SITG-CONSULTING
Independent Quantum Trust & PQC Assurance that Proves What is Real.
In a market saturated with PQC claims, the critical question for boards and regulators is no longer capacity, but authenticity. We replace assumption with evidence, providing the validation verdict you need to exercise control over your cryptographic narrative.
SITG-Consulting delivers evidence-led validation and audit-ready artefacts. Our role is to verify technical reality, producing the definitive validation verdicts required by boards, regulators, and procurement teams in 2026.
Explore our assurance capability and evidence framework below.
The SITG Quantum Risk Framework
Our structured framework validates any product, platform, protocol, or implementation that claims to be quantum-safe. We bridge the gap between technical complexity and operationally effective strategy, providing a rigorous forensic identification of risk across both enterprise implementations and commercial PQC products.
Protocol & Implementation Correctness
Validation of genuine PQC versus wrapper implementations, ensuring protocol correctness and identifying harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure.
Crypto-Agility & Entropy Assurance
Evaluating lifecycle governance, hardware assurance, and entropy sources to ensure long-term cryptographic resilience and agility.
Vendor & Product Claim Validation
Independent verification of vendor claims to separate marketing narrative from technical evidence, delivering a definitive validation verdict.
Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk
Deep forensic identification of cryptographic risk within third-party dependencies and broader technological supply chains.
All assurance modules and cryptographic pillars detailed below operate within this overarching risk framework.
Quantum Assurance & Strategic Advisory Modules
PQC Discovery and Cryptographic Exposure Assessment
We provide deep-packet and protocol analysis to generate a definitive Cryptographic Exposure Map, populating the enterprise Quantum Risk Register with evidence-led findings.
Crypto-Agility and Architecture Readiness Assessment
Baseline your resilience with a formal Crypto-Agility Maturity Score, identifying architectural constraints that risk obstructing seamless algorithm replacement cycles.
PQC Protocol and Implementation Validation
Our forensic implementation audits produce the PQC Assurance Report required by regulators, validating that protocols meet emerging NIST and BSI post-quantum standards.
PQC Product Validation (Vendor Programme)
We issue independent Product Validation Reports for procurement teams, subjecting vendor claims to black-box testing to separate market narrative from technical reality.
Quantum Governance and Operating Model Design
Structural design of your Quantum Trust Operating Model, institutionalising board-level oversight and cryptographic risk ownership for long-term compliance.
PQC Supply-Chain Assurance
Mitigate hidden systemic risk with objective Third-Party Quantum Assurance Ratings for your critical technological dependencies and ecosystem partners.
Continuous Quantum Assurance
Real-time cryptographic drift detection ensures that validated PQC implementations remain secure against regression and new harvest-now-decrypt-later attack vectors.
DELIVERING INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE AND OPERATIONAL VERDICTS FOR PROCUREMENT AND REGULATION Globally
GOVERNANCE & INDEPENDENCE
The Critical Gap: Why Technical Validation Without Governance Validation is Incomplete.
SITG-Consulting moves beyond cryptographic theory to operational reality. We forensically examine documentation, version control protocols, SDLC frameworks, configuration management, and incident response readiness. By scrutinizing compliance alignment and audit trail integrity, we determine whether a control truly exists or if it is merely a technical artifact without a home in the operating model.
Validated
Full technical and governance evidence verified. Suitable for immediate board record and regulatory submission.
Conditional
Core technical functionality valid; governing artifacts or SDLC integration require evidenced remediation for procurement approval.
Not Validated
Evidence fails to support fundamental claims. Significant risk noted for audit and core regulatory compliance.
Our commercial value is rooted in structural independence. SITG-Consulting maintains no vendor partnerships, no equity stakes, and no delivery incentives. We do not perform remediation work for 24 months following a verdict. This absolute neutrality ensures our verdicts are globally credible for boards, regulators, and auditors who require evidence over marketing.
