Swiss cybersecurity firm DuoKey has launched a Quantum Risk Score, offering organizations a quantifiable metric to assess their vulnerability to future quantum computing threats. The assessment produces an index from 0 to 100, evaluating an organization’s publicly observable cryptographic footprint against emerging post-quantum standards; it requires no internal system access for a rapid, auditable result. With the NSA’s CNSA 2.0 mandate taking effect, regulatory pressure is mounting for enterprises to address post-quantum cryptography, a challenge DuoKey claims is hampered by a lack of clarity. The Quantum Risk Score aims to provide both leadership and technical teams with a defined path toward compliance and remediation.
DuoKey’s Quantum Risk Score Assesses Post-Quantum Cryptography Exposure
The accelerating development of quantum computing presents a clear and present danger to current encryption methods, and organizations are increasingly focused on assessing their exposure. However, a quantifiable metric for preparedness has been absent until now. Swiss cybersecurity firm DuoKey has addressed this gap with the launch of its Quantum Risk Score (QRS), a new assessment designed to provide enterprises with a single, auditable measure of their post-quantum cryptographic readiness. The timing is critical, as the NSA’s CNSA 2.0 mandate takes effect, establishing a regulatory deadline for organizations to transition to quantum-resistant algorithms. DuoKey’s QRS generates an index ranging from 0 to 100, offering a streamlined way to represent an organization’s vulnerability and progress toward post-quantum migration. Unlike traditional security audits, the QRS assessment operates exclusively on publicly observable signals, eliminating the need for access to internal systems and reducing potential disruption or cost.
This non-invasive approach is a key differentiator, allowing organizations to obtain a defensible risk profile without extensive internal reviews. Each assessment culminates in a comprehensive report detailing a cryptographic inventory, a prioritized migration matrix, and a regulatory gap analysis aligned with frameworks like NIST, CNSA 2.0, NCSC, ANSSI, and BSI. The firm emphasizes that the challenge isn’t a lack of awareness regarding the quantum threat, but rather a lack of clarity regarding an organization’s specific vulnerabilities. The QRS is designed to bridge this gap, providing leadership with a credible snapshot of current exposure and technical teams with a clear roadmap for remediation. Organizations can initiate a free assessment at resources.duokey.com/pqc-scan and, following the scan, request a 30-minute debrief with the DuoKey team to discuss the results and potential next steps.
The QRS evaluates an organisation’s observable domain surface against current post-quantum standards and produces a composite index from 0 to 100.
