    Think Earlier.

    Spending early is not the same as spending well. Evidence decides the order.

    Advisory Engagements Aligned to QCI-QS1

    Quantum Risk Governance: Structured, Scored, Auditable

    Every engagement produces artifacts defined by QCI-QS1: scored posture, crypto dependency inventory, vendor oversight documentation, and board-ready governance reporting.

    Think earlier. Act when the evidence says to act.

    QASI Inventory: Dependencies mapped
    Q-Risk Score: Comparable metric
    Board Insert: Quarterly artifact

    All engagements reference QCI-QS1

    QCI-QS1 is a free, published standard. Each tier below covers specific clauses of the standard, so you know exactly what governance artifacts you'll receive and which compliance requirements they satisfy. Read the standard →

    The standard is free. Here is what an engagement adds.

    QCI-QS1 is published and free. You can adopt it and score yourself. What you cannot do alone is make that score count for someone else. Diagnosis is free. Judgment is the engagement.

    Adopt the standard (free)

    A method you can self-assess against. Your own Q-Risk Score, your own inventory, your own board insert. Enough to know where you stand.

    Engage QCI (paid)

    An externally validated Q-Risk Score an auditor, insurer, or counterparty will accept. The timing call on what to defer and what to accelerate. The certificate estate and machine credentials a self-scan misses. Evidence someone else will rely on.

    A self-assessed 74 and an externally validated 74 are not the same number. One is a claim you make. The other is a claim someone else can rely on.

    Quantum Crisis Simulation

    You receive

    One entry engagement, not a catalogue. A facilitated two-hour tabletop runs your own people through a quantum-era cryptographic failure and produces a scored QCI-QS1 Clause 6 response-gap report. Everything the old diagnostics covered: Q-Risk scoring, crypto inventory, vendor attestation, board briefings, regulatory mapping, is now delivered at full scope inside the three programs below.

    What it changes

    your own people find where the response plan breaks before an incident does; you leave with a scored gap report you can act on.

    One-page engagement briefs

    A single page per engagement: what you receive, who it is built for, and exactly how it differs from the other three options. Built to forward to a colleague or a board member.

    Follow-on engagements

    Two programs continue after delivery. These are optional continuations, not prerequisites, each one keeps the standard alive inside your organization once the initial work is signed off.

    After Quantum Readiness Program

    QCI-QS1 Conformance Review

    $24,500 · 60 days, beginning after roadmap sign-off

    An independent review of the remediation work completed against the published QCI-QS1 standard, producing a dated conformance statement your auditors, insurers, and clients can rely on.

    • Reassessed Q-Risk Score with delta against the original baseline
    • Clause-by-clause conformance statement across QCI-QS1 Clauses 4–8
    • Evidence pack referenced directly in audit and insurance responses

    After Quantum Safe Transformation

    Continuous Assurance Retainer

    $8,500 / month · 12-month renewable term

    Ongoing custody of the standard inside your organization: quarterly Q-Risk reassessment, vendor attestation tracking, and timing guidance as NIST and regulatory deadlines move.

    • Quarterly reassessment with trended Q-Risk Score and board insert
    • Live vendor attestation register maintained against QCI-QS1 expectations
    • Standing advisory access for sequencing and defer/accelerate decisions

    Sector Supplement Extension

    $45,000 per supplement · 90 days per supplement

    Extends the transformation into an additional regulated sector or jurisdiction by applying a further QCI-QS1 sector supplement (S1–S7) to a newly acquired or newly regulated part of the estate.

    • Supplement-specific control mapping and gap findings
    • Regulator-ready alignment memo for the added regime
    • Integrated roadmap update so sequencing stays a single plan

    Not sure which engagement fits?

    Start with a scoping conversation. We'll identify which clauses of QCI-QS1 are most relevant to your risk profile and recommend the right engagement.

    Request a Posture Review

    The cost is in the timing, not the technology.

    Scheduled vs forced

    Plan the migration now and it is a project. Wait until an exam finding or a mandate forces it and it is an emergency, at emergency cost.

    Early spend vs right-time spend

    Buy PQC hardware or re-issue credentials before you need to and you pay twice. The standard tells you what can wait.

    Finding vs commendation

    Walk into the exam with an inventory, an owner, and a timeline, and the finding becomes a commendation. Walk in without them and it becomes a remediation order.

    Evidence, as it accrues

    We publish what we measure, and only what we measure. As engagements complete, this is where the outcome data lands: Q-Risk Score movement, exposures surfaced that internal inventories missed, and exams cleared. No invented numbers. That is the point of a standards body.

    The Standard Exists. The Question Is Whether You'll Adopt It.

    QCI-QS1 is free and published. Organizations that implement it now will be the ones peers point to when the timeline compresses.
