Qohash is a Canadian data security software company, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Quebec City. The company was established after its founder, Jean Le Bouthillier - a former military helicopter pilot - identified a growing blind spot in enterprise security: as workforces became distributed and cloud adoption accelerated, traditional on-premises tools were losing track of where sensitive data actually lived. Qohash has since expanded into the U.S. market and serves financial institutions alongside other organizations that handle sensitive data at scale.
The company's core product, Qostodian, is a data security platform built for modern, distributed environments. It gives organizations continuous visibility over high-risk files, helps reduce oversharing, and monitors security posture on an ongoing basis. The platform also supports the adoption of generative AI by helping enterprises understand and govern the sensitive data that underpins those workflows.
Qohash's technical work spans data security, cloud security, data visibility and governance, and security posture monitoring. Its stated focus is giving enterprises meaningful control over sensitive data - not just at a point in time, but continuously as data moves across cloud-based and distributed infrastructure.
