Post Quantum Security (PQS)
Prepare for the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography — with centralized inventory, structured migration planning, and governance across systems and vendors.
Product Overview
Prepare Your Organization for the Post-Quantum Era
Post Quantum Security (PQS) is the process of identifying, managing, and transitioning cryptographic systems to quantum-resistant standards in response to emerging threats from quantum computing. SmartSuite’s Post Quantum Security software provides a structured, scalable system to manage cryptographic inventory, assess risk exposure, and coordinate migration efforts across your organization.
SmartSuite enables organizations to build and maintain a centralized inventory of cryptographic assets — including algorithms, keys, certificates, systems, and vendors — providing a clear view of where quantum risk exists. With a centralized system of record, teams can track cryptographic usage and dependencies in a way that is repeatable, auditable, and defensible.
The product aligns with emerging standards and guidance such as NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) recommendations and other regulatory expectations, while remaining flexible enough to support internal security strategies and transition plans.
SmartSuite delivers real-time visibility into cryptographic risk exposure, enabling organizations to identify vulnerable assets, prioritize migration efforts, and track readiness across the enterprise. This reduces long-term security risk and ensures proactive alignment with future standards.
As part of SmartSuite’s connected GRC architecture, Post Quantum Security extends beyond inventory tracking.
PQS insights are continuously informed by:
- Cyber threat management and vulnerability tracking
- Enterprise risk and operational risk assessments
- Third-party risk and vendor cryptographic dependencies
- Compliance and regulatory requirements
- Issues and remediation workflows
This ensures that post-quantum readiness is managed as a connected, continuously evolving security and governance program.
The product supports a wide range of PQS use cases, including:
- Cryptographic inventory and discovery
- Quantum risk assessment and prioritization
- Migration planning and tracking
- Vendor and third-party cryptographic oversight
The result is a Post Quantum Security program that is:
- Structured and defensible for security and regulatory expectations
- Proactive and scalable across complex environments
- Transparent and actionable for security, risk, and leadership teams

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about SmartSuite’s pricing models, plan options, and onboarding programs.
Post-quantum security refers to the preparation and transition to cryptographic systems that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers. As quantum computing advances, many current encryption methods—such as RSA and ECC—are expected to become vulnerable. This creates a long-term risk for organizations that rely on encryption to protect sensitive data. SmartSuite enables organizations to proactively manage this transition by providing visibility into cryptographic usage and supporting governance workflows. By addressing post-quantum risks early, organizations can avoid rushed and costly migrations later. The result is a more secure and future-ready security posture.
SmartSuite provides a centralized system to identify and track cryptographic assets across applications, systems, and infrastructure. Organizations can document where encryption is used, what algorithms are in place, and how they are implemented. This creates a comprehensive inventory that is critical for understanding exposure to quantum risk. By linking cryptographic assets to systems and ownership, SmartSuite ensures full visibility and accountability. This inventory becomes the foundation for planning migration and governance. The result is a clear and actionable view of cryptographic risk across the organization.
SmartSuite enables organizations to define and manage migration plans for transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. Teams can track migration activities, assign ownership, and manage timelines through structured workflows. Dependencies between systems and applications can be identified and coordinated. By integrating migration planning with operational workflows, SmartSuite ensures that transitions are executed systematically. This reduces disruption and improves coordination across teams. The result is a more controlled and efficient migration process.
SmartSuite connects post-quantum security initiatives with enterprise risk management and compliance workflows. Cryptographic risks can be assessed and tracked alongside other organizational risks. Controls related to cryptography can be mapped to regulatory frameworks and standards. This ensures that PQS is not treated as a standalone initiative but as part of a broader governance program. By integrating PQS into GRC workflows, organizations can manage risk holistically. The result is stronger alignment between security, risk, and compliance.
SmartSuite allows organizations to evaluate cryptographic risks based on factors such as data sensitivity, system criticality, and exposure to quantum threats. Each asset can be classified and prioritized for migration accordingly. This ensures that the most critical systems are addressed first. By integrating risk scoring with operational data, SmartSuite improves prioritization accuracy. This enables organizations to allocate resources effectively. The result is a more focused and risk-driven approach to PQS.
SmartSuite provides structured workflows, dashboards, and reporting to track progress and ensure accountability across PQS initiatives. Leadership can monitor migration status, risk exposure, and control implementation in real time. This ensures that PQS efforts are aligned with organizational priorities and regulatory expectations. By providing full visibility, SmartSuite supports informed decision-making. This improves governance and ensures that initiatives remain on track. The result is a well-managed and transparent PQS program.
Yes. SmartSuite is designed to support large organizations with complex IT environments and multiple cryptographic dependencies. It provides scalable data models, role-based access, and workflow automation to manage PQS initiatives across teams and regions. Organizations can coordinate efforts across business units while maintaining centralized visibility. This ensures consistency and alignment at scale. The result is an enterprise-ready approach to post-quantum security.
SmartSuite enables organizations to take a proactive approach to cryptographic modernization by combining inventory, risk assessment, and migration workflows in a single platform. By providing visibility and structure, it ensures that organizations can plan and execute transitions effectively. This reduces uncertainty and prepares organizations for future regulatory and technological changes. Over time, organizations can strengthen their security posture and maintain trust. The result is a future-ready organization that is prepared for the quantum era.
