Key takeaways

What’s inside the guide

What separates a complete cryptographic posture platform from a partial one, and how to tell before you sign.

You can’t protect what you can’t see

Discovery is the foundation on which everything else depends. The highest-leverage first investment is a complete cryptographic inventory, not another point tool.

A certificate manager isn’t a CBOM

If it can’t see keys in source code, HSMs, and databases, it’s a certificate manager wearing a CBOM label. Coverage breadth is the test that exposes the difference.

The deadline is already here

NIST’s 2030–2035 PQC timeline, plus “harvest now, decrypt later,” means long-lived data is exposed today. A CBOM is where any credible migration begins.
