ENGAGEMENT METHODOLOGY
The Three-Phase Quantum Readiness Engagement.
A structured, auditable consulting methodology delivered by our cryptographic specialists inside your security perimeter using the AQRA platform.
PHASE 01 · WEEKS 1–3
Discovery & Footprint Mapping
AQRA is deployed inside your network perimeter to execute zero-egress cryptographic discovery across source code, compiled binaries, third-party dependencies, and runtime traffic.
- → Full Cryptographic Asset Inventory
- → Software Supply Chain CBOM (CycloneDX)
- → Egress Verification Certificate
PHASE 02 · WEEKS 4–6
Risk Assessment & Regulatory Gap Analysis
Each cryptographic asset is scored against Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later (HNDL) exposure and statutory mandates. Generates actionable evidence mapped directly to Indian regulatory bodies.
- → Quantum Vulnerability Assessment Report (QVI)
- → CERT-In, RBI Q-SAFE & SEBI Gap Matrix
- → Board-Level Quantum Risk Briefing Deck
PHASE 03 · WEEKS 7–10
NIST-Aligned PQC Migration Roadmap
A prioritized, phased transition plan built on official NIST standards (FIPS 203 ML-KEM, FIPS 204 ML-DSA, FIPS 205 SLH-DSA) specifying algorithms, hybrid architectures, and upgrade paths.
- → NIST-Aligned Phased Migration Roadmap
- → Cryptographic Agility Architecture Specs
- → Vendor Cryptographic Risk Assessment Guide
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE
Post-Quantum Cryptography Is No Longer Discretionary.
Indian and global regulators have issued definitive transition timelines. Organisations subject to CERT-In, RBI, SEBI, and DPDP Act oversight face binding obligations to inventory and migrate vulnerable cryptography.
| Framework / Authority | Specific Mandate & Transition Directive | Required Output / Evidence | Status in India |
|---|---|---|---|
| CERT-In CISG-2025-02 Cybersecurity Advisory |
Cryptographic asset inventorying mandatory across government, PSUs, banking, and telecom infrastructure. Explicit directive to identify deprecated public-key algorithms. | CycloneDX-compatible Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) with algorithm-level granularity. | Active Guidance |
| RBI Master Directions 2026 Reserve Bank of India |
Mandates regulated financial entities maintain documented cryptographic asset registers, evaluate third-party software supply chains, and remediate legacy ciphers. | Automated inventory of cryptographic algorithms across core banking, UPI, and payment gateways. | Active Directive |
| RBI Q-SAFE Committee Quantum-Safe Architecture |
Recommends Tier 1 & commercial banks establish a Quantum-Safe Transition Committee, pilot NIST-standard hybrid algorithms, and produce baseline CBOMs. | Board-approved cryptographic migration roadmap and risk-scoring against harvest attacks. | Committee Target |
| SEBI CSCRF 2024 Securities & Exchange Board |
Cybersecurity & Cyber Resilience Framework mandates market infrastructure institutions (exchanges, depositories, brokers) maintain complete technology asset and crypto registers. | Continuous inventorying of software dependencies and cryptographic key management practices. | Mandatory Compliance |
| DPDP Act 2023 Digital Personal Data Protection |
Requires Data Fiduciaries to maintain reasonable security safeguards. Continued reliance on quantum-vulnerable cryptography protecting long-retention personal data constitutes actionable non-compliance. | Cryptographic assurance evidence demonstrating adequate protection of archival personal data. | Statutory Law |
WHY QVANTICALABS
Built for the Constraints of Regulated Enterprise Infrastructure.
We designed our consulting practice and our delivery technology around the strict realities of high-security enterprise environments.
DIFFERENTIATOR 01
The audit tool never leaves the building.
AQRA is deployed inside your air-gapped or restricted network environment. No telemetry, no cloud analysis, no external API calls, and zero data egress. Your cryptographic architecture and proprietary binaries remain entirely within your sovereign perimeter.
DIFFERENTIATOR 02
Regulatory evidence, not a dashboard.
We do not sell you software and leave you to figure it out. We deliver completed, board-ready audit reports, CycloneDX-compliant CBOMs formatted to ECMA-424, and explicit gap analyses mapped section-by-section to RBI, CERT-In, and SEBI regulatory requirements.
DIFFERENTIATOR 03
We deliver under your brand, not alongside it.
For global consultancies, system integrators, and Big 4 firms, we operate as a white-label Tier 2 delivery partner. We provide the deep quantum audit capability, tooling, and subject-matter expertise; you own the client relationship, the governance wrap, and the prime contract.
How the partner model works →THE DELIVERY INSTRUMENT
AQRA: Air-Gapped Quantum Risk Assessment.
AQRA is the proprietary audit platform that powers our quantum readiness engagements. Built specifically for air-gapped, zero-trust enterprise networks, it deploys entirely within your perimeter, analyses your cryptographic footprint across static source, compiled binaries, and live runtime configurations, and outputs a complete, actionable CBOM — with zero connection to the external internet.
