PQC Readiness Assessment

Using the proven CARAF risk framework, Thales deliver evidence-based asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, and prioritised migration roadmaps addressing real-world constraints including regulatory requirements, supply chain dependencies, and certification impacts.
Features
- CARAF risk framework with quantitative scoring using Mosca's Theorem
- Comprehensive cryptographic asset discovery and inventory mapping
- Implementation and trust dependency analysis across entire estate
- Multi-jurisdictional regulatory alignment (NCSC, NIST, EU)
- Quantum-safe algorithm selection with migration approach recommendations
- Certification impact assessment for Common Criteria and FIPS
- Third-party vendor and supply chain dependency mapping
- Crypto agility architecture design for future-proof infrastructure
- Phased migration roadmap with realistic timeline sequencing
- Governance framework with change management and accountability structures
Benefits
