Platform overview PQC Shield

PQC / CBOM scanning · PQC Gate

Find the cryptography a quantum computer will break, and plan its replacement.

PQC Shield scans your code for quantum-vulnerable cryptography, builds a CycloneDX CBOM, tracks remediation and gives migration designs to ML-KEM and ML-DSA.

What it does

Data and signatures recorded today can be attacked once a large enough quantum computer exists, so anything that must stay secret or authentic for years is already exposed. The first step of any migration is knowing where the vulnerable cryptography is.

PQC Shield gives you that inventory: a cryptography bill of materials (CBOM) in the CycloneDX format, built by scanning your repositories. Each finding is tracked to remediation, with a migration design to ML-KEM and ML-DSA, and reports you can export.

ApexAI uses the same algorithms itself: licences are signed with ML-DSA-87, key exchange uses ML-KEM-1024 and SOC decision policies are signed with ML-DSA-65.

Key capabilities

  • CBOM scanning

    A CycloneDX cryptography bill of materials for your repositories.

  • Risk per finding

    Findings classified by their exposure to harvest-now, decrypt-later.

  • Remediation tracking

    Each finding tracked until it is fixed.

  • Migration designs

    Designs for moving to ML-KEM and ML-DSA.

  • Exportable reports

    Reports to share with engineering, risk and auditors.

  • Feeds governance

    Govern checks that the latest scan shows no broken cryptography and that the inventory is fresh.

How it works

  1. 01

    Assess

    Scan repositories and build the CBOM.

  2. 02

    Remediate

    Track each finding to a fix.

  3. 03

    Design

    Get a migration design to ML-KEM / ML-DSA.

  4. 04

    Report

    Export the result.

The human approval gate

PQC Shield changes nothing by itself: a migration becomes work for your team, not an automatic configuration change.

Where it stands today

The CBOM scanner matches patterns in source code rather than parsing it fully, so treat its inventory as a strong starting point, not a proof of absence.

We scan a repository of your choice with you and walk through the CBOM and the migration design.
