Quantum Safe Transformation
Full-Scope Advisory — QCI-QS1 Clauses 4–8 + Sector Supplements
Multi-department advisory engagement for enterprises moving from assessment to implementation. Covers the full QCI-QS1 scope including QASI inventory, Q-Risk scoring, supplier oversight, board reporting, and applicable sector supplements. Includes architecture review, migration planning, and ongoing timing intelligence to prevent premature or misdirected investment. Every score is reported with its three gate results: G60 requires 95 percent validated coverage of critical systems and critical data flows; G70 requires a current attestation from every critical supplier, with no exception route; G80 requires a representative end-to-end agility test within twelve months.
