QRAM · Quantum Risk Assessment & Management

Know which systems to make quantum-safefirst, and show exactly why.

QRAM assesses quantum risk asset by asset, across every factor that shapes it: business criticality, data sensitivity, time to migrate, vendor readiness, migration feasibility, threat exposure, cryptography and compliance. You get a migration order you can act on, and the evidence to defend it.

— WHY NOW

Regulators have set the dates. The order of work is still yours to decide.

01

United States

NIST IR 8547 (draft) proposes deprecating quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms after 2030 and disallowing them after 2035. Executive Order 14412 (June 2026) requires federal high-value and high-impact systems to use PQC key establishment by end-2030 and PQC signatures by end-2031.

02

European Union

The coordinated roadmap (June 2025) calls for national strategies and cryptographic inventories by end-2026, high-risk use cases transitioned by end-2030, and remaining systems by end-2035.

03

United Kingdom

NCSC timelines (March 2025): discovery and planning by 2028, high-priority migration by 2031, completion by 2035.

04

India

The National Quantum Mission Task Force roadmap (DST, February 2026) sets out two tracks: critical information infrastructure to secure high-priority systems by 2028 and reach full quantum resiliency by 2029; all other enterprises by 2030 and 2033. The Reserve Bank constituted an expert committee on a quantum-secure financial ecosystem in May 2026. SEBI's cyber-resilience framework already places cryptographic controls under supervisory obligation.

Standards say what to migrate to, and regulators say by when. QRAM tells you which of your systems to change first.

— ASSET-CENTRIC

Every finding belongs to an asset you can act on.

Organised the way you run the business.

Company, business unit, system and asset. Scope an assessment at whichever level a decision is being made.

Covers the whole estate.

From servers, HSMs and firmware to databases, APIs, SaaS and network devices, each assessed on the factors that apply to it.

Cryptography attached to what it protects.

Every key, certificate and protocol is linked to its asset. Anything that cannot be matched is kept for you to link, never dropped.

Risk follows the data.

A system that hosts sensitive data takes on that data's exposure, so it cannot look safer than what it holds.

Vendors connected to their assets.

One confirmed vendor assessment updates the risk of the assets that vendor supplies.

Illustrative. Every rating opens to the asset's own inputs, artifacts and threat scenarios.

— THE ASSESSMENT

Seven modules, two roll-ups.

Foundation modules read what the asset is and what it holds. Advanced modules read the cryptography it actually runs. Each is weighted to your priorities, set once for an organisation, a business unit or a single project.

Foundation

Runs on asset data you already hold. No discovery tooling needed.

Timeline
How long the asset must stay secure and how long migration will take, against your quantum-computer target year.
Data Risk
Data sensitivity, store-now-decrypt-later exposure and regulatory requirements, rolled up to every system that holds the data.
Supply Chain
Vendor PQC readiness and engagement, sourcing alternatives, procurement cycles and source-country risk, for vendor-supplied assets.
Migration Feasibility
Cost, complexity, upgradability, legacy status, hardware limits, crypto-agility, certification and access to source code.

Integrated Foundation

Weighted average of the four, leaving out any that do not apply.

Advanced

Adds the cryptographic inventory you import.

Threat
Likelihood and impact across the threat scenarios selected for the asset, in the NIST SP 800-30 structure. The worst scenario sets the result.
Cryptography
The weakest key, certificate, protocol, cipher suite, library, key store or signature on the asset, rated against the knowledge base.
Compliance
Every artifact on the asset checked against every rule of the policies assigned to the project.

Integrated Advanced

Weighted average of the three, on the same seven-band scale.

Every module reports on one seven-band scale, or NA where it does not apply to the asset.

— WHO IT HELPS

One assessment, six teams that can act on it.

01

Board and executives

A funding case you can defend

A portfolio view on one seven-band scale, and a print-ready executive report that shows where risk sits and names the highest-risk assets and what drives each.

02

CISOs and risk leaders

An order of work, not a pile of findings

Assets ranked by integrated risk, with the module driving each. Pin a baseline run and compare every later run against it, asset by asset.

03

Architects and analysts

No more spreadsheet risk models

Import the CBOMs, discovery exports and asset lists you already have. Every key, certificate, protocol and library is classified against the knowledge base as it arrives.

04

Compliance and internal audit

Findings an auditor can test

Every artifact checked rule by rule against the baselines you assign, with the violating artifact and the rule shown for each finding.

05

Procurement and vendor management

Every vendor held to one standard

One post-quantum readiness questionnaire with must-pass questions. The confirmed result updates supply-chain risk for every asset that vendor provides.

06

Programme leads

Progress you can show

A readiness assessment with a recommended next step at every level, and dated snapshots to show how far the programme has moved.

— HOW IT RUNS

From the data you hold to a ranked, explained result.

01

Set the scope

Create a project for a company, a business unit or a single system, and choose the modules to run.

