Chief Financial Officer

**Qohash** is reshaping enterprise data security. We're building a next-generation data security platform (DSP) purpose-built for organizations operating at petabyte scale. Our architecture enables real-time visibility and control over sensitive data spread across cloud, on-premise, and endpoint environments - without moving the data.

We serve highly regulated industries where data protection, compliance, and digital sovereignty are non-negotiable. Our approach drives immediate, high-impact outcomes for security and compliance teams.

Unlike legacy solutions that rely on centralized scanning and opaque foreign components, Qohash delivers edge-centric intelligence, granular tracking of sensitive data elements, and a flat-rate pricing model built for clarity and scale. All software is developed, maintained in Canada.
