Discovery is fragmented
Cryptographic exposure can be scattered across code, configurations, services and infrastructure rather than held in one governed inventory.
TRANSFORM · PQM
Run post-quantum migration as a governed operating programme.
PQM connects discovery, crypto inventory, dependencies, prioritisation, migration planning, approvals and verification into one evidence-led operating system for post-quantum migration.
The problem
Post-quantum migration is not a one-time scanning exercise.
The enterprise job is to discover exposure, understand dependencies, choose and approve treatment, then prove the resulting state.
Priority can become subjective
Teams need a traceable basis for why one vulnerable use matters before another, not an opaque readiness score.
Planning and approval drift apart
Migration decisions need affected scope, standards-grounded treatment and an explicit approval boundary before remediation proceeds.
Verification is often weak
A migration is not complete because a ticket closed; the resulting state needs exact post-change evidence and a governed verification result.
Migration operating flow
Govern the path from discovered evidence to verified remediation.
- 01
Discover
Identify cryptographic usage and preserve the exact evidence that supports each finding.
- 02
Inventory
Build an evidence-oriented view of vulnerable usage without inventing unsupported asset metadata.
- 03
Map dependencies
Understand what a change depends on and what may be affected before prioritisation.
- 04
Prioritise
Use explicit risk inputs and governed state rather than synthetic readiness scores.
- 05
Plan and approve
Define the migration treatment, affected scope and expected verification condition before a consequential human approval.
- 06
Verify
Compare before evidence, approved remediation and after re-scan evidence to produce VERIFIED, PARTIAL or FAILED.
Core operating surfaces
A migration console built around state, evidence and action.
The product deliberately avoids synthetic readiness scores and decorative dashboards. Each surface should answer a specific migration question.
- 01Portfolio / Migration Readiness
Attention queue first, followed by factual workspace posture rather than decorative metrics.
- 02Workspace Overview
Current state, required next action and governed workflow progression remain primary.
- 03Crypto Inventory + Finding Detail
Exact evidence is visually stronger than model interpretation, with deterministic facts kept separate.
- 04Migration Plan + Approval
Affected scope, standards-grounded plan, human approval and expected verification condition are explicit.
- 05Verification
Forensic Before → Approved Remediation → After Re-scan → Result structure.
Control philosophy
Exact evidence outranks summary decoration.
PQM keeps deterministic state, model interpretation and consequential human decisions visibly separate so the migration basis remains inspectable.
No synthetic readiness score
Portfolio state is expressed through factual counts, governed workflow state, priorities and exceptions.
Evidence first
Exact source evidence and provenance remain stronger than model explanation or summary narrative.
Approval is not execution
A migration approval is a distinct human decision and does not silently imply that remediation has been carried out.
Verification is forensic
Before and after evidence are compared against the expected verification condition rather than a generic completion marker.
Product boundary
No invented progress, unsupported production claim or decorative maturity signal.
Product state, actions and verification results should correspond to governed domain state. Human approval remains explicit where the consequence warrants it.
