QuantaViable gets early access to Sertainty Kit 5.0 with FIPS 140-3 cryptography

QuantaViable is the first company to build on Sertainty application development kit 5.0, which embeds a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module into self-protecting data technology. The move is aimed at mortgage, banking and other regulated markets that need stronger chain-of-custody controls for sensitive data.

Why it matters: - QuantaViable is targeting regulated industries that need to prove where sensitive data goes and who can access it. - Sertainty’s file-level model removes dependence on network perimeters, external servers and centralized key management. - The release pairs self-protecting data with FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, a requirement for federal agencies and a common expectation in regulated markets.

What happened: - Sertainty granted QuantaViable advance access to application development kit 5.0. - QuantaViable asked for the release and helped shape it around customer needs. - QuantaViable is the first company to build on the new release. - The announcement was made Nov. 3, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee.

The details: - Sertainty’s technology embeds authentication, encryption and policy enforcement directly into individual data files. - Each file controls its own access and carries its own audit record. - The design preserves a verifiable chain of custody for data. - The kit runs on a cryptographic module validated under FIPS 140-3 by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program. - The release implements wolfCrypt, a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module supplied by wolfSSL. - Sertainty provides the self-protecting data architecture that applies that cryptography at the file level. - QuantaViable serves mortgage and loan originators, banks and operators that must prove chain of custody for the data they move. - Scott L. Nelson, founder and chairman of QuantaViable and Brentwood Ventures, said the two companies are combining persistent protection with data-level zero-trust architecture to deliver more trust and control for the enterprise. - Sertainty says more than 20 patents across nine countries protect the methods behind its technology. - Those patents cover embedding authentication and access control inside a file and managing encryption keys without external servers. - Sertainty says years of research support what QuantaViable is putting into production.

Between the lines: - QuantaViable is positioning the platform for markets that cannot rely on perimeter security alone. - The early access deal suggests Sertainty sees QuantaViable as a launch partner for production use cases, not just a test customer. - The FIPS 140-3 angle gives the technology a compliance story that matters for federal and heavily regulated buyers.

What's next: - QuantaViable will show regulated markets what self-protecting data can do compared with perimeter-based approaches, according to Dan Fischer, senior executive vice president of alignment and innovation at Sertainty. - The companies are moving the release into scaled production workflows. - QuantaViable’s next step is likely customer deployment in mortgage, banking and other regulated data flows.

The bottom line: - QuantaViable is turning Sertainty’s self-protecting data platform into a compliance-ready product play for high-regulation industries.
