QNSI for Insurance & Asset Management
PQC for insurers, reinsurers, asset managers, and pension funds with multi-decade data-retention obligations.
Long-cycle PQC for insurers, reinsurers, wealth managers, and pension funds whose data retention obligations span 30-50+ years - making them prime harvest-now-decrypt-later targets. SOX, MAS TRM, and DORA-aligned audit chains.
Threat model
What we're defending against
The HNDL, regulatory, and operational threats specific to this vertical.
Multi-decade policy retention
Life insurance, annuities, and pension records are routinely retained 30-80 years. Any record in transit today that an adversary captures is decryptable on the buyer's likely CRQC arrival horizon.
Claim-record integrity over a lifetime
A 1995-issued policy must still be cryptographically authenticatable in 2055. PQC signatures applied today survive that timeline; RSA-2048 does not.
Reinsurance and broker exchange
Sensitive actuarial data moves across reinsurers, brokers, and underwriters. PQC-signed exchange and per-counterparty key isolation contain breach scope.
Compliance mapping
Frameworks this vertical operates under
QNSI supports continuous evaluation for 7 live frameworks; other named frameworks are architecturally supported with evidence available on request.
| Framework | How QNSI maps |
|---|---|
| SOX | Sections 302 and 404 - internal controls over financial reporting. QNSI audit-service for tamper-evident operational logs. |
| MAS TRM (Singapore) ↗ | Applies to Singapore insurers under the Insurance Act - cryptographic controls and audit logging. |
| DORA (EU financial) | ICT third-party risk and operational-resilience - covers insurers/asset managers as financial entities. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 ↗ | A.5.34 Privacy and protection of PII; A.8.24 Use of cryptography. |
| SOC 2 Type II ↗ | Service organizations holding insurance/asset records - Common Criteria CC6 + CC7. |
QNSI architecture
Capabilities mapped to this vertical
How QNSI services compose to meet this vertical's needs.
7-year retention add-on standard; longer retention available for pension/life-insurance horizons
Per-policy / per-portfolio encryption keys with retention-aligned rotation
ML-DSA-65 signatures applied at issuance - survive the entire policy life
Identify all RSA/ECDSA assets in legacy actuarial systems requiring migration
Outcomes
What deploying QNSI for this vertical delivers
- ✓PQC signatures applied today remain cryptographically authenticatable across the policy life
- ✓Long-retention audit chain for regulator review (SOX, MAS, DORA)
- ✓Per-counterparty key isolation in reinsurance and broker exchanges
- ✓Continuous CBOM inventory to plan legacy RSA/ECDSA retirement
