Sectors Supported

UK Enterprise & Critical Infrastructure

We deliver rigorous cryptographic risk analysis and PQC transition strategies across industries requiring absolute digital trust and operational longevity.

Financial Services

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

High-frequency transaction systems, legacy core networks, and SWIFT messaging systems depend heavily on RSA/ECC signatures. They are exposed to retroactive decryption by future quantum-scale processors.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Automated cryptographic discovery to create a comprehensive Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM), targeting core ledger databases and transaction networks.

Insurance

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

Managing and protecting extremely long-lived data, such as historical policyholder files and lifetime health profiles, which are vulnerable to 'Store-Now, Decrypt-Later' actions.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Long-term data security reviews, identifying systems containing sensitive files with lifetime requirements exceeding 15 years.

Healthcare

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

Securing patient healthcare databases, proprietary medical diagnostics, and connected clinical infrastructure relying on embedded cryptographic assets.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Protocol audits of hospital system databases, cloud integrations, and medical device networks.

Energy & Utilities

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

Protecting long-lived operational systems and distribution grids that must transition to hybrid cryptography over multi-decade lifecycles.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Physical constraints analysis of SCADA gateways, remote RTUs, and distribution infrastructure.

Manufacturing

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

Industrial machinery and factory floor PLCs with highly constrained hardware firmware that cannot easily be updated to run quantum-resistant algorithms.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Firmware and device memory audits to determine capabilities for supporting NIST-approved lattice-based algorithms.

Telecommunications

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

High-speed optical backbones, baseband cryptography, and core network authentication protocols that must remain secure against future decryption.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Protocol analysis of core transit routing, session key handshakes, and PKI enrollment mechanisms.

Transport

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

Signalling infrastructure, fleet communications, and long-life assets with high engineering dependency on PKI.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Trust chain audits of transport signaling, intermediate authorities, and code-signing frameworks.

Critical Infrastructure

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

National supply chains and public services relying on persistent, machine-to-machine digital trust relationships and certificate chains.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Comprehensive dependency mapping of critical national infrastructure supplier networks.

Government Suppliers

CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE:

Defense contractors and system integrators bound to prove cryptographic supply-chain security and CBOM compliance.

POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT FOCUS:

Rigorous supply chain compliance planning aligned with current UK cybersecurity guidance.
