CyberSeQ Launches Quantum Resiliency Process™ for Enterprises

CyberSeQ has launched the Quantum Resiliency Process™ (CQRP™), an enterprise-grade framework designed to migrate organizational systems to post-quantum cryptographic standards. This structured, phased method addresses risks posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers—potentially emerging in the 2030s—which threaten current cryptographic infrastructure via algorithms like Shor’s. CQRP™ establishes a foundation for enterprise-wide migration, defining strategic objectives, risk boundaries, and regulatory context, while incorporating NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards, including FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SPHINCS+). The initial framework, released November 20, 2025, includes a comprehensive methodology and algorithm library.

CyberSeQ Quantum Resiliency Process™ (CQRP™) Overview

The CyberSeQ Quantum Resiliency Process™ (CQRP™) is an enterprise-grade framework designed to help organizations transition to post-quantum cryptographic standards. It’s a phased approach intended to mitigate risks posed by the emergence of cryptographically relevant quantum computers, predicted as early as the 2030s. CQRP™ establishes objectives, defines risk boundaries, and considers regulatory context before architectural redesign begins, ensuring clear alignment for a secure transition across digital infrastructures.

CQRP™ consists of four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition. The process begins by establishing enterprise objectives and quantifying quantum risk, identifying long-lived data classes. Later phases involve designing PQC architecture, validating NIST-approved algorithms like ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SPHINCS+, and implementing hybrid cryptography – for example, combining X25519 with ML-KEM.

Ultimately, CQRP™ aims to fully migrate production systems to post-quantum cryptography. This includes decommissioning older cryptographic components like RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC, and establishing continuous monitoring of cryptographic posture. The framework was initially released on November 20, 2025, as the Foundation Release (Version 1.0.0) and includes a comprehensive PQC migration methodology and feedback system.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards and Mandates

The CyberSeQ Quantum Resiliency Process™ (CQRP™) is an enterprise framework designed to help organizations migrate to post-quantum cryptographic standards. It’s a phased approach intended to mitigate risks posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers, which could potentially break current systems like RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic curve cryptography. CQRP™ focuses on establishing objectives, defining risk boundaries, and ensuring alignment before any architectural redesign or implementation begins, with a first release date of November 20, 2025.

Several bodies are issuing mandates or recommendations for post-quantum cryptography migration. NIST has finalized post-quantum cryptography standards including FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SPHINCS+). The NSA’s CNSA 2.0 requirements mandate PQC migration for National Security Systems between 2025 and 2033. Furthermore, the European Union released Recommendation 2024/1101 for a coordinated PQC transition, supported by the NIS Cooperation Group and ENISA guidance.

CQRP™ is structured into four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition. The Construction phase specifically involves implementing hybrid cryptography, such as combining X25519 with ML-KEM. This also includes deploying PQC-ready
