Your data is already being stolen for a computer that doesn’t exist yet.
It’s the patient attack. Copy encrypted traffic today, store it, wait. When a quantum computer can finally break the maths underneath it, every secret you sent becomes readable, retroactively. Anything that must stay private for a decade is already in play.
You’re already on the clock.
In August 2024, NIST published the first finished replacements for the encryption quantum will break: new standards with names like ML-KEM and ML-DSA. That’s the starting gun, not the finish line. National-security systems are now on a transition that runs through the early 2030s, and everyone else is behind them. Migrating cryptography across a real organisation takes years. The harvesting is happening during those years.
Find what breaks. Prove the fix holds.
Find the crypto that breaks
You can’t migrate what you can’t see. We map where quantum-vulnerable public-key cryptography actually lives: TLS, VPNs, SSH, code-signing, PKI, and the third parties you inherit it from. Building that inventory is the first step every official roadmap names.
Find what’s worth harvesting
Not all data has a ten-year shelf life. We identify the long-lived secrets and high-value flows whose confidentiality has to outlast the day the maths breaks, so the work is driven by real harvest-now risk, not a vendor’s urgency.
Prove the fix actually holds
Swapping in a new algorithm isn’t the same as deploying it correctly. We adversarially test the migration: that it can’t be forced to fall back to the old, breakable crypto, and that the new standards are wired in end to end.
We don’t sell a quantum computer, and we can’t break these standards for you. Nobody can yet. What we do is the offensive, practical half: discover, prioritise, and pressure-test, mapped to the migration the standards bodies have already written.
Know your exposure before the maths changes.
A cryptographic inventory is the cheapest move you can make this year, and the one every roadmap starts with. We’ll help you build it, then tell you honestly how much of this is urgent for you and how much can wait.
