QUANTASEAL
Thales CipherTrust Manager is the world-leading HSM and key management platform - but it was built to protect keys in hardware, not to encrypt the data flows between your Salesforce, SAP, Kafka, and cloud systems. QuantaSeal is the middleware layer that operates at the application layer, where your data actually moves.
Try QuantaSeal FreeCipherTrust protects keys inside HSM hardware. QuantaSeal encrypts the actual payloads moving between your applications - the gap Thales doesn't cover.
Luna HSM deployments require procurement, racking, and professional services. QuantaSeal self-serves from $69/month with no hardware.
Thales manages your master keys; QuantaSeal encrypts what those keys protect. Used together, you have hardware-grade key custody and application-layer PQC.
Post-quantum algorithms (ML-KEM-768 / ML-DSA-65)
CipherTrust Data Security Platform supports PQC key storage; does not encrypt application data flows end-to-end with NIST FIPS 203/204
NIST FIPS 203 / 204 / 205 production-ready hybrid envelope
QuantaSeal ships ML-KEM-768 + AES-256-GCM hybrid envelopes in production today; Thales hardware uses classical key storage
Encryption proxy for application-to-application data flows
Thales manages keys inside HSMs; QuantaSeal encrypts the payloads flowing between Salesforce, SAP, Kafka, and 40+ other systems
Hardware Security Module (FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified)
Thales Luna HSMs are FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware certified - the gold standard for regulated industries. QuantaSeal uses AWS KMS (FIPS 140-2 Level 2) + software PQC layer.
Cryptographic agility - zero-downtime algorithm migration
QuantaSeal re-encrypts vault entries in the background while live; CipherTrust requires scheduled maintenance windows for key migration
Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Workday encryption proxy
Thales protects keys at rest in HSMs; QuantaSeal wraps every API call between your applications with PQC
40+ connectors across CRM, ERP, messaging, identity
Thales CipherTrust has no application integration connectors - it is a key management platform, not a middleware proxy
Managed Salesforce package (AppExchange-ready)
No Thales product exists on Salesforce AppExchange. QuantaSeal installs as a native managed package for 150k+ Salesforce orgs.
Bidirectional proxy (inbound + outbound encryption)
QuantaSeal proxies both inbound webhooks and outbound API calls; Thales only manages the keys, not the traffic
SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS compliance reports
Thales has enterprise certifications; QuantaSeal auto-generates signed compliance PDFs from live audit logs
APRA CPS 234 alignment (Australian financial services)
Built specifically for Australian data residency requirements with ap-southeast-2 data sovereignty
Cryptographically chained audit log (ML-DSA-65 signed)
QuantaSeal's SHA3-256 hash chain with ML-DSA-65 signatures is tamper-evident; Thales audit logs are not PQC-signed
CBOM Scanner - cryptographic bill of materials per integration
QuantaSeal generates a live CBOM for every connected integration; Thales has no equivalent application-layer discovery
Self-serve - live in 30 minutes with no hardware
Thales Luna HSM deployments take weeks and cost $50k–$500k in hardware. QuantaSeal self-serves from $69/month.
Free developer tier
Thales has no free tier. QuantaSeal offers 50k transactions and 3 integrations free.
Quanta Copilot - AI-powered security assistant
Natural-language access to vault, compliance queries, and CBOM analysis - not available in CipherTrust
On-premises / private cloud deployment
Both support on-prem. Thales via Luna hardware; QuantaSeal via Helm chart or Docker Compose on any server.
MPC split-key custody (staff cannot access customer data)
QuantaSeal uses XOR threshold key splitting so no single party (including QuantaSeal staff) can decrypt tenant data; Thales relies on HSM admin quorum
Information based on publicly available documentation. Last updated May 2026.
QuantaSeal integrates with your existing Thales Luna CMKs - wrapping the application data flows that HSMs were never designed to protect.
