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

One supplier can destroy five years of post-quantum planning. Not through incompetence. Through dependency. The conversation around post-quantum cryptography still revolves around algorithms, migration plans and technical roadmaps. That misses the point. Modern organisations no longer control much of their own cryptography. It sits inside cloud platforms, software, managed services, operational technology and hardware supplied by third parties.
