33 / Cryptography & post-quantum readiness
Know what your cryptography depends on.
Inventory cryptographic dependencies and plan changes around data lifetime, interoperability, and vendor readiness.
Discuss your requirementsSpecialist delivery and availability are confirmed during scoping.
Crypto readiness
A clear scope.
A useful outcome.
Locate the certificates, protocols, libraries, keys, and embedded dependencies that protect important services. Identify where long-lived information or difficult upgrades justify earlier planning. Develop a migration sequence and bounded validation work with appropriately qualified specialists rather than promising a universal conversion date.
What we cover
- Cryptographic assets, owners, and dependencies
- Certificate lifecycle and key-management practices
- Post-quantum exposure and crypto-agility assessment
- Vendor roadmaps, interoperability, and pilot planning
What you take away
- Cryptographic inventory with discovery limitations
- Prioritized exposure and dependency register
- Migration roadmap and vendor questions
- Specialist pilot scope and acceptance criteria
How to engage
Discovery and readiness assessment, followed by separately scoped specialist validation.
What progress looks like
Critical dependencies identified, accountable owners assigned, and migration blockers understood.
The final scope, deliverables, and timing are agreed for your engagement.
Assess
Agree the scope and examine the controls, configurations, and exposures that matter.
Prioritize
Translate findings into clear actions, accountable owners, and realistic next steps.
Improve
Support remediation, review the evidence, and keep the programme moving forward.
