Here is the honest situation. Here is the honest situation. Most cryptography in your estate was chosen once, years ago, and never revisited, which is exactly why it feels like a solved setting rather than an asset with a lifespan. Meanwhile the ground has shifted. NIST finalized the first post-quantum standards in 2024 and published a timeline that deprecates today's RSA and elliptic curve algorithms by 2030 and disallows them by 2035, and adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data to decrypt once a quantum computer arrives, so any long-lived secret is exposed now. The trouble is that most organizations cannot even name every place they use cryptography, let alone plan its replacement. Doing this well is not about the mathematics of any single algorithm. It means building a real inventory, assessing each primitive against current standards and the sensitivity and confidentiality lifetime of the data it protects, mapping every quantum-vulnerable use to its post-quantum destination, sequencing a migration against the published deadlines with hybrid key exchange, running the key lifecycle from generation to destruction, and building the agility to swap the next broken primitive without re-architecting. Where teams fall short is predictable: an inventory built from policy instead of the running estate, risk ranked by age instead of exposure, migration treated as a config flag instead of an engineering effort, keys left immortal and undestroyed, and algorithms hard-coded so the next break is a multi-year excavation.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is cryptographic lifecycle management written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an engineering team, an architecture review or a security or compliance assessor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in cryptography engineering, security architecture and the published NIST post-quantum standards and transition guidance applied to a real enterprise estate. Editable Word and Excel files. This is a practitioner method, not a substitute for your own cryptographic standards, threat model and legal or regulatory advice.
What one control looks like
This is the opening control, where the assessment begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A cryptographic estate you cannot evidence as inventoried, assessed and on track for post-quantum migration is a finding waiting to land. This tells you what a reviewer or an assessor examines and where teams fall short, for every control.
- The post-quantum specifics built in. The FIPS 203, 204 and 205 destinations, harvest-now-decrypt-later prioritization, hybrid key exchange, the 2030 and 2035 deadlines, and cryptographic agility are written into the controls, not left generic.
- Built on real standards, not one person's opinion, grounded in the published NIST post-quantum standards and transition guidance and in how cryptographic estates are actually inventoried, migrated and governed.
- It compounds. This work shares its shape with security architecture, key management, PKI and standards compliance, so it feeds your wider security and compliance practice.
Who buys this
Security architects, cryptography engineers and compliance officers who own the algorithms, keys, certificates and standards in an enterprise estate and have to prove it is inventoried, assessed and on track for the post-quantum transition. Whether this is your first cryptographic inventory or a hardening pass on a migration already under way, you save weeks and walk in with your inventory, risk assessment, migration roadmap, key lifecycle and agility controls structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover the whole lifecycle? Yes. Cryptographic inventory and discovery, primitive risk assessment and standards alignment, the post-quantum migration roadmap, key lifecycle management, cryptographic agility and implementation, and governance, evidence and monitoring each have their own controls with their own evidence.
Is this tied to one vendor or product? No. The controls are principle-level, the inventory and bill of materials, primitive risk rating, the FIPS 203, 204 and 205 migration mapping, hybrid key exchange, the key lifecycle, the crypto-agility layer and the governance policy, so they apply whatever libraries, key management and certificate authorities you run, alongside your team rather than replacing it.
