Welcome to the NC3 self-assessment tool: Survey PQCReadiness.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness refers to the practice of preparing computer systems, networks, and sensitive information for protection against future threats posed by quantum computing. Advances in quantum technologies are expected to break widely used cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and ECC, creating potential vulnerabilities across digital infrastructures. This makes PQC readiness essential for businesses of all sizes, since even small organizations could face risks with serious financial, reputational, and regulatory consequences. By proactively planning the transition to quantum-safe cryptographic solutions, SMEs can safeguard their digital assets, ensure long-term resilience, and maintain the trust of their customers and partners.

This questionnaire is intended for all businesses, to capture their perspective on PQC readiness and quantum-safe security solutions. Our objective is not to audit companies individually — this questionnaire is anonymous — but to evaluate the overall ecosystem’s readiness and awareness regarding the importance of initiating early considerations for PQC.

The study is the work product of the Data For Research, Innovation, and Governance (D4RIG) team of the National Cybersecurity Competence Center of the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity.
