What is Enterprise PQC Discovery?

Enterprise PQC Discovery is the process of identifying cryptographic assets across an organisation's endpoints, servers, applications, databases, PKI, HSMs, cloud environments, and source code repositories, in order to understand quantum-vulnerable cryptography before migration planning begins.

What is an Enterprise CBOM (Cryptography Bill of Materials)?

An Enterprise CBOM is a continuously updated inventory of an organisation's cryptographic assets - the algorithms, certificates, keys, and libraries in use across its environment.

How is Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management different from cryptographic discovery alone?

Discovery identifies where cryptography exists. ECEM goes further - assessing business risk, prioritising remediation, and producing a practical migration roadmap, rather than leaving security teams to interpret raw findings on their own.

Does Quantum Sentinel collect private keys or sensitive files?

No. Quantum Sentinel collects cryptographic metadata only - it never copies private keys, certificates, sensitive files, or application data, and can be deployed on-premises or in air-gapped environments.

Q: What is Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management (ECEM)?

Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management (ECEM) is the discipline of discovering, understanding, and reducing cryptographic exposure - the business risk created by unknown, weak, outdated, or quantum-vulnerable cryptography across an organisation.

Discover enterprise cryptography. Understand cryptographic exposure. Confidently transition to post-quantum cryptography.

The Problem

Most organisations know their vulnerabilities.

Very few know their cryptographic exposure.

Every organisation relies on cryptography to secure data, identities, applications and communications.

Yet very few organisations can confidently answer:

Where is cryptography being used?
Which algorithms protect our critical systems?
Which certificates and keys are nearing end of life?
Which systems rely on quantum-vulnerable cryptography?
Which business services should be prioritised first?

Without these answers, quantum readiness becomes guesswork.

What is Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management (ECEM)?

Cryptographic exposure is the business risk created by unknown, weak, outdated or quantum-vulnerable cryptography across an organisation.

Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management (ECEM) is the discipline of discovering, understanding and reducing that exposure.

Just as Vulnerability Management helps organisations identify and prioritise software vulnerabilities, Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management helps organisations identify, measure and reduce cryptographic exposure.

Quantum Sentinel enables organisations to:

Discover

Discover cryptographic assets across your enterprise.

Inventory

Build a comprehensive inventory of all cryptographic assets.

Assess

Assess cryptographic exposure and business impact.

Prioritise

Prioritise risks and focus on what matters most.

Transition

Enterprise Cryptographic Exposure Management (ECEM) is not simply cryptographic discovery.

It is the continuous discipline of discovering, assessing, prioritising and reducing cryptographic exposure across the enterprise.

See Where Your Cryptography Stands

Get a clear picture of your cryptographic exposure – before quantum computing changes the stakes.

Why Now?

Quantum computing may still be years away. Your cryptographic exposure already exists today.

Every day organisations continue to deploy cryptographic algorithms, certificates, keys and libraries across applications, cloud platforms, databases, APIs and infrastructure.

Over time, these cryptographic assets become difficult to track, understand and manage.

The longer cryptography remains invisible, the harder-and more expensive-the transition to post-quantum cryptography becomes.

You can't prepare for tomorrow if you don't understand today's cryptographic exposure.

Designed for organisations where security, privacy and control are non-negotiable.
