PQC Agility for the New Era
A platform for cryptographic discovery, inventory, scoring, and planning — securing organizations' assets and preparing them for the post-quantum era.
01 — Problem Statement
NIST finalized FIPS 203, 204, and 205 in August 2024 — triggering the largest mandated cryptographic migration in history. NSA's CNSA 2.0 requires all new national security systems to be quantum-safe by January 2027, with full legacy migration by 2035. The EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan have all set parallel binding milestones. Defense contractors, regulated industries, and their entire supply chains are now in scope.
The "harvest now, decrypt later" (HNDL) threat means adversaries are already capturing encrypted traffic today, to decrypt it once a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer (CRQC) exists. Data with long confidentiality requirements — health records, financial data, government communications, IP — is already at risk. Google warned in March 2026 that a CRQC capable of breaking RSA-2048 could arrive as early as 2029, years ahead of most compliance deadlines.

The Discovery Gap Is The Bottleneck
According to CISA/NSA joint guidance, organizations must establish a complete cryptographic inventory before migration can begin. Most enterprises have no tooling to do this — manual audits take years and miss runtime behavior entirely. Kubernetes, multi-cloud secrets, and containerized microservices have made the problem orders of magnitude harder.
02 — Product Overview
The platform deploys a lightweight container/agent into a customer's environment and delivers continuous cryptographic posture management — from discovery through compliance scoring to AI-guided migration planning. This is paired with a cloud or on-premise dashboard for orchestration and compliance.
Continuously catalog certificates, keys, and cryptographic libraries across code repositories, config files, and secrets managers.
Lightweight agents observe live TLS handshakes, cipher suites, and algorithm usage across containers and services.
Automatically correlate every discovered key and certificate to the applications, services, and data flows that depend on it.
Attribute every cryptographic asset to a responsible team or system owner by tying discovery data into existing identity infrastructure.
Score every asset against NIST FIPS 203/204/205 and CNSA 2.0 readiness benchmarks, producing a clear, auditable compliance rating.
Generate prioritized, risk-ranked migration roadmaps with AI-recommended sequencing, so teams always know what to fix first.
03 — Global Regulatory Timeline
Dec 31, 2030 (Key Est.) / Dec 31, 2031 (Sig.)
EO 14412 + OMB M-26-15: Migration leads by Jul 2026, full plan by Oct 2026. FIPS 140-2 modules sunset Sept 21, 2026.
Jan 1, 2027 (New) / 2035 (Full)
CNSA 2.0: New acquisitions PQC-compliant by Jan 2027. DoD: systems support PQC by end of 2030, in use by 2031.
Jan 1, 2027 (Announced)
EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) recommends PQC-ready cryptography by 2027 for critical infrastructure.
Aligned with EU / 2027
GCHQ + National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) aligned with NIST timeline and EU directives.
2027–2030 (Various)
Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) and Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) mirroring US/EU deadlines.
By 2030
Algorithms providing 112-bit security, including RSA-2048 and ECC P-256, are designated for deprecation. These algorithms are no longer suitable for new deployments, though existing systems may continue operating during migration.
By 2035
Quantum-vulnerable algorithms are expected to be fully phased out. Federal systems conforming to NIST and FIPS guidelines are expected to operate exclusively on post-quantum cryptographic standards, in line with National Security Memorandum 10.
