Quantum Readiness Assessment · Derby
Quantum Readiness Assessment in Derby
Assessing what Derby organisations should do about quantum computing, where the near-term risk is not a machine breaking your encryption tomorrow. It is that traffic captured today can be stored and decrypted later — so data whose confidentiality must survive a decade is exposed by an event that has not happened yet.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nobody can say which systems use which cryptography, so no migration could be planned even if it were urgent.
What you get
What we deliver
- A cryptographic inventory — what algorithms are used, where, and by which systems
- Data classified by how long its confidentiality genuinely needs to last
- Exposure identified where long-lived secrets travel over interceptable channels
- Supplier positions established, since much of your cryptography is in their products
- Migration sequenced against the published post-quantum standards
- Crypto-agility improved, so the next algorithm change is not another project

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Quantum Readiness Assessment in Derby — common questions
- What is harvest now, decrypt later?
- Capturing encrypted traffic today in the expectation of decrypting it once capable machines exist. It makes the timing question different from the usual one — the relevant date is not when quantum computers arrive but how long your data must stay confidential from now.
- Which data is actually at risk?
- Anything with a long secrecy requirement. Medical records, legal matters, state and defence material, intellectual property and long-term financial arrangements all matter in ten years, whereas today's stock levels or a delivery schedule do not.
- Why start with an inventory?
- Because you cannot migrate what you cannot find. Cryptography sits in applications, appliances, embedded devices and supplier products, much of it undocumented, and building that picture is the slow part of the work rather than choosing replacement algorithms.
- Is this urgent?
- For most organisations it is important and not urgent, and treating it otherwise sells fear. The proportionate response now is knowing what you have, identifying genuinely long-lived secrets and being able to change algorithms without a rebuild — not replacing working cryptography this year.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
