QLAD is a trust orchestrator that enables organizations to selectively deploy sensitive workloads within confidential computing while applying post-quantum protections across critical infrastructure and data workflows.
Every workload proving itself — continuously, across every cloud.
Attackers are harvesting encrypted data today, waiting to unlock it tomorrow. QLAD makes sure that day never comes — by making quantum-safe trust your default state, not a someday project.
QLAD enables organizations to apply post-quantum cryptography to sensitive workloads and data without requiring specialized cryptographic expertise.
Every system has to prove it is genuine and untampered before it touches your data — and it keeps proving it, continuously.
Set your trust policy once. QLAD enforces it everywhere, around the clock — verifying, isolating, and revoking access without a single ticket filed.
No rip-and-replace. QLAD layers onto your existing cloud and tools, and is up and running in under an hour.
The moment anything changes or looks wrong, access is cut off automatically — and only restored once trust is re-proven.
Regulators are already asking about quantum readiness. QLAD generates the proof for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and NSM-10 — ready to hand to any auditor.
QLAD streamlines the preparation and deployment of sensitive workloads across cloud and on-premises Kubernetes environments, applying the configurations and supporting components needed to establish a trusted execution environment.
Tag a sensitive pod and QLAD takes it from there: hardware, image, and environment are cryptographically verified against your trust policy before anything starts. No proof, no run.
Approved workloads run inside their own pod-level enclave — encrypted in memory, invisible to hypervisors and privileged admins, wrapped in quantum-safe encryption. Drift triggers an instant block, and audit evidence writes itself.
Confidential computing existed for years — if you could afford the specialists. QLAD made it accessible: every pod runs in its own quantum-safe enclave — encrypted at rest, in transit, and in use — with admins, control planes, and hypervisors locked outside.
The last gap in encryption — closed by default.
If your data still matters in five years, it needs quantum-safe protection today. QLAD is built for the organizations where that stakes the most.
Transactions and customer records are prime targets for harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks. QLAD makes them quantum-safe — with PCI-DSS and SOX audit trails built in.
Patient records stay sensitive for decades — far past the quantum horizon. QLAD protects them at rest, in transit, and in use, with HIPAA-ready evidence by default.
Classified and sovereign workloads demand provable trust at every layer. QLAD enforces hardware-attested, quantum-safe security across the entire stack — NSM-10-aligned from day one.
Energy, telecom, and utilities are squarely in nation-state crosshairs. QLAD locks down operational systems without touching uptime.
Your models and training data are crown jewels. QLAD keeps them encrypted even while inference runs — protecting IP from cloud providers and insiders alike.
Prove tenant isolation cryptographically, not contractually. QLAD gives every customer verifiable, quantum-safe separation — a sales asset, not a cost center.
The QLAD Router classifies each request in real time. Complex reasoning goes to a premium frontier model. Everything else runs on open-source models like DeepSeek V4 — deployed in your own Kubernetes cluster inside a QLAD-secured enclave, so your data is never exposed.

Requests that genuinely need frontier-grade reasoning are routed to premium models — so you only pay top-tier prices for top-tier problems.
Everything else runs on open-source models like DeepSeek V4, deployed as a standard Kubernetes deployment inside QLAD-secured confidential containers. The model's origin no longer matters — your prompts and data stay encrypted, even while inference runs.

It makes every sensitive workload prove it's trustworthy before it runs, then keeps it sealed while it runs. Tag a pod and QLAD verifies the hardware, image, and environment against your policy — no proof, no run — then executes it inside its own quantum-safe, hardware-enforced enclave. Same cluster, same pipelines; nothing else changes.
The biggest one: execution. The moment a workload runs, today's encryption stops — data sits readable in memory, exposed to the host, the hypervisor, and anyone with node access. QLAD keeps data encrypted even while it's being processed, closing the last gap attackers count on.
No one. Isolation is enforced by the CPU itself (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP), so privileged admins, compromised hypervisors, cloud providers — even QLAD — stay outside the boundary. And you don't take anyone's word for it: every guarantee ships with cryptographic attestation evidence you can verify yourself.
Because the theft is happening now. Adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today to decrypt it the moment quantum computers catch up — and anything still sensitive in five years, from patient records to models to classified material, is already in scope. QLAD makes quantum-safe protection your default state, not a future migration.
One line of YAML. Developers add an annotation to a pod spec; QLAD handles attestation, isolation, and enforcement automatically. No app rewrites for typical workloads, no new orchestrator, no new workflow to learn — most teams protect their first workloads in under an hour.
Very little — protection runs in silicon, not in a proxy. Enclaves use native CPU instructions and attestation happens before startup, so nothing sits in your data path. For typical workloads the overhead is low single digits; the data-in-use gap it closes is not.
It doesn't run — or doesn't keep running. Failed attestation blocks startup; drift or tampering gets a workload isolated and its access revoked the moment it's detected, with the full evidence trail captured automatically. Trust is restored only once the workload proves itself again.
Audit support is on our roadmap. QLAD is designed to generate signed, exportable evidence for each verified workload — what ran, where, which hardware attested it, and against which policy — to help your team gather the evidence auditors ask for across frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOX, and NSM-10.
No. QLAD is Kubernetes-native and vendor-neutral — standard containers, standard registries, no proprietary SDK, identical behavior across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem. Remove it and your workloads keep running; you just lose the protection.
Join the private preview and make your organization quantum-secure in under an hour — no migration project, no new headcount.
