EBP Integra — Enterprise Technology, Digital Trust & Strategic Protection
Service / PQC & Quantum Migration

Cryptographic Discovery & Inventory

Find where cryptography is actually used across enterprise technology and establish accountable ownership.

Business context

What this capability solves

PQC migration fails when organizations do not know which algorithms, certificates, libraries, protocols and embedded dependencies protect their systems.

EBP Integra delivery principle

Technology is implemented as an operating capability: architecture, integration, governance, assurance, people, procedures and measurable outcomes are designed together.

Deep-dive capabilities

Capability model

Modular building blocks allow the scope to start with a focused pilot and expand into an enterprise operating model.

Network Discovery

TLS, SSH, VPN, certificates, protocol versions and externally observable crypto.

Configuration Discovery

Server, cloud, middleware, database and application cryptographic settings.

Code / Dependency Review

Crypto libraries, SDKs, build dependencies and application use of cryptographic APIs.

PKI / Key Sources

Certificate authorities, HSMs, KMS, key stores, code-signing and trust anchors.

Device / Appliance Inventory

Network appliances, OT, IoT, firmware and vendor-managed cryptographic dependencies.

Ownership Mapping

Link findings to business service, technical owner, data class, vendor and lifecycle.

Reference architecture

How the capability fits together

Final topology, control placement and deployment model are validated during discovery and detailed design.

Inventory & Evidence
Assets, algorithms, protocols, keys, certificates, libraries, firmware, owners and dependency graph.
Risk & Governance
Data lifetime, HNDL/TNFL exposure, criticality, migration difficulty, target profiles and exception authority.
Migration Engineering
Hybrid algorithms, PKI/HSM/KMS, protocols, applications, devices, interoperability and test environments.
Continuous Crypto-Agility
Rescans, posture dashboard, key rotation, retirement, vendor tracking, evidence and assurance.

Controls & governance

  • Approved cryptographic profile registry
  • Hybrid-first transition where compatibility requires it
  • No untested algorithm replacement in production
  • Key/certificate lifecycle and fallback controls
  • Vendor and firmware dependency tracking
  • Independent test evidence for critical systems
  • Exception ownership and retirement dates

Priority use cases

  • Enterprise PQC baseline
  • Critical-system inventory
  • M&A crypto due diligence
  • Regulated long-lived data
  • IoT/OT estate discovery

Key deliverables

  • Crypto asset register
  • Discovery evidence
  • Owner mapping
  • Unknown/unowned findings
  • Initial remediation backlog

Integration considerations

  • CMDB/asset inventory
  • PKI/HSM/KMS
  • Network/security platforms
  • Application/CI-CD dependencies
  • Cloud and SaaS configuration
  • IoT/OT device inventory
  • GRC/remediation workflow
Implementation

Phased delivery

Each phase ends with evidence, acceptance criteria and a decision gate before broader scale-out.

1. DiscoverEstablish authoritative crypto inventory and ownership.
2. PrioritizeRisk-rank exposure using data lifetime, criticality and migration effort.
3. PilotValidate target/hybrid profiles and interoperability in controlled environments.
4. MigrateExecute waves, rekey, retire legacy, rescan and maintain evidence.
