Cryptographic Footprint Scanner for Mid-Market IT Teams
An app that scans infrastructure, code repositories, and credential stores to map cryptographic assets, flag vulnerabilities, and prioritize migration to quantum-safe standards.
Validated on June 22, 2026
The quantum readiness deadline is real and approaching, but mid-market IT teams lack tools to inventory their crypto assets. The pain is genuine: compliance pressure from RFPs and audits, but no easy way to map RSA keys, outdated TLS, and vulnerable dependencies. Hard part is building parsers for diverse formats and earning trust with read-only access. Success requires landing 5 pilots quickly and proving 95% accuracy against manual audits.

Mid-market IT teams lack inventory of crypto assets across hybrid environments. Google's 2029 deadline gives procurement a hard date to justify spending. NIST migration standards provide a clear framework for risk classification.
Google's 2029 deadline creates a hard procurement timeline for IT teams. NIST standards provide a clear framework for risk classification. Mid-market IT teams lack automated crypto inventory tools.
Regulatory tailwind and deadline Ignorance leads to future data breach
Why now
Heuristic scoring based on model judgment, not factual measurement.
AI can help parse crypto formats Quantum readiness is board-level topic Few tools target mid-market quantum
The market timing is favorable: regulatory deadlines and growing demand for crypto inventory tools create a clear window. However, mid-market adoption is still early, requiring education and trust-building.
