You have until 2028 to know what cryptography you run.
The same physics that makes quantum computing powerful will break RSA and ECC. Governments have already decided what happens next and published the dates. The first of them — a complete cryptographic inventory and migration plan — is closer than most organisations realise.
2028NCSC PHASE 1
Complete a full discovery and assessment exercise across your estate, and produce an initial migration plan.
The dates are not ours. They are the ones your auditors, insurers and procurement teams will use.
NCSC, Timelines for migration to post-quantum cryptography.
Where most organisations should start
Find your cryptography before you have to explain why you can’t.
Discovery is the slowest phase of any cryptographic migration, and it carries the nearest deadline. UK organisations are expected to have completed a full discovery exercise and drafted a migration plan by 2028. US federal high-value assets must be migrated for key establishment by the end of 2030 and for digital signatures by the end of 2031. CISA and NIST are due to publish the minimum elements of a Cryptographic Bill of Materials in early 2027.
None of that requires a quantum computer. It requires knowing what cryptography you actually run, and in what order to fix it.
Q-Ready Discovery
A complete inventory of the cryptography in your estate — algorithms, key lengths, certificates, libraries, protocols and third-party dependencies — across code, cloud, network and on-premises systems.
You receive
A machine-readable CBOM
A risk matrix ranked by data sensitivity and harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure
A two-page executive summary for the board
Q-Ready Roadmap
A phased, sequenced plan mapped at the same time to NIST IR 8547, EO 14412 and OMB M-26-15, CNSA 2.0 where it applies, and the NCSC 2028 / 2031 / 2035 phases.
You receive
Prioritised migration waves
Dependency and supplier map
The specific mandate and date each finding breaches
Q-Ready Agility
The delivery work after the plan: hybrid TLS, certificate and PKI re-keying, HSM assessment, removing hard-coded algorithms, and PQC policy gates in your CI/CD pipeline.
Why it matters
An inventory without agility is an expensive spreadsheet
This is the part that changes your posture, not just your paperwork

If this is relevant to your organisation, get in touch and we’ll discuss scope, engagement model and pricing.
Our product direction comes out of published, peer-reviewed research in post-quantum cryptography, secure cloud architecture, quantum-AI for industrial systems and clinical machine learning. Every claim we make about the science resolves to a paper you can open.

Cryptographic migration is where most clients start. These three practices are where a first engagement scales into a capability — each governed by the same rule: benchmark it, or don’t claim it.
Decision Intelligence
Quantum-inspired and hybrid optimisation for manufacturing, supply chain and logistics — running on ordinary CPUs and GPUs, with no quantum hardware required. Every engagement is benchmarked against the method you use today and ends with a documented recommendation to scale, improve or stop.
The solver is the easy half. We integrate the winning one into SAP, your MES or your WMS, so the better plan reaches the people who run the line. No quantum hardware required, and none sold.
Applied Research & Co-Innovation
Joint programmes with enterprises, government agencies and academic partners. Feasibility studies, proof-of-concept design, grant-funded research, and co-owned IP with defined licensing pathways.
Active tracks include cryptographic protocol design, quantum-AI for predictive maintenance, and forecasting models for agricultural and weather risk.
Quantum Infrastructure Readiness
Independent evaluation, architecture and integration planning for quantum and quantum-safe infrastructure, including procurement support and vendor assessment.
We evaluate and architect rather than manufacture, which means we can tell you what to buy, whether to buy it yet, and how it would fit the estate you actually run.

Q-Ready Monitor — a continuous view of your cryptographic posture.
We are building a platform that keeps a CBOM current instead of letting it go stale the day it is delivered: automated discovery, crypto-agility scoring per system, and a compliance view that maps every finding to the specific mandate and date it breaches.
In active development, built alongside a small number of organisations we already work with and shaped by their production estates. We will open it more widely once it earns that.

Start with one defined decision.
Cryptographic discovery. A migration roadmap. An optimisation problem with a real baseline. A QKD proposal you want a second opinion on. Tell us which one, and we’ll come back with a bounded scope and named outputs.
We don’t publish prices. If the work is relevant to you, get in touch and we’ll discuss the engagement model and pricing that fit the scope.
