Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness Audit
Government contractors need to know where their encryption will fail before quantum requirements become contract problems.
MC3 Group helps contractors, subcontractors, and security-focused companies identify post-quantum cryptography exposure, document risk, and build a clear migration roadmap without locking you into an implementation contract.
NIST Standards
The first federal post-quantum cryptography standards have been finalized.
CISA Guidance
Organizations are being encouraged to inventory cryptography and prepare quantum-readiness roadmaps.
Contract Pressure
Prime contractors and regulated buyers will increasingly expect vendors to explain their PQC plan.
The risk is not just future quantum computers. It is sensitive encrypted data being collected today.
Many companies still rely on RSA, ECC, TLS configurations, VPNs, certificates, code signing, email security, and vendor tools that were not designed for a post-quantum threat model.
Attackers can capture encrypted data now and decrypt it later when capable quantum systems exist.
Common exposure areas
- • Public key infrastructure and certificates
- • TLS, VPN, SSH, email, and API encryption
- • Software, firmware, and document signing
- • Cloud, SaaS, MSP, and security vendors
- • Long-retention sensitive data
- • Contract and compliance questionnaires
What the MC3 PQC Readiness Audit includes
This is an audit and recommendation engagement. We help you find the gaps, understand the risk, and create a roadmap.
Cryptographic inventory
Identify where classical public-key cryptography appears across systems, vendors, workflows, and policies.
Risk prioritization
Separate urgent exposure from low-risk noise so leadership knows what needs attention first.
Vendor readiness review
Assess which vendors support PQC, have roadmaps, or may create future compliance gaps.
Contractor positioning
Prepare language your team can use in questionnaires, proposals, and internal security reviews.
Migration roadmap
Create a phased plan for discovery, testing, procurement, implementation, and documentation.
Executive report
Deliver a plain-English summary leadership can understand without needing a cryptography background.
Who this is for
Best fit for organizations that need to look credible before PQC becomes an urgent procurement, compliance, or contract issue.
Simple audit process
01
Discovery
We review your environment, vendors, systems, and known encryption touchpoints.
02
Inventory
We document visible PQC exposure areas and identify missing information.
03
Risk scoring
We rank systems by sensitivity, data lifetime, external exposure, and contract relevance.
04
Roadmap
You receive a clear report with recommended next steps and implementation options.
A focused audit before you spend money on tools, vendors, or a rushed migration.
MC3 Group gives you a practical, decision-ready report that helps leadership understand what matters, what can wait, and what needs immediate attention.
Audit engagement
PQC Readiness Review
Designed as a first-step assessment for organizations preparing for customer, contract, or compliance pressure.
- • Leadership-ready summary
- • Technical exposure inventory
- • Vendor and system risk notes
- • Prioritized migration roadmap
- • Optional follow-up advisory session
Why MC3 Group?
You do not need a 200-page theoretical cryptography report. You need a practical outside assessment your leadership, sales, compliance, and technical teams can actually use.
- • Independent audit and recommendation model
- • Plain-English reporting for executives
- • Built for government-contractor sales pressure
- • No requirement to hire us for implementation
- • Roadmap your team or chosen contractor can execute
FAQ
Is this the same as implementation?
No. This offer is focused on auditing, documenting risk, and recommending a migration path.
What does PQC stand for?
PQC stands for post-quantum cryptography.
Why should we care now?
Sensitive encrypted data can be captured today and decrypted later. Federal agencies and national-security-adjacent organizations are already being pushed to inventory cryptography and plan migration.
Do we need to replace everything immediately?
Usually no. The first move is inventory and prioritization.
Can this help with customer or prime-contractor questionnaires?
Yes. One goal of the audit is to help you explain your PQC posture in a credible, practical way.
