Most organisations don't know where they're exposed
Encryption protects everything: your customer data, financial records, communications, and intellectual property. But the type of encryption most organisations rely on today will not withstand quantum computing.
The problem isn’t just a future threat. Nation-states are already collecting encrypted data today, storing it until they have the quantum capability to unlock it. Your data may already be at risk.
You can't protect what you can't see
Most organisations have no clear picture of where their encryption is used, what type it is, or which parts are already at risk. Without a map, there’s no path forward.
This isn't a quick fix
Becoming quantum safe requires discovery, prioritisation, and a migration plan — not a software update. The earlier you start, the more control you have over how it happens.
A structured path from uncertainty to confidence
The Northdoor Initial Quantum Safe Readiness Assessment gives you an immediate view of your quantum-safe readiness and cryptographic posture, powered by IBM Quantum Safe Explorer and IBM Guardium Cryptography Manager, with actionable, prioritised insights in days.
Discover
We map the cryptography in your source code and networks, so you know exactly what you have and where it lives.
Assess
We evaluate what we find against policy and NIST-aligned standards, and rank it by impact and urgency so you know what matters most.
Roadmap
You receive a prioritised plan: what to fix, in what order, and how, ready for your teams to act on.
Everything you need to take action
At the end of the assessment, your organisation receives a full set of findings and recommendations — including materials ready to share with your board. Download the assessment overview (PDF)

Built for organisations with data worth protecting
If your organisation holds sensitive data, operates in a regulated environment, or has information that needs to stay confidential for more than five years — this assessment is for you.
The window to act is narrowing
IBM’s roadmap indicates quantum advantage — the point at which today’s encryption can be broken — is expected within four years. Regulatory bodies are already setting compliance deadlines. The time to prepare is now, not later.
The harvest is already happening. Nation-states are collecting encrypted data today and storing it until quantum computing arrives. Your financial records, intellectual property, and client communications may already have been captured. The organisations that act now will migrate in an orderly, planned way. Those that wait will face far greater cost and disruption when the deadline arrives.
The right expertise, directly applied
IBM co-created the first post-quantum cryptographic standards, now adopted globally by NIST. Their Quantum Safe platform is the most comprehensive enterprise toolkit available — covering every layer of your organisation from applications to network protocols.
Northdoor brings the consultancy expertise to deploy that toolkit in your specific environment and translate the findings into a plan your teams can actually act on. As an IBM Gold Business Partner, you get the full depth of IBM’s capability — not a watered-down version.
