As post-quantum readiness emerges as a significant topic in cybersecurity, organizations are grappling with preparing for future risks without yet fully understanding current vulnerabilities. Encryption is critical for customer transactions, cloud services, and essential business functions, yet many organizations struggle with identifying where cryptography exists within their infrastructure and the risks associated with lacking visibility. The immediate threat of "harvest now, decrypt later" exacerbates concerns.
In response, Integrity360, a cyber resilience and security advisory firm, has formed a strategic partnership with Venari Security, renowned for its Adaptive Cryptographic Intelligence Platform. This collaboration aims to enhance organizations' understanding of cryptographic assets, dependencies, and risks in complex environments.
Quantum Security Platform
The European Union's PQC roadmap, supported by the EU Commission and member states, along with NIS2 mandates on cryptographic inventories and national PQC transition policies, is urging organizations to address post-quantum challenges seriously. Ignoring PQC planning now poses significant risks during NIS2 audits, while DORA supervisors incorporate quantum risk awareness into ICT risk management, expecting alignment with the EU roadmap.
Integrity360 and Venari's alliance offers organizations a pathway beyond sporadic cryptographic assessments towards a continuous cryptographic risk management strategy. This approach covers the discovery of cryptographic resources and dependencies, pinpointing weak or outdated cryptographic systems, and fostering visibility over time. Moreover, the collaboration aims to integrate cryptographic threat management into broader security and resilience programs and develop pragmatic strategies for post-quantum cryptography.

Richard Ford, Chief Technology Officer at Integrity360, emphasized the evolving conversation around post-quantum security, underscoring the importance of understanding current cryptographic placements and protections: "Before you can plan for the future, you need visibility of the present. By partnering with Venari Security, we can help organizations build that understanding and take a structured approach to managing cryptographic risk over time.”
Tom Millar, CEO of Venari, highlighted the challenges organizations face with managing cryptographic data: "Organizations 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 increasing regulatory demands and the quest for a quantum-secure future underscore the need for enhanced visibility and continuous cryptographic risk management, a recurring theme in post-quantum readiness discussions.
Through the Integrity360 and Venari partnership, organizations can initiate actionable steps today while anticipating tomorrow’s challenges, leading to robust cyber resilience.
Post-quantum readiness has become one of the most talked-about challenges in cybersecurity. The problem for many organizations 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 organizations 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.

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 organizations 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 organizations 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 organizations gain a clearer understanding of cryptographic assets, dependencies and risk across complex environments.
Cryptographic risk management
Together, Integrity360 and Venari will support organizations 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 organizations 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 organizations build that understanding and take a structured approach to managing cryptographic risk over time."

Tom Millar, Chief Executive Officer at Venari, said: "Organizations 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 organizations 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 organizations take practical steps today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.
