London, United Kingdom - 30th April, 2026 - Quantum Security and Defence (QSECDEF) today announced the early-version release of 17 free quantum security assessment and planning tools, designed to help organisations understand their exposure to quantum-enabled cryptographic risk and begin planning for post-quantum migration.
The new tools are available through the QSECDEF website and cover a broad range of use cases, including executive risk assessment, post-quantum cryptography migration planning, harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure, cryptographic asset prioritisation, blockchain quantum exposure, OT protocol vulnerability, SATCOM and command-and-control readiness, and early-stage sales qualification for PQC, QKD, QRNG, and related technologies.
The release comes as governments, critical infrastructure operators, financial institutions, defence organisations, and technology vendors accelerate preparations for the transition to post-quantum cryptography. While awareness of the quantum threat has increased significantly, many organisations still lack simple ways to assess where their current cryptographic risk may sit.
“Quantum security is moving from a future-facing research topic to a practical governance, risk, and infrastructure issue,” said Steve Vaile, Director at Quantum Security and Defence. “We created these tools to help organisations move beyond general awareness and begin asking better operational questions: which assets are exposed, which protocols matter, which algorithms are vulnerable, and where should migration planning begin?”
The toolset is designed to provide a structured snapshot, rather than replace formal technical assessment. Users can generate practical outputs to support board-level discussion, internal planning, security architecture reviews, customer discovery, and sector-level readiness analysis.
The 17 tools are grouped across six areas: executive and risk tools, security team tools, sales and VAR tools, blockchain tools, operational technology tools, and defence and space tools. Each group addresses specific needs, from business leaders assessing cryptographic exposure to OT engineers evaluating protocol-level quantum risk.
“These tools are intended to improve the quality of the quantum security conversation,” added Anna Beata Kalisz Hedegaard, CEO of Quantum Security Defence. “The market does not need more vague warnings. It needs structured ways to assess exposure, understand migration priorities, and communicate readiness gaps clearly.”
The free tools are available now through the Quantum Security and Defence website.
