Quantum security & readiness
2026 is the quantum security inflection point
CNSA 2.0 compliance is mandatory by 2030. Harvest-now-decrypt-later is an active threat today. Map your cryptographic inventory, prioritize HNDL risk, and build a PQC migration roadmap before regulators and adversaries force a rip-and-replace.
Why readiness cannot wait
NIST PQC standards
Finalized 2024 · FIPS 203/204/205
EU AI Act high-risk systems
Compliance from Dec 2, 2026
CNSA 2.0 PQC mandate
Mandatory phase-out by 2030
HNDL threat window
Active today, harvest now, decrypt later
The threat
Harvest now, decrypt later
Adversaries capture encrypted traffic today to decrypt once quantum-capable systems arrive. Organizations with long confidentiality horizons, finance, healthcare, government, need inventories and migration plans now, not in 2029.
Readiness
Crypto inventory, PQC roadmap, and crypto-agile cutovers, before the deadline.
Delay
Harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure, legacy algorithms, and compliance gaps that compound until rip-and-replace is the only option.
- Financial services & payment networks
- Healthcare records & genomic data
- Government & defense communications
- Critical infrastructure operators
- Long-retention legal & IP archives
Quantum Readiness Assessment · 3-week sprint
Investment: $35K–$50K. Assessment-led delivery through Quantum Bridge and Protocol-X integration paths.
Cryptographic inventory
Map algorithms, key lengths, and data classifications across systems-of-record, APIs, and long-lived archives.
HNDL risk assessment
Identify payloads exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later adversaries and prioritize by confidentiality horizon.
PQC migration roadmap
Phased cutover plan aligned to CNSA 2.0 and sector regulators, crypto-agile envelopes, not rip-and-replace.
Implementation guide
NIST FIPS 203/204/205 mapping, Quantum Bridge integration paths, and executive reporting templates.
Representative outcome
Financial services
200+ legacy systems with mixed cryptography and no centralized inventory · 12-week board mandate for compliance roadmap
Prioritized critical systems for PQC cutover, avoided rip-and-replace, and estimated significant cost avoidance vs. full-stack replacement.
Representative outcome from a financial services engagement. Detailed metrics and client references available under NDA for qualified prospects.