02

Load your assets

Import a CSV, with a validate-only pass before anything is written, add assets in bulk, or start from the sample data set.

03

Load your cryptography

Import CycloneDX CBOM files, UCDI discovery exports or CSVs. Artifacts that match no asset are kept for you to link, and re-imports update rather than duplicate.

04

Review the threats

Each asset starts with the threat scenarios for its type. Adjust them per asset; QRAM asks before running on selections nobody has reviewed.

05

Assign policies

Choose the compliance baselines each project is checked against.

06

Run the assessment

Every enrolled asset is scored on the selected modules, and the run is pinned to the module settings and weights in force.

07

Act on the results

Drill from any score to its inputs and weights, compare with earlier runs, export to CSV and print reports.

08

Track readiness

Complete the readiness assessment, much of it answered from your project data, and assess your vendors.

— METHOD

Threat analysis grounded in NIST SP 800-30.

QRAM's Threat module is built on the risk model of NIST SP 800-30 Rev. 1, Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments: threat sources, threat events, vulnerabilities rated by severity, predisposing conditions rated by pervasiveness, and impact. The worst scenario sets each asset's result, so one severe exposure is never averaged away.

Your risk and audit teams recognise the method, and the content is built for the quantum threat: post-quantum scenarios for the data, control, management and platform planes of network and infrastructure devices, alongside general threat scenarios. Add your own entries next to the shipped ones.

01

Prepare

Project scope, modules in play, weights, and your own CRQC probability curve.

02

Conduct

Threat analysis and six further modules, for every enrolled asset.

03

Communicate

Executive and portfolio reports, and per-asset evidence down to each input.

04

Maintain

Re-run as the estate changes and compare against a pinned baseline.

— THE DIFFERENCE

What sets QRAM apart.

01

Start before discovery

Assess business context from the records you already hold, and point discovery at the assets that matter instead of scanning everything first.

02

Every score traceable

Open any rating to the inputs, weights and exclusions behind it. A reviewer who is not a cryptographer can follow the reasoning.

03

Your priorities, on the record

Tune what matters most for an organisation, a business unit or a single assessment. Every result records the priorities it was scored with.

04

Your quantum timeline

Plan against your own view of when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives, and revisit it as estimates move.

05

Nothing critical averaged away

An asset takes the risk of its weakest artifact and its worst threat scenario. One exposed trust anchor is never diluted by healthy neighbours.

06

Gaps stated, not guessed

Missing inputs are left out and reported, and a dimension that does not apply is marked as such, never scored as zero risk.

07

Progress you can prove

Every assessment is kept as it was run. Pin a baseline and show the board, asset by asset, what has improved since.

08

Vendors feed risk automatically

A confirmed vendor readiness assessment updates supply-chain risk for every asset that vendor supplies, in one step.

09

Runs where your data must stay

On your own servers or on isolated hosts without internet access, with role-based access and a log of every change.

— ASSURANCE

Built to be audited.

Runs you can reproduce

Each run records the configuration versions, weights and quantum-timeline assumption it used, sealed with a hash.

Results never overwritten

Every run keeps its own results. Label and pin a baseline, then compare any later run against it.

Your quantum timeline

Load your own probability curve for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer.

Every change on record

Who changed what and when, across the platform, with role-based and per-project access.

— TWO TIERS

Start with what you know. Add cryptographic evidence where it counts.

QRAM Foundation

BEFORE CRYPTOGRAPHIC DISCOVERY • FOR EXECUTIVES AND PLANNERS

Timeline, Data Risk, Supply Chain and Migration Feasibility, from asset records and owner input your organisation already has.

The result: discovery effort and budget go to the systems that matter, instead of the whole estate at once.

QRAM Advanced

AFTER DISCOVERY • FOR CISOS, CIOS AND SECURITY ARCHITECTS

Adds Threat, Cryptography and Compliance on the cryptographic inventory you import, and combines them into one integrated view per asset.

The result: a migration order grounded in what each system actually runs, with the policy gaps named.

— READINESS

Measure your readiness to act, and your vendors.

Readiness gap assessment

A structured assessment of your post-quantum programme across six capability areas, from governance to execution. Every answer comes with the gap it implies and a recommended next action.

Much of it is answered automatically from your assessment data. Weight the areas that matter most, and keep dated snapshots to show how far the programme has moved.

Vendor PQC readiness

One structured questionnaire, sent to the vendor and scored consistently on return. Must-pass questions on cryptographic inventory, customer data handled, crypto-agility and a dated roadmap stop a weak vendor scoring well on everything else.

Once you confirm the scores, the readiness band updates the Supply Chain inputs of every asset linked to that vendor.

— THE NEXT STEP

Find out where your quantum risk sits.

Bring an asset list or a CBOM export. We will walk through what QRAM finds with your team.

Structured walkthrough on your own asset list. Nothing installed. No implementation commitment required.
