Government and public sector
Build a defensible post-quantum migration record for public systems
Qubrisk helps public-sector programs translate post-quantum direction into scoped discovery, accountable migration work, documented uncertainty, and verifiable change.
Decision brief
- Primary query
- post quantum cryptography government
- Best for
- Teams that need reviewable cryptographic evidence, ownership, and continuous migration control.
- Safety boundary
- Evidence supports decisions; it is not proof of implementation safety or compliance.
Government environments often combine modern cloud services, long-lived on-premises applications, acquired systems, embedded devices, contractors, and products whose cryptography cannot be changed directly. The first requirement is not a claim of compliance; it is an evidence-backed picture of what is in scope, what was observed, what remains unknown, and who controls each dependency.
Qubrisk supports local scanning, open CBOM and SARIF output, versioned policy, expiring exceptions, and migration programs. Program teams can trace an executive status back to concrete systems and evidence, while engineers receive repository-level findings and verification criteria. Standards references can be updated without rewriting historical observations.
Capabilities
What the operating model needs to do
Scoped inventory
Separate scanned, excluded, inaccessible, vendor-controlled, and unknown surfaces.
Standards-aware policy
Version organizational rules and preserve which policy evaluated each asset.
Vendor accountability
Track product dependencies, requested roadmaps, milestones, and unresolved claims.
Portable reporting
Export open evidence formats for independent review and long-term records.
Workflow
A repeatable path to evidence
Use explicit scope, accountable decisions, and verification gates. Keep unknowns visible so progress is not manufactured by narrowing the denominator.
- 1
Establish authority and scope
Identify systems, impact levels, owners, contractors, and applicable directives.
- 2
Collect and validate
Run approved discovery and review evidence with system experts.
- 3
Sequence dependencies
Coordinate product updates, protocol interoperability, procurement, and operational rollout.
- 4
Maintain the record
Repeat scans, expire exceptions, preserve decisions, and monitor new cryptographic drift.
Expected deliverables
Artifacts the next team can inspect
- System-level cryptographic inventory
- Standards policy history
- Vendor transition tracker
- Migration evidence packages
- Known-unknown and exception register
Buyer checklist
Questions for a proof of value
- 01Can the scanner operate in restricted environments?
- 02Are evidence formats open and independently inspectable?
- 03Can policy versions reflect changing federal guidance?
- 04How are vendor-controlled systems tracked?
- 05Does reporting preserve limitations and unknowns?
Limits and cautions
What this page does not promise
- Use of Qubrisk does not establish NIST or CNSA compliance.
- CNSA 2.0 applicability depends on system context and competent authority.
- Classified or restricted environments require deployment-specific security review.
