// Security dossier·Read-only·Metadata only·UK hosted

Designed to earn access to sensitive telemetry.

Qestrel uses narrow, read-only connections to collect cryptographic metadata. Private keys, secrets and plaintext remain in your systems.

Core controls

Least privilege by design.

Metadata only

No keys or plaintext

Qestrel processes algorithms, certificates, configurations and related inventory metadata, not private keys or customer plaintext.

Read only

Narrow API scopes

Integrations use the smallest read-only permissions needed and cannot alter or delete connected systems.

Revocable

Controlled credentials

Connection credentials are encrypted, scoped per connection and revocable at any time, with activity available for review.

No agents

Nothing deployed to endpoints

API-based connections avoid adding endpoint software or an unnecessary operational footprint.

How data flows

From your tools to your report, and nothing more.

01 / CONNECT

Read-only connection

You grant Qestrel the narrowest read-only API scope that does the job. No agents, no inbound access to your network.

02 / COLLECT

Metadata only

Qestrel reads cryptographic metadata: algorithms, certificates, configurations. Keys, secrets and plaintext never leave your systems.

03 / STORE

Held in the UK

Inventory data is stored and processed in the United Kingdom, and access can be revoked by you at any time.

Assurance

Prepared for enterprise review.

Security review

The materials your procurement team will ask for.

Request the security pack and we can share the documentation assurance teams need before any production connection is approved:

  • Read-only scope matrix
  • Data processing summary
  • Architecture overview
  • Audit logging model
  • Credential handling notes
  • Security pack on request
