Quantum-Safe Security: PQC Migration & Compliance
Securing Your Digital Infrastructure Against the Inevitable Quantum Threat.
The Problem: The "Crypto-Apocalypse"
The Impending Breach: "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later"
The algorithms protecting your data (RSA, ECC) are vulnerable. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer, using Shor's algorithm, will break them. The threat is not just in the future; it's now. Adversaries are actively engaging in 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later' (HNDL), storing your encrypted data today to decrypt it tomorrow (Arxiv, 2025). This makes PQC migration an immediate business continuity and security imperative.
The Solution: The NIST Mandate
A New Cryptographic Standard
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed its multi-year process to standardize a new generation of 'post-quantum' algorithms (like CRYSTALS-Kyber and Dilithium). These are secure against both classical and quantum attacks. Our entire practice is built around a rigorous, phased migration to these new standards.
Our PQC Migration Methodology
1. Discover: What is your 'Quantum Debt'?
PQC Risk Assessment & Inventory
You cannot protect what you don't know you have. Most enterprises have dangerously low visibility into their 'cryptographic inventory.' Our first step is a comprehensive, automated and manual audit of your entire software stack—from applications and networks to embedded systems—to identify every instance of vulnerable public-key cryptography. This assessment forms the basis of your migration plan.
2. Strategize: From 'Crypto-Brittle' to 'Crypto-Agile'
Crypto-Agility Roadmap
Many legacy systems are 'crypto-brittle'—the algorithms are hard-coded, making them impossible to swap easily. We provide a strategic roadmap, based on NIST's 2021 guidance, to refactor your systems for 'crypto-agility.' This ensures that this migration is your last one, allowing you to easily update algorithms as the landscape evolves.
3. Execute: A Phased, Low-Risk Rollout
PQC Migration & Implementation
This is our core technical service. Migrating to new PQC algorithms is not a simple 'find and replace.' The new algorithms have different properties, like larger key sizes, that can break existing protocols and impact hardware performance (Carroll et al., 2024). We manage the entire phased rollout, from development and sandboxing to rigorous testing and full production deployment, ensuring zero disruption to your business.
4. Validate: Achieve Demonstrable Compliance
Compliance & Governance
As quantum attacks become feasible, regulators, insurers, and partners will demand proof of PQC compliance. We help you build the governance framework and documentation to prove your migration is complete and correct. This turns your security upgrade into a verifiable competitive asset.
