Trust & Compliance

Your data, protected and in your control

QRM is built for organizations that take security seriously. Our own people test it the way an adversary would, named people answer for it, and you decide where your data lives.

  • Built to SOC 2 criteria
  • Built to ISO 27001
  • Reviewed every month
  • Deploy in any region
  • Never trains on your data

Last reviewed November 2, 2026

Defense in depth. Each layer checks something different, so an attacker has to get past every one of them, while your people pass each layer with their own credentials.

Our commitment

Every decision we make about QRM starts with three commitments.

Privacy

Your data is yours. We do not sell it, we never use it to train AI models, and you choose where it lives.

Security

Defense in depth at every layer, reviewed every month by our own staff and tested by our own red team, with every confirmed finding tracked to a fix.

Trust

Every new hire passes a pre-employment background check, and most of our staff hold active SECRET or TOP SECRET clearances. Our staff use MFA on email, source code and every cloud console, and complete security training every year.

Deploy anywhere

Your data lives where you decide

Run QRM in your own cloud account on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or Oracle Cloud, in any region you choose. Or run it in your own data center. Your data stays in the location you select.

Your cloud

A dedicated QRM deployment in your own cloud account, in the region you choose.

Your data center

QRM on your own servers, behind your own physical and network controls.

QRM cloud

Fully managed workspaces at yourteam.qais.app, ready in minutes.

  • Amazon Web Services
  • Google Cloud
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Oracle Cloud

Every Enterprise deployment is dedicated to a single customer.

Security

Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and sensitive data is encrypted at rest with AES-256.

Enterprise access controls

Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, role-based access and an append-only audit log of sign-ins, failed sign-ins, administrator changes and agent actions, managed by your administrators.

Tenant isolation

Each workspace's data is kept separate from every other customer's, and every request is scoped to its own workspace.

Tested backups

Encrypted, off-site backups with point-in-time recovery, and full restores run by our staff to prove they work.

Red team

Our own people attack QRM, and named people answer for what they find.

Our red team is our own staff. They review the code and configuration every month and attack QaiS the way an adversary would: leaking data, overriding its instructions, turning it against the people it works for. Blane Steckline, our security point of contact, owns the security program and tracks every confirmed weakness to a fix.

Monthly security reviews

Our own staff review the code and configuration in depth every month, and every finding is tracked to a fix.

Adversarial testing of QaiS

Our staff attack QaiS on the live chat surface with known prompt-injection and jailbreak techniques, from hidden instructions in a file to slow multi-turn escalation. Every confirmed weakness is tracked to a fix.

Recovery and response drills

Our staff run full restores from our off-site backups to prove they work, and rehearse the incident response plan with a tabletop exercise at least once a year. Customers are notified within the contracted time.

Every change scanned

Each code change is scanned for exposed credentials before release, and dependencies are checked every day for known vulnerabilities. Our staff fix critical and high findings within 30 days.

AI and your data

We don't train the model. We teach the harness.

The harness is everything around the model: memory, preferences, skills and the rules your people set. It learns how your workspace works and keeps that learning in your workspace, not in anyone's model.

Enterprise deployments keep all of it on your own server, in the region you choose.

Never trains on your data

Your data is never used to train AI models.

Agents follow your rules

AI agents act only with the permissions your people have. Every action is recorded, and sending, publishing or spending waits for a person's approval.

You stay in control

AI stays inside your workspace, and you decide which AI features are turned on.

Compliance

QRM's security program is built to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and ISO/IEC 27001, and the platform runs on infrastructure from providers certified to both. Enterprise customers can run QRM inside their own cloud account. Send us your security questionnaire and we complete it.

Responsible disclosure

Found a vulnerability? Our security contacts want to hear from you.

Email security@qais.app with "Security" in the subject and include the steps to reproduce.

Please

  • Test only against a workspace you own or are allowed to test.
  • Never access, change or delete other people's data.
  • No denial-of-service, social engineering or physical attacks.
  • Give us reasonable time to fix the issue before sharing it.

In return

  • We confirm your report and keep you updated.
  • We credit you when the fix ships, if you wish.
  • We do not take legal action against good-faith research that follows these rules.

Common questions

Can we choose where our data is stored?

Yes. Deploy QRM in your own cloud account, in any region you choose, or in your own data center.

What is QRM's compliance status?

QRM's security program is built to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and ISO/IEC 27001, and the platform runs on infrastructure from providers certified to both. Enterprise customers can run QRM inside their own cloud account. Send us your security questionnaire and we complete it.

Is our data used to train AI?

No. Your data is never used to train AI models.

How do you test QRM's security?

Our own staff review the code and configuration every month, scan every change before release and attack QaiS with known prompt-injection and jailbreak techniques. Every confirmed finding is tracked to a fix, and we welcome reports from outside security researchers.

What happens to our data if we leave?

Administrators can export workspace data, and account owners can request deletion.

Can you complete our security questionnaire?

Yes. Send it to security@qais.app.
