Post-quantum migration

Make the 2035 transition executable now.

Qestrel converts cryptographic exposure into sequenced, accountable work aligned with NCSC migration milestones and NIST post-quantum standards.

Why now

Three clocks decide your priority order.

Data encrypted with RSA or ECC today can be harvested now and decrypted later. Whether that matters for a given system depends on three timers running against each other, and Qestrel weighs all three for every finding.

01

Shelf life of the data

How long must this information stay confidential? Health records, financial data and intellectual property often need protecting for decades.

02

Time to migrate

Re-keying estates, replacing certificates and waiting on vendor releases takes years. The migration has to start before the deadline makes it urgent.

03

Safe-until date

Each finding gets a date after which its protection can no longer be relied on. That date, not guesswork, sets the order of work.

Migration path

A phased route from discovery to crypto-agility.

NCSC sets out a phased route to post-quantum migration through 2035. Qestrel gives you the inventory, the plan and the vendor tracking to move through it on schedule.

NOW PHASE 01

Define & discover

Build the cryptographic inventory, identify your most sensitive long-lived data, and establish ownership. The work that makes everything after it possible.

2028 PHASE 02

Prioritise & plan

Translate the inventory into a migration roadmap. Sequence systems by risk, agree budget, and engage vendors on their post-quantum timelines.

2031 PHASE 03

Migrate high-priority systems

Your teams and vendors migrate the most exposed systems first, with Qestrel tracking progress and flagging where a supplier's timeline puts you at risk.

2035 PHASE 04

Complete the transition

Full estate migrated and crypto-agile, with Qestrel maintaining a live record of coverage as evidence for auditors and regulators.

Standards-aware

Track the baseline as guidance evolves.

Qestrel scores findings against the standards your auditors, regulators and government customers already recognise, and keeps the roadmap aligned as post-quantum guidance evolves.
