Security as a first-class concern.

LENS engineers, audits and ships under STQC, CERT-In, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II - with OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK and ONVIF S/G/T/M baked in. Our products are zero-trust by default, edge-native, and crypto-agile for the post-quantum era. LENS Shield extends the same posture to your stack.

How we secure LENS

Three layers, continuously audited.

Compliance is the floor - not the ceiling. We test against MITRE ATT&CK, run OWASP-graded fuzz suites on every release, and publish what we find. Every customer can request the latest report.

01 · Identity & access

Zero-trust, by default.

Every service-to-service call is mTLS-authenticated. Every operator action is signed and logged. No implicit trust at the network boundary.

  • SSO · SAML 2.0 + OIDC
  • SCIM provisioning
  • Hardware-key MFA enforced
  • Just-in-time elevation
02 · Data & cryptography

Crypto-agile, PQC-ready.

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, hybrid PQC-classical key exchange available now. Algorithms are swappable without redesigning the platform.

  • Kyber-1024 (KEM)
  • Dilithium-3 (signatures)
  • SPHINCS+-256 (hash-based)
  • FIPS 140-3 validated modules
03 · Audit & observability

Every action, immutable.

Blockchain-anchored audit trails for sensitive operations: evidence-grade chain of custody for forensics, court submissions and regulatory requests.

  • Tamper-evident logs
  • SIEM-native exports
  • STIX/TAXII threat intel
  • SOAR-ready webhooks
04 · Software supply chain

Signed at every step.

SBOMs published per release. Container images signed with Sigstore. Build provenance via SLSA Level 3. Dependency scanning on every commit.

  • SBOM · CycloneDX
  • SLSA L3 provenance
  • Sigstore signed images
  • Renovate + Snyk + Dependabot
05 · Edge & deployment

On-prem when it must be.

Air-gapped deployments supported for defence, healthcare and critical infrastructure. Models run locally; only telemetry leaves the perimeter, and only when allowed.

  • Air-gap installers
  • Sovereign cloud regions
  • BYOK / HSM integration
  • Hardened OS images
06 · Continuous adversarial testing

Red-team, always-on.

External penetration tests quarterly. Internal red-team + purple-team running continuously against the latest builds. Public bug bounty since 2023.

  • CERT-In VAPT · annual
  • NCC Group · bi-annual
  • Internal red team · weekly
  • Bug bounty · HackerOne

Post-quantum cryptography · ready today

The quantum era won’t wait.
Neither do we.

“Harvest now, decrypt later” is a real threat. Sensitive surveillance footage, biometric templates and audit trails captured today must remain confidential when fault-tolerant quantum hardware arrives. LENS ships with NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms in production now - with crypto-agility to swap them as the standards evolve.

NIST-standardized algorithms in LENS
Kyber-1024 Lattice-based key encapsulation. Hybrid with X25519 for transport. FIPS 203
Dilithium-3 Lattice-based signatures. Module signing, audit trail anchoring. FIPS 204
SPHINCS+-256 Hash-based stateless signatures. Long-term archival integrity. FIPS 205
AES-256-GCM Symmetric encryption. Quantum-resistant at 256 bits. FIPS 197
01
Hybrid by default.

Classical + PQC ciphers run side-by-side. If either family is broken tomorrow, the other still protects the channel.

02
No quantum hardware required.

All PQC algorithms run on classical CPUs, including edge devices already in the field. Software upgrade path, not a forklift.

03
Crypto-agile architecture.

Algorithms are configuration, not code. Swap, upgrade or rotate without redeploying the platform.

04
Quantum-safe chain-of-custody.

Evidence captured today - surveillance footage, biometric matches, command logs - remains tamper-evident in 2040 and beyond.

LENS Shield · Posture-as-a-service

The same posture, extended to your stack.

For governments, critical infrastructure operators and regulated enterprises that need to harden their existing systems - not replace them. Audit, uplift, and migrate, with the same engineers who built LENS.

Tier 01

Audit & gap report

Two-week structured engagement. We map your stack against ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF and your sector regulator, then produce a prioritised remediation roadmap.

  • Architecture review
  • VAPT (CERT-In methodology)
  • SBOM & supply-chain audit
  • Threat-model workshop
  • Board-ready gap report
Start an audit
Tier 02 · Most common

Harden & uplift

Eight-to-twelve-week engagement. We embed engineers into your team to ship the fixes: zero-trust rollout, observability uplift, identity hardening, secure-by-design refactors.

  • Everything in Tier 01
  • Embedded engineering pod
  • Identity/SSO/SCIM rollout
  • SIEM + SOAR integration
  • Runbooks & tabletop drills
  • 30-day post-engagement support
Start a hardening
Tier 03

PQC migration

For organisations where data has to remain confidential for decades. We migrate cryptographic primitives, key management and certificate issuance to post-quantum standards, in stages, with rollback at every step.

  • Crypto-inventory of your stack
  • Hybrid PQC pilot deployment
  • Certificate-issuance migration
  • HSM & KMS modernisation
  • Long-tail rotation plan

Where Shield is engaged today

Engineers who’ve shipped at scale.

LENS Shield draws on the same team that runs production for national-scale public safety, biometric systems and steel-floor analytics. We don&rsquo;t outsource. We don&rsquo;t resell. We do the work.

Government

Sovereign deployments

Police, smart-city, defence procurements with STQC and CERT-In as the audit floor. Air-gapped where required.

Critical infrastructure

Steel, energy, ports

OT/IT segmentation. ICS-aware monitoring. Zero-trust rollout for plant-floor networks already in production.

Regulated enterprise

Banking & healthcare

HIPAA, DPDPA, PCI-DSS readiness. PQC migration roadmaps for institutions on multi-decade data-retention obligations.

Civic tech

Identity & benefits

Hardening identity stacks where the threat model includes nation-state adversaries. Biometric template protection.

Reference material

Read the small print - we publish it.

Security disclosures, sub-processors, vulnerability-reporting protocol and our latest audit attestations are public. Trust starts with paper trails.
