QNSP 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
QNSP supports continuous evaluation for 7 live frameworks; other named frameworks are architecturally supported with evidence available on request.
| Framework | How QNSP maps |
|---|---|
| SOX | Sections 302 and 404 — internal controls over financial reporting. QNSP 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. |
QNSP architecture
Capabilities mapped to this vertical
How QNSP 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 QNSP 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
