PQC Sentinel

A vendor risk dashboard that scores every security product in your procurement pipeline on PQC readiness and alerts you when a supplier misses the 2027 ANSSI or CNSA 2.0 deadline.

Target user

CISOs and head of procurement at European enterprises and any organization selling security products into French, EU, or US federal markets

Features
  • Per-vendor readiness score auto-pulled from product docs, roadmaps, NIAP filings, and ANSSI qualification entries
  • Slack/email alerts when a vendor announces a PQC roadmap slip or loses certification eligibility
  • Auditable 'ANSSI-2027-ready' badge vendors can embed on their marketing pages — backed by source citations
  • Quarterly compliance memo generator formatted for board and GRC distribution
Why now

ANSSI publicly committed at the France Quantum 2026 conference to stop certifying PQC-free products by 2027 — in parallel with NSA's CNSA 2.0 — turning a five-year guidance project into a 12-month procurement deadline for vendors.

Enterprise TPRM platforms (Bitsight, SecurityScorecard) price per monitored vendor and routinely hit five-figure-to-six-figure annual contracts; a compliance-driven PQC angle with hard 2027 regulator deadlines gives strong budget-justification hook for CISOs.Bitsight Software Pricing & Plans 2026SecurityScorecard Pricing | Plans for Every Organization

Longevity
8/10

Regulatory tailwind extends well past 2027: ANSSI expects all business purchases to be quantum-safe by 2030; CNSA 2.0 has binding milestones through 2031 and full NSS migration by 2035 — multi-decade compliance market, not a one-off.France's ANSSI Sets 2027 Deadline to Ban Non-Quantum-Resistant ProductsCNSA 2.0 Timeline: Every Deadline From 2027 to 2035

Feasibility
5/10

MVP (questionnaire + self-attested scores) is straightforward, but real value requires ingesting CBOMs, certificate/transparency data, and active scan signals per supplier — a non-trivial data pipeline plus defensible scoring methodology against NIST/ANSSI/NSA criteria.PQC Readiness Checklist for CISOs 2026
