Service / PQC & Quantum Migration

PQC Governance & Reporting

Establish the policy, decision rights, risk reporting and evidence management required to govern a multi-year cryptographic transition.

Business context

What this capability solves

PQC migration spans applications, infrastructure, procurement, vendors and long-lived assets. Without governance, pilots proliferate while critical legacy dependencies remain unresolved.

EBP Integra delivery principle

Technology is implemented as an operating capability: architecture, integration, governance, assurance, people, procedures and measurable outcomes are designed together.

Deep-dive capabilities

Capability model

Modular building blocks allow the scope to start with a focused pilot and expand into an enterprise operating model.

PQC Policy

Scope, approved profiles, prohibited/deprecated algorithms and exception process.

Programme Governance

Steering structure, workstreams, owners and decision cadence.

Risk Register

HNDL/TNFL exposure, migration blockers and accepted risk.

Vendor Governance

Readiness evidence, contractual requirements, roadmap and exit risk.

Metrics

Inventory coverage, migration waves, fallback, exceptions and legacy reduction.

Evidence / Audit

Decision records, test evidence, sign-offs and management reporting.

Reference architecture

How the capability fits together

Final topology, control placement and deployment model are validated during discovery and detailed design.

Inventory & Evidence

Assets, algorithms, protocols, keys, certificates, libraries, firmware, owners and dependency graph.

Risk & Governance

Data lifetime, HNDL/TNFL exposure, criticality, migration difficulty, target profiles and exception authority.

Migration Engineering

Hybrid algorithms, PKI/HSM/KMS, protocols, applications, devices, interoperability and test environments.

Continuous Crypto-Agility

Rescans, posture dashboard, key rotation, retirement, vendor tracking, evidence and assurance.

Controls & governance

Hybrid-first transition where compatibility requires it
No untested algorithm replacement in production

Implementation

Phased delivery

Each phase ends with evidence, acceptance criteria and a decision gate before broader scale-out.

1. DiscoverEstablish authoritative crypto inventory and ownership.

2. PrioritizeRisk-rank exposure using data lifetime, criticality and migration effort.

3. PilotValidate target/hybrid profiles and interoperability in controlled environments.

4. MigrateExecute waves, rekey, retire legacy, rescan and maintain evidence.
