Future-proof your cryptographic compliance
The challenges
Challenges to Cryptographic Compliance
Regulatory requirements for cryptography are becoming stricter regarding authorized algorithms, key lengths, certificate management, traceability, and preparedness for quantum threats. Yet in most organizations, cryptography remains fragmented, poorly documented, and difficult to manage. Without centralized visibility and control, demonstrating compliance becomes complex, costly, and risky.
Lack of visibility into cryptography
“We don’t know exactly where cryptography is being used or which algorithms or certificates are actually in production.”
Consequences :
- Hidden or undocumented cryptographic vulnerabilities
- Inability to identify non-compliant usage
- Difficulty in prioritizing remediation
Difficulty in demonstrating compliance
“During audits, we struggle to prove which cryptographic mechanisms we use and whether they comply with the requirements.”
Conséquences:
- Incomplete or unfavorable audit results
- Loss of credibility with regulators and senior management
- Reliance on manual, incomplete, and error-prone reports
Lack of centralized cryptographic governance
“Each team makes its own cryptographic choices without common rules or an overarching framework.”
Consequences:
- Inconsistent security posture across applications and services
- Persistent compliance gaps that are difficult to address
- Fragmented and poorly managed risk management
Ongoing regulatory and technological changes
“Cryptographic requirements are evolving faster than our ability to adapt our systems and practices.”
Consequences:
- Delays in adopting new standards or requirements (e.g., PQC)
- Risk of non-compliance with emerging regulations
- Accumulation of cryptographic debt that is difficult to resolve
“Regulations must remain attuned to developments in cryptanalysis, draw on current best practices and standards, and adopt a flexible approach based on risk monitoring and mitigation in order to address an ever-changing cryptographic threat landscape, including threats related to quantum advancements.”
Our Approach
Secure long-term cryptographic compliance
CryptoNext enables governed, measurable, and continuously updated cryptographic compliance. With complete visibility into cryptographic usage, centralized policies, and a structured, up-to-date inventory, your organization is prepared to address audits, regulatory changes, and new requirements related to the post-quantum transition.
01
Identify and document actual uses
Compliance starts with visibility. Without a comprehensive understanding of the cryptography deployed in your environments, it is impossible to assess your actual exposure or demonstrate compliance to regulators.
CryptoNext COMPASS automatically identifies all algorithms, protocols, certificates, and keys in use, including those that are hidden, undocumented, or derived from third-party dependencies, offering a reliable and comprehensive foundation for undertaking any cryptographic compliance initiative.
02
Create an audit-ready cryptographic inventory
Traceability is at the heart of any rigorous compliance process. CryptoNext Security automatically generates Cryptography Bills of Materials (CBOMs)—structured, continuously updated inventories of your cryptographic assets.
These documents directly address the requirements of auditors and regulators, as well as the traceability obligations imposed by current regulatory frameworks. Gain greater responsiveness during audits and significantly reduce the time spent preparing compliance documentation.
03
Centralize cryptographic policies
The fragmentation of cryptographic practices is one of the leading causes of non-compliance within organizations. When each team or application sets its own rules, discrepancies accumulate and become difficult to detect.
CryptoNext CAPTAIN enables you to define and enforce consistent policies across the entire information system: authorized algorithms, key sizes, and permissible configurations. Eliminate discrepancies, ensure consistent practices, and maintain cryptographic governance that can be audited at any time.
04
Prepare for post-quantum compliance
National regulators and security agencies have set clear deadlines for the transition to post-quantum cryptography. It is crucial to start this project now. CryptoNext Security helps you identify cryptographic practices at risk (obsolete algorithms, vulnerable keys, protocols that do not comply with future standards) and develop a realistic compliance roadmap that takes your priorities into account.
Anticipate changes in regulatory requirements and avoid any non-compliance issues that could jeopardize your business.
Why CryptoNext Security?
Compliance: always ahead of the curve
Take advantage of proven expertise at the core of international standardization
CryptoNext Security is at the forefront of global cryptographic standardization, actively contributing to the work of NIST, the IETF, and MITRE. This unique technical credibility ensures that your cryptographic choices align with current standards and are geared toward the demands of the future.
Streamline regulatory compliance
CryptoNext Security solutions enable organizations to simultaneously address the requirements of DORA, NIS2, and national security agencies, while implementing NIST’s post-quantum standards. This unified approach eliminates siloed regulatory compliance efforts and helps build consistent compliance that applies across the entire scope and stands the test of time.
Maintain an up-to-date and audit-ready cryptographic inventory
CryptoNext COMPASS generates a continuously updated cryptographic inventory, going far beyond a snapshot at a single point in time. You always have an accurate view of your cryptographic assets, which is essential for demonstrating compliance at any time.
Ensure real-time compliance without rewriting your applications
Standards evolve, and so do regulations. CryptoNext CAPTAIN lets you update cryptographic algorithms without rewriting applications. Your compliance adapts in real time to new requirements without the need for a major transformation project or service interruptions.

DORA and NIS2: European Requirements for Post-Quantum Cryptography
In response to the quantum threat, the European Union has set a clear course: the DORA and NIS2 regulations require organizations to start preparing now for post-quantum cryptography. This article explores regulatory obligations through the lens of cryptography, outlines concrete technical recommendations, and details the key steps to ensure compliance, security, and resilience.
Cryptographic Discovery: The First Step Toward Post-Quantum Resilience
Cryptographic assets remain one of the least visible yet most critical parts of today’s digital infrastructure. As the quantum threat intensifies and regulations evolve, cryptographic discovery becomes a foundational step, enabling organizations to gain visibility, reduce risk, and prepare for a secure transition to post-quantum cryptography.
Cryptography Is The Foundation Of Digital Trust
Cryptography is the root of digital trust. If it fails, signatures, transactions, and encrypted data become vulnerable. In the face of quantum threats, a clear cryptographic inventory is the essential first step to protect your organization.
