Some information must stay confidential for years, while discovering cryptography, aligning suppliers and changing critical systems takes time. Potential harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure makes data lifetime part of the decision. Starting with evidence and a phased plan does not require predicting a quantum-computing deadline.

You can’t protect what you can’t see.
Cryptography underpins your most important systems. Yet its location, dependencies and vulnerabilities often remain invisible. The first step towards quantum readiness isn’t another algorithm. It’s a clearer picture.

07 /A FEW CLEARER ANSWERS
The questions boards
and CISOs ask us first.
Short answers to the questions that come up in every first conversation. For your own environment, let’s make it specific.
Book a readiness briefingA cryptographic inventory connects algorithms, keys, certificates, protocols and implementations to the assets, services and data they protect. It is the evidence base for understanding exposure, ownership and dependencies. Quantum Moat builds a Cryptographic Bill of Materials across perimeter, network, cloud and code so planning starts with what is actually in use.
Explore Quantum MoatThat depends on your jurisdictions, sector, systems and contractual obligations. Binding requirements, published standards and advisory transition guidance are not interchangeable. Our regulations explorer identifies the type and scope of selected official sources; your legal and compliance teams should confirm what applies to your organisation.
Explore the regulatory landscapeThere is no responsible one-size-fits-all timetable. Scope, legacy technology, data lifetime, supplier support and operational constraints all affect the programme. A discovery baseline and risk assessment inform a sequenced roadmap, followed by pilots, validation and migration waves with clear owners and assurance gates.
See how we shape the roadmapCrypto agility is the ability to change cryptographic choices in a controlled, repeatable way as standards, threats and business needs evolve. It combines current inventory, accountable governance, tested integration patterns and operational change processes. It is an ongoing capability—not simply deploying a new algorithm once.
Build a lasting operating capabilityCertificate management typically concentrates on certificate lifecycle; general vulnerability scanning looks for a broad range of weaknesses. QUAMO focuses on cryptographic posture: connecting discovery and C-BOM evidence with dependencies, quantum exposure and migration priorities. It complements existing controls rather than making every security tool redundant.
Understand the platformNot necessarily. Some changes may be delivered through software, configuration or supported vendor upgrades; other systems may require deeper engineering. Discovery establishes the dependencies. Pilots then test appropriate options, interoperability, performance and rollback before decisions about broader replacement are made.
Explore controlled migrationQuantum assurance brings structured review and validation to the evidence behind a quantum-readiness programme, including inventory quality, dependencies, implementation choices and migration outcomes. It makes assumptions and limitations visible. It should not be confused with an automatic certification or a blanket guarantee of future security.
Discuss your assurance needsBegin with a conversation about your environment, long-lived information, business priorities and existing obligations. We can agree a sensible scope for authorised discovery or assessment, identify what is already known and shape the next evidence-led step. The short readiness self-assessment can help prepare that conversation.
