▸Compliance Guidance

HIPAA

Suitable for ePHI in transit. Prioritize deployment on systems handling laboratory results, imaging, and patient communications — highest harvest-now risk under HIPAA. (partial alignment — verify with compliance team before production deployment)

PCI DSS 4.0.1

Aligns with PCI DSS 4.0.1 post-quantum requirements (2030 deadline). Strong candidate for card-present transaction encryption and cardholder data environments. (partial alignment — verify with compliance team before production deployment)

CNSA 2.0

Meets NSA CNSA 2.0 requirements for national security systems (2030-2033 mandate). Qualified for defense contractor and federal agency deployments.

FIPS 203/204/205

NIST-standardized. Fulfills FIPS compliance requirements for federal systems and regulated financial/healthcare environments.
