Quantum-Safe Discovery
A proven methodology for identifying and quantifying your organisation’s risk from emerging quantum threats
Move beyond theoretical risk to practical exposure
Understanding where specific cryptography resides across your landscape enabling identification of assets that are most likely impacted and where long-term confidentiality is already at risk today.
Clarity on what requires action now and later
Identify systems that demand near-term attention from those that can be addressed as part of normal technology refresh cycles. This includes dependency on hard-to-replace cryptographic components.
Embed quantum-safe into your strategy
Initial consideration to integrate quantum-safe into current programmes or new projects to ensure future investments do not create cryptographic risks that will be costly to remediate in the future.
An Actionable Strategy Report
The output of the Quantum-Safe Discovery service is a structured report that equips your organisation to understand, prioritise, and prepare for the impact of quantum computing on your security posture. The report typically covers:
Assessment of your organisation’s systems or assets’ resilience and cryptographic protection against quantum threats.
The readiness of your organisation’s capability to address quantum related risks.
Assessment of your organisation’s operating model agility to govern the processes of quantum safe migration.
Identification of prioritised set of follow up activities to support your organisation’s transition to a quantum-safe state.
Our Approach to Quantum-Safe Discovery
QSF conducts our Quantum-Safe Discovery service using a structured approach aligned to recognised risk management principles and standards.
1. Kick Off
Alignment on objectives, success criteria, key stakeholders, and confirmation of the delivery plan and milestones.
2. Data Collection
Review of relevant materials combined with structured stakeholder interviews.
3. Analysis
Evaluation of existing IT security controls to identify gaps and weaknesses against emerging quantum computing threats.
4. Report
A final report defining priority risk areas, mitigation recommendations, and a phased timeline for addressing quantum-related threats.
