Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about cryptographic BOMs, our AI-driven platform, and what to expect.
What is a cryptographic BOM?
A Bill of Materials that inventories every cryptographic asset — ciphers, keys, certificates, libraries — across your 5 infrastructure layers (Network, Code, Infrastructure, Data, PKI), mapped to quantum-safe readiness against 4 global frameworks.
How long does a scan take?
Most scans complete in under 10 minutes. Results appear in your dashboard immediately.
Is it really free?
Yes. Scan 1 asset per section (Network, Code, Infrastructure, Data, PKI) at no cost. No credit card required. Upgrade when you need more scope.
What are the 5 BOM sections?
Network (TLS/SSH/VPN), Code (dependencies/libraries), Infrastructure (IAM/KMS/HSMs), Data (databases/backups), and PKI (certificates/CAs).
What standards do you track?
We map your BOM against 4 global frameworks: NIST (USA), EU Cybersecurity Act (Europe), GB/T (China), and CRYPTREC (Japan). Full compliance dashboards available.
What are the Dashboard Deadline Alerts?
Every month, we display upcoming quantum compliance deadlines directly in your dashboard — covering CNSA 2.0, NIST FIPS 203/204/205, EU CS mandates, and other global frameworks. This keeps your team informed at a glance, regardless of your plan.
What does Email Deadline Alerts include?
Pro, Enterprise, and Custom subscribers receive the same deadline alerts proactively via email. We'll notify you 90, 60, and 30 days out from critical migration windows — so you never miss a deadline.
What is the tailored newsletter?
Pro, Enterprise, and Custom subscribers receive a curated quantum newsletter. We filter 100+ global updates (standards changes, protocol vulnerabilities, regulatory shifts) and deliver only the ones relevant to your specific industry and geographic region.
What does the Air-Gapped / Onsite Custom tier include?
For organizations with the highest security requirements (e.g., defense, critical infrastructure), we deploy a physical Q-Readiness appliance inside your air-gapped network. This includes sending a Q-Readiness engineer onsite to install, configure, and validate the deployment. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Do I have to talk to sales to start?
Absolutely not. The Free tier requires no sales call — just sign up and scan. Upgrade to any paid tier instantly via your dashboard. Only the Custom tier (air-gapped/onsite) requires a conversation.
How does Q-Readiness compare to traditional audits?
Traditional: ~13 weeks, manual spreadsheets. Q-Readiness: AI orchestrates 14 open-source scanners, generates your BOM in minutes, and maps results to 4 global frameworks.
What tools do you use?
We orchestrate 14 open-source scanning tools. All are auditable and open-source — check our GitHub.
What deliverables do I receive?
An interactive BOM dashboard with: 5-section breakdown (Network/Code/Infra/Data/PKI), gap analysis against 4 global standards, prioritized remediation recommendations, and ongoing regulatory alerts.
Do you support air-gapped environments?
Yes. Our Custom tier includes air-gapped deployment with an onsite engineer. Contact us to scope.
