Quantum is moving from research into regulation, procurement, and the boardroom. We help regulated businesses take a clear, governed position on it: where it could help or disrupt you, what the emerging rules and standards require, and how to manage the risks, of which your cryptography is only the most time-sensitive. The same discipline we bring to AI: governance built into the architecture, not bolted on.
Quantum technology is moving from the laboratory into regulation, customer security reviews, supplier roadmaps, and vendor pitches faster than most boards can track. Yet in most regulated organisations there is no owner, no agreed posture, and no reliable way to separate genuine signal from hype. The point of governance is to let you decide early, while the choices are still open, rather than react once the technology is entrenched.
No clear view of where, or whether, quantum could help or disrupt your business, and no basis to choose between acting, piloting, and waiting; vendor claims are hard to test against the real maturity of the technology.
A widening rulebook to track, from the proposed EU Quantum Act and national strategies to technical standards, dual-use and export controls, and sector resilience rules.
A risk register that does not yet reflect quantum, including its most time-sensitive item, data that can be harvested now and decrypted later, alongside vendor lock-in, supply-chain exposure, and claims you cannot independently verify.
Quantum sits between strategy, security, procurement, legal, and the board, so in practice no single function owns it and decisions get made by default.
Where quantum could help, disrupt, or simply not matter for your business, assessed against the real maturity of the technology rather than vendor hype. A clear act, pilot, or wait decision for each relevant use case, with a costed watching brief for the rest.
Track and translate the emerging quantum rulebook into obligations that actually apply to you: the proposed EU Quantum Act and national strategies, technical standards and benchmarking, and the dual-use and export-control dimension.
Put quantum on your risk register with impact and likelihood you can defend. We cover cryptographic exposure, the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat to long-lived data, alongside vendor lock-in, supply-chain dependencies, and the assurance gap around results you cannot easily verify.
Evaluate quantum and quantum-safe vendors, cut through the hype, build quantum-readiness requirements into procurement, and avoid lock-in. We assess supplier roadmaps and the claims behind them.
Where confidentiality lifetimes make it urgent, a discovery-first cryptographic inventory and a phased, crypto-agility-led migration plan, aligned to DORA, NIS2, and PCI DSS 4.0. One workstream inside the wider quantum picture, not the whole of it.
Stand up a single quantum posture and clear ownership across security, architecture, procurement, legal, and the board, with governance embedded in the system and continuously monitored rather than captured in a document that dates on day one.
A typical first engagement runs 4–8 weeks to a governed quantum posture. An ongoing watching brief and review continue from there.
Understand the business, its regulatory exposure, and where quantum could plausibly matter. Establish who currently owns the question, which is usually no one.
Map the emerging rules and standards that apply to you, and build the quantum risk register, including cryptographic exposure where data lifetimes make it urgent.
An act, pilot, or wait decision for each relevant use case, a prioritised set of actions, and a costed plan, built around your strategy and release cadence.
Stand up the operating model: a single posture, clear ownership across functions, and reporting lines, with governance designed into the architecture rather than bolted on.
Keep the posture current as standards, regulation, and the technology mature, with periodic review and continuous monitoring rather than a one-off report.
Boards and risk committees who need a credible, governed position on quantum rather than a reactive one
Regulated firms whose customers, regulators, or auditors are starting to ask about quantum readiness
CISOs, CTOs, and heads of architecture who need to brief leadership and cut through quantum vendor hype
Procurement and vendor-risk teams seeing quantum and quantum-safe claims appear in supplier roadmaps
Investors and acquirers assessing quantum exposure, or a quantum bet, inside a target
Compliance and legal teams tracking the EU Quantum Act, standards, and dual-use controls as they form
Whether the prompt is a customer security review, a new regulation, a supplier’s roadmap, or a board question you cannot yet answer, we help you form a clear, governed position, and tell you honestly what needs action now and what can wait.
