Briefings

Black Kite has added Quantum Readiness controls to its Cyber Rating platform to evaluate third-party vendors' preparedness for post-quantum cryptography. The new feature assesses observable indicators like hybrid key exchange and certificate readiness, integrating results into the SSL/TLS Strength category. This initiative aims to help organizations identify gaps in their supply-chain security and prepare for regulatory mandates, such as NIST's 2030 deadlines for RSA and ECDSA deprecation.

Key points

• Black Kite introduced Quantum Readiness controls within the SSL/TLS Strength category to evaluate third-party vendors' readiness for post-quantum cryptography.
• The feature assesses observable indicators including hybrid post-quantum key exchange, certificate signature readiness, and assets without an identified migration path.

Context

Black Kite, a leader in third-party cyber risk management, released Quantum Readiness controls to address the growing need for supply-chain cryptographic visibility. With regulatory deadlines approaching, such as NIST's 2030 deprecation of RSA and ECDSA, organizations require tools to assess vendor readiness beyond their own systems.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to the press release and internal briefing; specific vendor data or quantitative adoption rates are not provided. The article does not contain quotes from external sources, and the exact impact of the controls on vendor migration timelines remains unverified.
