PQC Readiness Lifecycle
Five phases that transform cryptographic uncertainty into manageable risk.
Discover
Map cryptographic assets
Build an evidence-based inventory across applications, infrastructure, and third-party dependencies. Decisions start with facts.
Assess
Evaluate quantum risk
Evaluate each cryptographic dependency against quantum threat models. Identify where risk concentrates and why.
Prioritize
Sequence by criticality
Convert findings into execution order using business impact + exposure. Fix what matters first.
Remediate
Execute migration
Run structured migration campaigns. Coordinate owners and systems. Track progress. Capture audit-ready evidence.
Govern
Maintain compliance
Sustain cryptographic hygiene with continuous discovery, drift detection, and governance workflows. Maintain audit readiness.
Core Frameworks
QScore Model
Impact × Likelihood → Priority
Quantitative risk scoring that translates cryptographic exposure into decision-ready priorities. Compare risk across systems, justify sequencing, track reduction over time.
P0: Immediate | P1: 30 days | P2: 90 days P3: 6 months | P4: Monitor
CBOM-Driven Visibility
