Challenge

The institution needed to understand its exposure to quantum-vulnerable cryptography and produce a migration plan for its board.

Context

Placeholder context — replace with an approved description of the client and scope.

Approach

Automated discovery across code repositories, certificates and network traffic was combined with system-owner interviews to build a cryptographic bill of materials, prioritised by data lifetime and exposure.
