Post-Quantum Cryptography Advisory

The algorithms have expired. The engineering problem has just begun.

NIST has finalized its post-quantum standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205). The "harvest now, decrypt later" window is already closing on your long-lived enterprise data. 365 Architect provides independent cryptographic discovery and crypto-agility engineering to secure complex, legacy-burdened enterprise estates.

The math is solved. The architecture is not.

Most enterprises are paralyzed not by the new quantum-resistant algorithms, but by their own architecture. You cannot migrate what you cannot see.

The Dependency Blindspot

80% of your cryptographic footprint doesn't live in your active code. It is buried in unmanaged third-party NuGet packages, legacy monolithic integrations, and black-box APIs.

The Retroactive Threat

Adversaries are archiving encrypted traffic today. If your data must remain secret for 10 years, and a cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) arrives in 7, your breach has already happened.

The Compliance Clock

NSA's CNSA 2.0 mandates the transition for national security systems by 2030. Sector regulators, financial compliance boards, and cyber-insurance underwriters are already demanding roadmaps.

How we execute the migration.

We do not sell vendor software or black-box scanners. We deliver a rigorous, phased engineering intervention designed to transition your entire estate without halting operational velocity.

01Audit — Cryptographic Discovery

We map your actual cryptographic reality. Using advanced static analysis and runtime tracing, we generate a comprehensive Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) across your active source code, legacy binaries, and supply chain dependencies.

02Analysis — Risk & Exposure Profiling

We cross-reference your CBOM against data retention lifespans and compliance mandates. We separate the critical "harvest now" vulnerabilities from low-priority internal systems to build a prioritized risk matrix.

03Evaluation — Architecture & Strategy

We evaluate migration strategies on real-world infrastructure. We design the decoupled architectural wrappers—Crypto-Agility layers—required to swap legacy RSA/ECC for NIST-standardized algorithms without breaking downstream systems.

04Consultancy — Implementation Governance

We deliver an executable, multi-year blueprint. We advise your architecture review boards, train your principal engineers, and provide ongoing governance to ensure the transition is flawless.

We don't just write roadmaps. We write the reference architectures.

We are principal-level enterprise architects. We don't rely on generic best practices; we rely on empirical engineering.

Deep Runtime Visibility

We build our own custom Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) parsers and execution tracers to map cryptographic call graphs where off-the-shelf scanners fail. We use this to accelerate your audit, and we leave the data with you.

Platform Authority

We intimately understand the intersection of legacy frameworks and modern runtimes (such as native .NET in-box PQC support). We know exactly what will break during a hybrid transition and how to isolate it.

Open Validation

Our reasoning is public. Read our published reference guides, like QuantumReady 365, to see exactly how we map FIPS 203/204/205 standards to active enterprise environments before you ever sign a contract.

Pricing & Engagement Model

We do not sell blocks of hours, and we do not provide open-ended consulting retainers. We deliver fixed-scope, fixed-fee architectural interventions.

The Cryptographic Baseline Audit

A rigorous, 4-week engineering assessment that discovers your true cryptographic footprint, isolates legacy dependencies, maps retroactive exposure risks, and delivers an executable migration blueprint.
