed data residency proofs for regulated workloads.

QNSP AI Trust Fabric

Model security, provenance, and enclave-based AI pipelines that turn AI into verifiable infrastructure.

  • Model artifact registry with PQC-signed provenance and lineage for training and inference.
  • Secure pipelines for AI workloads with enclave attestation and policy-aware decryption.
  • End-to-end cryptographic attestation for AI workloads across training, deployment, and monitoring.

QNSP PQC Vault

Secrets, keys, and HSM-backed root-of-trust delivering cryptographic agility and control.

  • Secrets management for credentials, API keys, and certificates with PQC encryption.
  • Centralized KMS with automated rotation, re-encryption, and BYOK key-wrapping flows.
  • FIPS 140-3 Level 3+ HSM integration anchoring PQC key operations and escrow.

QNSP Secure Collaboration

Real-time document collaboration and workspaces with quantum-secure provenance.

  • Secure documents with PQC-signed edits, comments, and conflict resolution.
  • Team workspaces with PQC-signed sessions, annotations, and access policies.
  • Collaboration sessions bound to identity, residency, and retention requirements.

QNSP Audit & Compliance Core

Evidence, audit, and SIEM integrations that keep regulators, boards, and auditors on the same page.

  • Immutable, Merkle-tree audit logs with HSM-signed checkpoints and residency proofs.
  • Automated compliance workflows for GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOX, and sector mandates.
  • Backed by 14 production services: Authentication service, Access control service, Edge gateway, Storage service, Search service, Metadata management, AI orchestrator, Workload attestation, Artifact registry, Vault service, KMS service, Audit service, Security monitoring service, and Tenant/Platform API.

Security & Governance

Zero-trust enforcement with quantum-safe telemetry

Controls align to executive mandates—zero-trust enforcement, quantum-safe key orchestration, and compliance telemetry stream evidence to regulators and boards.

Telemetry & Security

  • Zero-Trust Enforcement

    Identity, device, and workload posture enforced at every hop with quantum-resistant credentials.

  • Quantum-Safe Key Fabric

    Centralized PQC key orchestration for data-in-use, in-flight, and at-rest.

  • Compliance Telemetry

    Evidence pipelines that satisfy executive orders, sector mandates, and assurance frameworks.

Governance Pillars

Executive Order 14028 Alignment

  • Zero-trust, logging, and PQC controls mapped to Section 3 and 7 mandates.

NIST PQC Transition

  • Ready for NIST SP 800-208 key establishment migration across services.

Sector Mandates

  • HIPAA, FFIEC, and DoD SRG baseline controls automated with continuous evidence capture.

Deployment Models

Match control requirements without sacrificing velocity

SaaS, dedicated private cloud, and sovereign deployments share a common PQC-hardened core while adapting governance, residency, and operational postures to each institution.

SaaS Multi-Tenant

Mid-market and growth-stage institutions accelerating compliance.

Deployment focus

  • Managed by CUI Labs with 24/7 operations desk
  • Regional isolation with customer-specific encryption domains
  • Designed for teams seeking fastest time-to-value

Dedicated Private Cloud

Regulated enterprises requiring bespoke integrations and data residency guarantees.

Deployment focus

  • Single-tenant control plane with managed updates
  • Customer-owned encryption anchors with PQC escrow
  • Integration bridges into existing SIEM, IAM, and ticketing

Roadmap

Prospective engagements today, sovereign edge tomorrow

QNSP is executing regulated prospective engagements, scaling private-cloud orchestration, and building the ecosystem required for quantum-secure AI and data estates.

Focus Areas

  • Run AI runtime, document vault, and secrets fabric with regulated prospective engagements (pilots commence Q1 2026)
  • Launch compliance telemetry dashboards across HIPAA and EO 14028
  • Harden PQC module integrations with GPU enclave partners

Prospective engagement onboarding

Orchestrate AI runtime, document vault, and secrets fabric for regulated pilots.

  1. Run readiness assessment across PQC controls
  2. Activate AI runtime + vault services with compliance telemetry
  3. Capture evidence packs for executive and regulator briefings

Sovereign deployment acceleration

Extend QNSP into air-gapped or sovereign estates with hardware-backed assurance.

  1. Provision sovereign control plane with PQC escrow
  2. Integrate SIEM/IAM bridges and residency controls
  3. Launch telemetry federation for cross-border reporting
