The post‑quantum transition is no longer a distant technical milestone - it is an operational, fiduciary, and supply‑chain reality. Yet many organisations still approach PQC with a single, unhelpful question: “Are our vendors quantum‑ready?” The truth is blunt. That question has no diagnostic value. It produces marketing language, not evidence. And it leaves organisations exposed to cryptographic blind spots they don’t even know they have. To prepare for PQC, organisations ne

The Missing Discipline The post-quantum conversation has a numbers problem. Vendors love to say they have found millions of cryptographic assets. That sounds serious. It sounds comprehensive. It sounds like the sort of number a board should pay attention to. But in most environments, that number is doing a lot of rhetorical work. What organisations usually have are millions of cryptographic instances. The same library. The same certificate. The same key store. The same implem
