Quantum Cyber Risk Bundle
Cyber Risk Self-Assessment + Playbook
Q Day isn't a date on a calendar, it's the moment your cryptographic inventory becomes someone else's incident report. NIST has finalized the FIPS 203/204/205 standards and set the clock: deprecate by 2030, disallow by 2035, while adversaries harvest today's encrypted data to decrypt later. This bundle pairs the assessment that tells you where you stand with the reference that keeps your team current as you act on it.
What's Included
-
Quantum Cyber Risk Readiness Assessment: A one time evaluation of your cryptographic inventory, PQC readiness, and third party exposure, delivered as a current state rating, prioritized findings, a cryptographic risk register, and a sequenced migration roadmap for leadership.
-
Quantum Cyber Risk Playbook: A continuously updated reference covering FAQ and glossary terminology, quantum threat briefs, NIST IR 8547 and FIPS 203 (ML KEM) guidance, and a readiness capstone report, with BaiLEY, your AI Quantum Cyber Risk Expert, on hand for real time answers throughout.
Why It Matters
Together, the two establish a defensible readiness baseline, surface cryptographic risk hiding in legacy systems and vendor stacks, and turn an abstract future threat into a funded, sequenced program, with an expert on call the whole way through.
Who Should Use This Bundle
CISOs, CIOs, and CTOs. Security architects and cryptography owners. Risk, privacy, and compliance leaders. Any organization accountable for data that must remain confidential past 2030.
Delivered by ecfirst, trusted for cybersecurity and compliance expertise across CMMC, HITRUST, HIPAA, and NIST frameworks.
Quantum Cyber Risk Readiness Assessment
The encryption protecting your data today has an expiration date.
Public key algorithms secure every VPN, TLS session, and encrypted database in your environment. A quantum computer breaks both.
NIST has finalized the replacements (FIPS 203, 204, 205) and set the clock: deprecate by 2030, disallow by 2035.
Adversaries are harvesting encrypted data now to decrypt later. Data you encrypt today is breached in 2035.
The ecfirst Quantum Cyber Risk Readiness Assessment establishes where you stand, what is exposed, and what to fix first.
What We Examine
- Quantum cyber risk awareness across leadership and technical teams
- Cryptographic inventory
- Systems, applications, and data exposed to quantum threat
- Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness and crypto-agility
- Long-term data confidentiality exposure — harvest now, decrypt later
- Third-party, vendor, and supply chain cryptographic dependencies
- Migration sequencing and prioritization
- Alignment to NIST PQC standards and transition guidance
What You Receive
- Quantum readiness report with current-state rating
- Prioritized findings organized by exposure and remediation effort
- Cryptographic risk register
- PQC migration roadmap with sequenced next steps
- Executive summary built for board and leadership briefing
Why It Matters
- Establish a defensible readiness baseline — before a regulator, customer, or auditor asks
- Surface cryptographic risk buried in legacy systems and vendor stacks
- Protect data with confidentiality lifetimes that outlast today's encryption
- Convert an abstract future threat into a funded, sequenced program
- Position quantum resilience as a competitive differentiator, not a compliance scramble
