    • Vendor & Supply Chain PQC Vetting

Evaluating Vendor Quantum Preparedness

Vendor & Supply Chain PQC Vetting

We evaluate key technology vendors and supply chain partners to mitigate future cryptographic risk, ensuring your ecosystem can support the mandatory transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
The largest PQC risk for public entities will come from vendor dependencies—software and hardware that cannot support new quantum-resistant algorithms. We immediately solve the problem of vendor reliance by providing a defensible, objective vetting process to ensure your procurement strategy aligns with NIST deadlines and PQC readiness.

Vendor PQC Readiness Audits

Conducting in-depth technical and policy audits of critical vendors to assess their internal roadmap and commitment to adopting NIST-standardized PQC algorithms.

Supply Chain Mapping for Cryptography

Identifying all vendors and software components that utilize cryptography (e.g., VPNs, cloud services, hardware security modules) and mapping their specific exposure to quantum risk.

PQC Contractual Requirements Consulting

Providing executive guidance on updating contract language and service level agreements (SLAs) to hold vendors accountable for their PQC transition deadlines and support.

Procurement Strategy Alignment

Consulting with procurement teams to establish PQC readiness as a mandatory criterion for all future technology purchases, prioritizing vendors with mature PQC plans.

Third-Party Risk Scorecard Design

Designing a specialized vendor risk scorecard that quantifiably measures and tracks the cryptographic risk posed by each external partner over time.

Executive Vendor Risk Briefings

Providing clear, objective reports to City Managers and Boards on vendor-related cryptographic risk, enabling defensible, long-term procurement decisions.

Our Core Philosophy

I.C.S. for Rapid Recovery

Crisis management should be decisive, not distracting. Our I.C.S. (Intuitive Creative Solutions) approach removes chaos and delivers a clear path back to normal operations when you need it most.

Intuitive Containment

We don't waste time with technical gibberish. Our team executes a pre-planned, easy-to-understand containment process immediately, isolating the threat without requiring complex user input or causing further confusion.

Creative Forensics

We go beyond standard logging to employ innovative forensic techniques that swiftly identify the root cause of the breach, ensuring the critical vulnerability is patched immediately—not overlooked in a pile of data.

Solutions: Business Continuity

Our ultimate goal is not just to clean up, but to ensure rapid, guaranteed business continuity. We provide immediate answers and decisive action, minimizing downtime and avoiding the delays caused by lengthy reports.
