Buyer-controlled M-26-15 readiness package

Start with evidence before platform vendors frame the answer.

M-26-15 gives agencies a 120-day planning window. Qtonic Quantum Corp helps agencies, contractors, cloud providers, and SaaS vendors turn that window into cryptographic inventory, CBOM-grade visibility, risk prioritization, vendor evidence requests, and migration-plan inputs.

Buyer path

Know exactly where you enter the M-26-15 evidence chain.

M-26-15 is an agency memo, but the evidence demand reaches contractors, cloud providers, SaaS vendors, critical infrastructure, boards, and CISOs. Start with the lane that matches the decision you have to defend before a platform vendor narrows the conversation.

Federal agencies

Submit a defensible PQC Migration Plan.

Inventory, prioritization, governance inputs, TLS 1.3 readiness, and migration-plan evidence.

Start agency readiness

Federal contractors

Answer agency customer evidence requests before PQC becomes a procurement blocker.

QScout evidence, CBOM-grade visibility, cryptographic agility review, and vendor-readiness package.

Assess contractor readiness

Cloud and SaaS providers

Prove shared-responsibility posture and crypto-agility across customer-facing services.

TLS posture, vendor dependency mapping, CBOM evidence, and QScout Pulse drift monitoring.

Map SaaS readiness

Boards and CISOs

Convert quantum risk from an abstract date into accountable migration decisions.

Executive risk dashboard, HNDL indicator, migration sequencing, and QStrike validation where proof depth matters.

Why this matters now

M-26-15 makes PQC migration operational.

Federal agencies must move from awareness to execution. The memo requires migration plans, high-risk system prioritization, automation where feasible, governance alignment, supply-chain coordination, TLS 1.3 readiness, zero trust integration, and cryptographic agility. That work starts with knowing what cryptography exists and who owns the migration risk.

The question is no longer "Are you thinking about quantum risk?"

The question is "Can you prove where your cryptographic exposure is and how you will migrate?"

Qtonic Quantum Corp answer

Qtonic Quantum Corp is the evidence layer before vendor selection.

The package is built to help buyers enter July and August with defensible facts: what cryptography is exposed, what needs proof, what vendors must answer, and what moves first.

Find

Cryptographic exposure across approved internet-facing assets, systems, protocols, and third-party dependencies.

Prove

CBOM-grade evidence, TLS posture, certificate findings, source boundaries, and owner-ready proof.

Sequence

Risk-ranked migration lanes for HVAs, high-impact systems, sensitive data, vendors, and exposed services.

Govern

Migration-plan inputs, vendor questions, executive dashboards, and continuous posture drift through QScout Pulse.

M-26-15 requirement mapping.

PQC Migration Plan within 120 days

Readiness Sprint produces plan inputs, evidence boundaries, findings, and roadmap inputs.

Risk-based prioritization

QScout ranks exposure by system criticality, algorithm risk, migration urgency, and data sensitivity.

Automated cryptographic inventory

QScout discovers quantum-vulnerable cryptographic indicators and produces structured inventory evidence.

CBOM visibility

Qtonic Quantum Corp produces CBOM-grade cryptographic evidence where scope authorizes deeper inventory.

TLS 1.3 readiness

QScout evaluates TLS exposure, protocol posture, certificate evidence, and migration gaps.

Cryptographic agility

QSolve identifies brittle libraries, hardcoded algorithms, owner gaps, and architecture constraints.

Third-party coordination

QSolve turns vendor, SaaS, cloud, and supply-chain questions into migration evidence requests.

Continuous reporting

QScout Pulse tracks posture, drift, migration progress, and executive reporting indicators over time.

The migration window has started.

2026

Plan and inventory

Build PQC Migration Plan inputs, crypto inventory, ownership, automation path, and risk prioritization.

2027-2028

Pilot and sequence

Validate priority systems, resolve vendor dependencies, and sequence migration work by blast radius.

2028-2030

Priority migration

Move HVAs, high-impact systems, long-lived sensitive data, and exposed asymmetric cryptography first.

Jan 2, 2030

TLS 1.3 support

Support TLS 1.3 in the federal timeline while preparing hybrid and PQC-ready transition paths.

2031

Signature migration

Transition priority digital-signature systems where vulnerable algorithms remain in the trust chain.

2035

Remaining migration

Qtonic Quantum Corp helps organizations start at the only place migration can start: knowing what cryptography they actually use.

One stack for PQC discovery, proof, and migration.

QScout

Cryptographic and external exposure discovery. Identifies quantum-vulnerable signals, protocol risks, TLS posture, and exposed systems.

QScout Pulse

Continuous monitoring of cryptographic debt, migration progress, vendor exposure, and posture drift.

QSolve

Migration planning and governance. Converts findings into architecture, procurement, budget, and roadmap decisions.

QStrike

Governed validation for higher-assurance environments where migration decisions need deeper technical proof.
