Quantum Risk Assessment™: Discover Your Organisation's Hidden Post-Quantum Exposure Before It's Too Late
⚠️ You Can't Migrate What You Can't Find.
Before organisations can build a post-quantum migration strategy, they must first understand where they are vulnerable.
The Quantum Risk Assessment™ provides a consulting-grade framework for identifying cryptographic exposure,
assessing Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) risks, prioritising vulnerable systems and measuring migration readiness.
Designed for CISOs, Risk Managers, Security Architects and Cybersecurity Consultants.
What If Your Most Sensitive Data Is Already Being Collected Today?
Not because of ransomware.
Not because of a data breach.
But because adversaries believe they may be able to decrypt it in the future.
This is the reality behind one of the most important cybersecurity threats of the next decade:
⚛️ Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)
Nation-state actors are already believed to be collecting encrypted communications, intellectual property, strategic plans and sensitive information today with the intention of decrypting it once quantum computers become capable of breaking traditional cryptography.
The uncomfortable truth?
Most organisations have no idea where their greatest quantum risks actually exist.
And that's where the problem begins.
The First Question Every Security Leader Must Answer
Before discussing:
✓ Post-Quantum Cryptography
✓ Migration Roadmaps
✓ Quantum-Safe Architectures
✓ Vendor Readiness
✓ Regulatory Compliance
You must first answer:
"Where are we exposed?"
Without visibility, there is no prioritisation.
Without prioritisation, there is no strategy.
Without strategy, there is no successful migration.
That is exactly why the Quantum Risk Assessment™ was created.
Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.
This framework helps organisations identify, assess and prioritise their exposure to quantum-related threats using a structured and repeatable methodology.
Built around recognised guidance including:
✓ NIST IR 8547
✓ NIST SP 800-208
✓ NSA CNSS PQC Advisory Guidance
✓ ISO/IEC 27001 Alignment
This assessment provides a practical starting point for every post-quantum readiness programme.
What You'll Get
This professionally developed assessment framework includes:
Cryptographic Inventory Assessment
Identify where vulnerable cryptographic algorithms are currently being used across your organisation.
Including:
✓ RSA
✓ ECDSA
✓ ECDH
✓ Diffie-Hellman
✓ AES
✓ SHA
✓ Emerging PQC Standards
Algorithm Vulnerability Analysis
Understand which cryptographic technologies require immediate attention and which can remain part of future-state architectures.
System-Level Quantum Risk Register
Assess and prioritise:
✓ PKI Infrastructure
✓ VPN Services
✓ Email Encryption
✓ SSH Access
✓ Code Signing
✓ HSM Deployments
✓ Business Applications
✓ Critical Infrastructure Systems
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) Exposure Analysis
Evaluate which data assets face immediate long-term confidentiality risks.
Including:
✓ Intellectual Property
✓ M&A Documents
✓ Strategic Plans
✓ Legal Communications
✓ Customer Data
✓ Financial Records
✓ Authentication Credentials
Migration Readiness Assessment
Measure organisational preparedness across:
✓ Cryptographic Inventory
✓ Crypto-Agility
✓ Vendor Readiness
✓ PKI Readiness
✓ Budget & Resources
✓ Staff Capability
Executive Reporting Structure
Translate technical findings into business-focused risk discussions suitable for executive leadership and board reporting.
Who Is This For?
Ideal for:
✓ Chief Information Security Officers (CISO)
✓ Security Architects
✓ Enterprise Architects
✓ Risk Managers
✓ Internal Audit Teams
✓ Governance Teams
✓ Cybersecurity Consultants
✓ Virtual CISOs (vCISO)
✓ Government Agencies
✓ Financial Institutions
✓ Critical Infrastructure Operators
✓ Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs)
Why This Matters Now
Most organisations assume quantum computing is still years away.
That may be true.
But Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks are a present-day risk.
The organisations that begin assessing their exposure now will have time to:
✓ Prioritise critical assets
✓ Build migration roadmaps
✓ Improve crypto-agility
✓ Engage technology vendors
✓ Secure executive funding
✓ Reduce long-term risk
The organisations that wait may eventually discover that their most valuable data was exposed years earlier.
What Will This Save You?
Creating a comprehensive quantum risk assessment from scratch can take weeks of research, framework development and stakeholder consultation.
This toolkit gives you a ready-to-use professional assessment structure that can be customised and deployed immediately.
Use it for:
✓ Internal Risk Assessments
✓ Board Reporting
✓ Audit Programmes
✓ Client Engagements
✓ Regulatory Readiness Reviews
✓ Quantum Readiness Initiatives
The Outcome
By using this framework, you will be able to:
✓ Identify hidden cryptographic exposure
✓ Prioritise migration activities
✓ Understand HNDL risks
✓ Measure organisational readiness
✓ Support executive decision-making
✓ Launch a structured quantum readiness programme
