Post-quantum readiness plannerShelf life · Migration time · Quantum horizon

Answer ten questions you can answer from what you already know, such as how long your data must stay secret and how long a change would take. QASO (Quantum Agentic Security Operations) writes down the shelf life, migration time, and horizon you enter, and returns advisory next steps for post-quantum cryptography (PQC): new encryption and signature algorithms designed to resist attacks by quantum computers. It does not scan your systems, discover your cryptography, choose a migration, or carry one out.

01 · Data shelf life, in years (you enter it; this planner does not discover your cryptography)

How long must your protected data stay confidential?

Data captured today can be stored now and decrypted once a quantum computer exists (harvest now, decrypt later). Pick the longest that applies to you.
