Quantum Readiness Assessment

Measure your organization's readiness to identify, prioritize, and migrate quantum-vulnerable cryptography — then see how QuantumGuard can help close the gaps.

Score each statement from 0 to 3. This is a planning and prioritization tool, not a compliance certification or a substitute for a technical cryptographic review. Your answers stay in your browser until you choose to export or email them.

Governance & ownership

Accountability, policy, executive sponsorship, and funding.

0 / 12

1. A named executive sponsor and accountable program owner oversee quantum/PQC readiness.

Ownership covers security, IT, architecture, procurement, legal, and business risk.

2. Quantum-related cryptographic risk is incorporated into enterprise risk management.

Risk acceptance criteria, reporting, and escalation paths are documented.

3. The organization has an approved PQC or quantum-readiness strategy.

The strategy defines scope, milestones, budget assumptions, and review cadence.

4. Security and architecture standards include crypto-agility requirements.

New systems must support managed algorithm, key, and certificate changes.

Cryptographic discovery

Visibility of algorithms, keys, protocols, assets, and dependencies.

0 / 12

1. We maintain an inventory of cryptography used across applications, infrastructure, cloud, and endpoints.

It identifies algorithms, protocols, libraries, keys/certificates, and technical owners.

2. The inventory includes public-key cryptography exposed to quantum risk.

Examples include RSA, ECC, Diffie-Hellman, ECDH, ECDSA, and related dependencies.

3. Discovery covers both IT and operational technology (OT), where applicable.

Include firmware, embedded devices, network equipment, and software-update mechanisms.

4. The inventory is automated or routinely refreshed.

Changes in certificates, TLS, code dependencies, and new systems are detectable.

Risk & prioritization

Long-lived data, business criticality, exposure, and migration complexity.

0 / 12

1. We classify data by sensitivity and required confidentiality lifetime.

This identifies data susceptible to 'harvest now, decrypt later' risk.

2. We link cryptographic dependencies to business-critical systems and data flows.

Each priority asset has a business owner and impact assessment.

3. We use a documented method to rank quantum migration priorities.

The method considers sensitivity, retention, exposure, criticality, and migration effort.

4. We maintain a quantum-risk register with owners, treatment plans, and target dates.

Risks are tracked through normal governance rather than as an isolated technical list.

Crypto-agility & architecture

Ability to update algorithms and validate PQC-compatible designs.

0 / 12

1. Algorithms, cryptographic libraries, and key parameters can be changed without major application redesign.

Cryptography is centrally managed or abstracted rather than hard-coded.

2. We can inventory, rotate, revoke, and replace certificates and keys at scale.

PKI, HSM/KMS, secrets management, and certificate-lifecycle processes are integrated.

3. We test PQC-capable or hybrid cryptographic configurations in non-production environments.

Testing measures interoperability, latency, packet size, performance, and operational impact.

4. Architecture and engineering teams track PQC standards and product support.

Standards decisions are documented and updated as vendor and protocol support matures.

Vendors & migration execution

Third parties, procurement, pilots, transition plans, and measurement.

0 / 12

1. Critical vendors and service providers have been assessed for PQC readiness.

This includes cloud, SaaS, PKI, network, security, OT, and managed-service providers.

2. Procurement and contracts request vendor cryptographic transparency and PQC roadmaps.

Requirements cover supported algorithms, upgrade paths, timelines, and interoperability.

3. We have a phased migration roadmap for high-priority systems.

The roadmap includes pilots, funding, sequencing, rollback plans, and dependency management.

4. We track measurable readiness indicators and report them to leadership.

Examples: inventory coverage, vulnerable assets prioritized, vendor responses, and pilots completed.
