Approach
A Six-Step Engagement
From kickoff to crypto-agility, every engagement follows a structured path to a quantum-resilient environment.
Project Kickoff
Start With Alignment
Align on objectives, project scope, stakeholder roles, and timelines, so the engagement is built around your priorities from day one.
Cryptographic Discovery
See Every Cryptographic Asset
Analyze encryption, key management, and crypto assets across your environment, scanning to discover quantum-vulnerable assets including digital certificates, algorithms, protocols, and keys. The result is a comprehensive inventory, with data and crypto assets classified by sensitivity.
Risk Assessment
Know What Is Most Exposed
Identify vulnerabilities and gaps in operational cryptographic governance, and assess the quantum risk posed to each asset in your inventory. Remediation is prioritized by which assets are most critical to business operations and most exposed to quantum risk.
Strategy and Roadmap
Turn Risk Into a Plan
Build a quantum-resilient strategy tailored to business objectives, with risk mitigation approaches such as hybrid cryptography that weigh timelines, budget, and resources. A phased, actionable roadmap follows, with prioritized use cases, resource planning, and strategies for enterprise-wide migration.
Proof of Concept
Test Before You Roll Out
Pilot quantum-resistant algorithms and test real-world performance against quantum attack vectors before enterprise rollout. Issues are resolved and lessons learned are fed back into the overall implementation strategy.
Implementation and Agility
Migrate and Stay Agile
Plan the integration of quantum-safe cryptography with minimal disruption, then ensure NIST standards compliance and future-proof your infrastructure with crypto-agile frameworks, so algorithms can be swapped as standards evolve.
Outcomes

More urgent than most organizations realize. Harvest now, decrypt later attacks mean adversaries are already collecting encrypted data today, storing it until quantum computers are capable of breaking current encryption. This means sensitive data being transmitted right now could be at risk in the future, regardless of when quantum computers become widely accessible. Early preparation is not just advisable, it is a strategic imperative.
The service is designed to meet organizations exactly where they are. The engagement begins with a comprehensive cryptographic discovery and assessment phase that gives you a clear, accurate picture of your current exposure. From there, a tailored roadmap is developed that prioritizes the most critical areas first, making the transition manageable regardless of your starting point.
Crypto agility is the ability to swap cryptographic algorithms quickly and efficiently without requiring a complete system overhaul. It is one of the most important capabilities an organization can build ahead of the post-quantum transition. Without it, migrating to new algorithms becomes a lengthy, disruptive, and costly process. Post Quantum Cryptographic Services helps organizations build crypto-agile architectures that can adapt as standards evolve and new threats emerge.
The entire advisory approach is grounded in NIST PQC guidance and finalized algorithm standards including ML-KEM for key encapsulation and ML-DSA and SLH-DSA for digital signatures. From the initial assessment to roadmap development and implementation, every recommendation is aligned to ensure your organization meets current and forthcoming regulatory expectations, including preparing for compliance with emerging PQC mandates across industries.
PKI is one of the highest-risk areas in a post-quantum threat environment, as quantum attacks could compromise the chain of trust underpinning digital certificates, secure communications, and online transactions. The service specifically addresses PKI resilience by helping organizations build crypto-agile PKI architectures, redesign key management processes, and migrate certificate infrastructure to quantum-resistant standards in a structured, phased manner.
PQC migration is not a single event. It is a phased program that, for most enterprises, unfolds over 12 to 36 months depending on the size, complexity, and cryptographic maturity of your environment. Organizations with larger, more distributed infrastructures or those subject to stricter regulatory requirements may require additional time to complete a thorough, well-governed transition. Post Quantum Cryptographic Services supports you throughout the entire journey, from initial assessment and strategy through pilot testing, implementation, and ongoing governance. The phased roadmap ensures progress is made in a controlled, prioritized manner without overwhelming your internal teams or disrupting business operations.
