QuantumGuard

A compliance platform that inventories your company's long-lived sensitive records and tells you which need to be migrated to NIST post-quantum encryption before 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks catch up.

Target user

CISOs and compliance leads at financial services, healthcare, and government contractors

Features
  • Inventory scan of long-lived sensitive records across databases, S3, and email archives
  • Risk score per data category indicating vulnerability to future quantum decryption
  • Migration plan with priority order to NIST-approved post-quantum algorithms
  • Vendor assessment showing which SaaS providers in your stack are post-quantum ready
Why now

NIST finalized post-quantum standards in 2024 and many industries face 5-10 year migration deadlines; 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks are documented and CISOs are actively planning responses.

NIST finalized PQC standards Aug 2024 and IR 8547 roadmap runs 2030-2035; the Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition published a Migration Roadmap and free Inventory Workbook in 2025, indicating active but still-early procurement interest from regulated CISOs.Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Migration Roadmap (2025)IR 8547, Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards | CSRC

Market is already crowded with IBM Quantum Safe, SandboxAQ, PQShield, Keyfactor AgileSec, CryptoNext, QuSecure, Entrust, Penta Security, AWS, and CBOM Secure all offering cryptographic inventory/risk assessment; plus PQCC offers a free Inventory Workbook that commoditizes the basic inventory layer.Top 10 Best Post-Quantum Cryptographic Solutions in 2026Cryptographic Inventory Vendors and Methodologies

Monetization
6/10

Regulated buyers (finance, healthcare, govt contractors) pay $50K-$500K+ for enterprise compliance platforms and IBM/SandboxAQ/Keyfactor have validated that pricing, but a free PQCC Inventory Workbook undercuts a pure inventory pitch and forces QuantumGuard to add proprietary assessment IP to justify pricing.Top Quantum-Safe Security Companies: Best Quantum Risk Assessment Firms ComparedPQC Inventory Workbook | Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition

Longevity
8/10

NIST IR 8547 deprecation deadlines run through 2030-2035 and long-lived sensitive records (health, financial, classified) face multi-decade exposure windows, so the regulatory tail and 'harvest now, decrypt later' framing sustain demand for a decade-plus.NIST's 2030 Post-Quantum Deadline: What Your Team Needs to Do NowNIST PQC Migration Roadmap: 2025-2035 Transition Plan

Feasibility
4/10

Requires deep integration with code repos, PKI/certificate stores, network traffic, and vendor systems, plus curated regulatory mappings — non-trivial engineering, and competing platforms (IBM Quantum Safe Explorer, Keyfactor AgileSec) already have working crawlers and CBOM output.Cryptographic Discovery and Inventory | KeyfactorMigration to Post-Quantum Cryptography - NCCoE
