As post-quantum readiness emerges as a critical concern in cybersecurity, organisations are being challenged to understand and prepare for future risks.
Encryption is a cornerstone of modern digital operations, securing everything from customer transactions to cloud services. Yet, many companies lack insight into their cryptographic infrastructures, exposing them to significant risks including the threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later'.
Quantum security initiatives
The European Union Commission and member states have delineated a clear post-quantum cryptography (PQC) roadmap and introduced NIS2 mandates requiring cryptographic inventories and agile responses to cryptographic risks. This regulatory environment places an increasing onus on organisations to adequately prepare for future quantum threats. In response, cybersecurity firm Integrity360 has teamed up with Venari Security to address these challenges through a comprehensive quantum security platform.
Integrity360 and Venari Security's partnership leverages Integrity360's expertise in cyber resilience and security management, alongside Venari's Adaptive Cryptographic Intelligence Platform. This collaboration aims to help organisations gain a complete understanding of their cryptographic assets, dependencies, and vulnerabilities, transitioning from one-time assessments to ongoing cryptographic risk management. Key areas of focus include identifying weak and obsolete cryptographic systems, enhancing visibility over time, and integrating cryptographic details into broader security programs.

Richard Ford, Chief Technology Officer at Integrity360, highlighted the urgency of this transitional phase, stating: "The conversation around post-quantum security is accelerating, but many organisations are still at the stage of understanding where cryptography exists, what it protects, and which systems matter most. Before you can plan for the future, you need visibility of the present.” Through collaboration, these companies aim to offer structured solutions in managing cryptographic risks.
Tom Millar, Chief Executive Officer at Venari, remarked on the challenges faced by organisations, noting: "Organisations are drowning in cryptographic data and have no idea what to do with it. Discovery alone is no longer sufficient. The question CISO's are being asked by their board is: what do we fix, in what order, and how do we do it safely without breaking the business?” By partnering with Integrity360, Venari seeks to provide a scalable solution, combining their intelligence capabilities with Integrity360's comprehensive managed security services.
Sustaining cyber resilience
Greater transparency into cryptographic operations is becoming crucial as businesses prepare for a quantum-safe future.
With evolving regulatory demands, the capability to consistently evaluate and manage cryptographic risk is now recognised as an essential aspect of cyber resilience. The Integrity360 and Venari Security partnership offers a pathway for organisations to make immediate improvements while strategically planning for future cryptographic challenges.
Post-quantum readiness has become one of the most talked-about challenges in cybersecurity. The problem for many organisations is that they are being asked to prepare for the future before they fully understand the risks that exist today.
Encryption underpins everything from customer transactions and cloud services to critical business operations. Yet many organisations lack visibility into where cryptography exists across their environments, what data it protects, and how exposure could affect resilience, compliance, or future transformation programmes. The threat of harvest now, decrypt later is already a present risk.
Quantum security platform
In addition, EU Commission and member states endorsement of a defined PQC roadmap alongside NIS2 mandates for cryptographic inventories, crypto-agility, and national PQC transition policies is increasing pressure for organisations to get serious about the challenge. Failing to plan for PQC is increasingly hard to defend in a NIS2 audit and DORA supervisors are now treating quantum risk awareness as part of ICT risk management with expectation of EU roadmap alignment.
To help organisations address that challenge, cybersecurity specialist Integrity360 has partnered with quantum security platform Venari Security. The partnership combines Integrity360's cyber resilience, managed security and advisory expertise with Venari's Adaptive Cryptographic Intelligence Platform, helping organisations gain a clearer understanding of cryptographic assets, dependencies and risk across complex environments.
Cryptographic risk management
Together, Integrity360 and Venari will support organisations in moving beyond one-off discovery exercises and towards a more continuous approach to cryptographic risk management. This includes helping clients:
- Discover and understand cryptographic assets and dependencies across their environments
- Identify weak, legacy or potentially non-compliant cryptographic implementations
- Build visibility of cryptographic exposure and resilience over time
- Integrate cryptographic risk into wider security, governance and resilience programmes
- Develop practical transition plans for post-quantum cryptography
Post-quantum cryptography
Richard Ford, Chief Technology Officer at Integrity360, said: "The conversation around post-quantum security is accelerating, but many organisations are still at the stage of understanding where cryptography exists, what it protects, and which systems matter most.”
“Before you can plan for the future, you need visibility of the present. By partnering with Venari Security, we can help organisations build that understanding and take a structured approach to managing cryptographic risk over time."
Managed security capability
Tom Millar, Chief Executive Officer at Venari, said: "Organisations are drowning in cryptographic data and have no idea what to do with it. Discovery alone is no longer sufficient. The question CISO's are being asked by their board is: what do we fix, in what order, and how do we do it safely without breaking the business? That is the entire game.”
“Partnering with Integrity360 means we can now answer that question at scale, combining the intelligence layer Venari provides with the advisory depth and managed security capability that turns insight into action."
Managing cryptographic risk
The need for greater visibility has become a recurring theme in discussions around post-quantum readiness. As regulatory expectations evolve and organisations begin planning for a quantum-safe future, the ability to continuously assess and manage cryptographic risk is becoming an increasingly important component of cyber resilience.
Through this partnership, Integrity360 and Venari Security will help organisations take practical steps today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.
