General Platform Questions

QCSS is an all-in-one enterprise cybersecurity solution that combines agentless scanning, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and compliance reporting into a single unified platform. It simplifies security operations for teams of any size, providing complete visibility into your attack surface without the overhead of traditional agent-based approaches.
QCSS is built for security teams, DevSecOps engineers, and IT administrators in mid-to-large enterprises. It scales from small security teams needing automated coverage to large organizations requiring deep integrations, custom workflows, and compliance reporting for regulators and auditors.

Agentless Scanning

QCSS agentless scanning leverages cloud-native APIs and read-only snapshots to inspect your workloads without deploying any software to target hosts. For cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), it uses provider APIs to enumerate resources and assess configurations. For on-premise assets, it uses network-based probing. No reboots, no agents, and no performance impact on your workloads.

Vulnerability Management

The QCSS vulnerability database is updated continuously, typically every few hours, drawing from NVD, vendor advisories, threat intelligence feeds, and our own research team. Critical zero-day disclosures are prioritized and reflected in detection logic within hours of public disclosure.

Penetration Testing

QCSS offers both. The automated engine continuously runs safe exploitation simulations to validate whether vulnerabilities are actually exploitable. For compliance mandates or deeper assessments, you can schedule engagements with our certified pen test team, who operate as an extension of your security function.

Data Handling, Access & Logging

By default, scan data and results are stored in SOC 2 Type II certified cloud infrastructure in the US (AWS us-east-1). Enterprise customers can opt for EU data residency (Frankfurt) or request private cloud deployment within their own VPC. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3).

Deployment, Integration & Scale

QCSS integrates with Jira, ServiceNow, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, PagerDuty, Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, and all major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP). A REST API and Terraform provider are available for custom integrations and infrastructure-as-code workflows.

Reporting, Remediation & Compliance

Yes. QCSS includes one-click audit reports pre-mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CIS Benchmarks, and NIST CSF. Reports export as PDF or CSV, or push directly to GRC platforms. Scheduled delivery to stakeholders and auditors is also supported.

Data Security & Privacy

Yes. QCSS has completed SOC 2 Type II audits covering Security, Availability, and Confidentiality trust service criteria. Our latest audit report is available under NDA upon request. We also hold ISO 27001 certification and undergo annual third-party penetration testing.
