Evidence signature
Public signals bind to governed proof.
No customer data.
QScout proof sequence. Evidence Handshake. public-to-private proof path. No customer data.
QScout Pulse by Qtonic Quantum keeps cryptographic risk current between major assessments with scheduled reassessment, event-based updates, and drift reporting after a governed baseline.
Not a SOC replacement. Not attack detection. Pulse keeps the QScout baseline live, explainable, and decision-ready after the initial governed baseline.
Re-run the QScout evidence model on a defined cadence so cryptographic posture stays current instead of aging into a stale point-in-time report.
Promote new findings when certificates, keys, libraries, vendors, or public attack conditions materially change.
Show what changed, why it matters, and whether the change increases migration pressure or board exposure.
Keep the board, CISO, and operating teams on one current view instead of passing around stale PDFs.
Why it is required, not optional
OMB M-23-02 requires a prioritized cryptographic inventory and annual migration reporting; CNSA 2.0 sets PQC transition timelines for national-security systems; NIST IR 8547 (initial public draft) describes deprecating 112-bit security after 2030. Continuous monitoring keeps that inventory and reporting evidence current.
Adversaries capture encrypted data today to decrypt at a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer. Every day on classical cryptography widens the exposure window — a periodic scan cannot catch a regression the day it happens.
Without a continuous instrument it is harder to document progress for a board, an auditor, or a command; to catch cryptographic drift; or to show the program is on track.
From signal to decision
What classical cryptography is exposed — prioritize the migration queue.
Which long-lived / sensitive data is harvestable now — shorten the window first.
The legacy backlog burn-down rate — hold the migration pace.
QScout strength-tier migration (Silver→Gold) toward hybrid, then post-quantum.
Adversary pressure on your cryptography — re-prioritize under attack.
Coverage and freshness — close residual blind spots.
Built for the buyers who must migrate
Board and regulator reporting; spend prioritized to the highest exposure.
A continuous crypto-risk posture, a prioritized migration queue, and traceable evidence designed to support auditor review — reusable for board, SEC governance, and risk-committee reporting.
OMB M-23-02 cryptographic inventory, prioritization, and annual reporting.
Standards-aligned inventory + prioritization + continuous reporting, with traceable evidence records you attach to a POA&M and reuse for attestation. Methodology mapped to NIST IR 8547 (initial public draft) / FIPS 203-205 / CNSA 2.0.
Nation-state harvest-now-decrypt-later against mission cryptography.
A continuous watch on the harvest window and adversary pressure, an HNDL model tied to data sensitivity and exposure duration, and traceable assurance evidence designed to support command and authorization review.
Standards crosswalk
| Requirement | How Pulse helps |
|---|---|
| OMB M-23-02 — maintain a prioritized cryptographic inventory | Continuous inventory of observed cryptography with risk prioritization and owner assignment. |
| OMB M-23-02 — report migration progress annually | Traceable, time-stamped migration-state evidence and trend, exportable for reporting. |
| CNSA 2.0 / NIST PQC — transition to approved algorithms | Silver→Gold strength tracking toward FIPS 203/204/205 (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA). |
| NIST IR 8547 (initial public draft) — describes deprecating 112-bit by 2030 and disallowing it by 2035 | Continuous planning horizon to the deprecation window; flags exposure against it. |
Honest scope
Baseline from consented public surfaces (TLS / certificate / header metadata); the continuous Pulse instrument; published evidence-state labeling; published methodology.
Internal, cloud, and PKI discovery beyond public surfaces; mission / enclave assessments; tailored readiness reviews.
Systems-of-record integrations and exports; expanded accreditation posture — stated honestly, not implied as turnkey.
Every Pulse finding carries a confidence score with its basis and traceable source lineage, so the evidence is designed for verification rather than assertion.
QScout Pulse extends QScout into a 24/7/365 continuous quantum cyber risk and vulnerability intelligence layer so posture changes are detected, explained, and reported before they become surprises.
Product-owned next step
Start with a scoping conversation if you need a continuously current intelligence layer between major assessments.
QScout Pulse begins after an initial QScout baseline. It is an always-current intelligence layer, not a SOC replacement or attack-detection platform.
