Why organisations choose QSA.
PQC transition is a once-in-a-generation cryptographic change. The advisory firm you engage needs deep technical capability, government-grade experience, and zero conflicts of interest. QSA was built for exactly this.
Our principals have held cryptographic governance roles inside Commonwealth agencies and possess active security clearances. We do not parachute in generalists — we deploy practitioners who have operated in the environments they are assessing.
QSA is a pure advisory practice. We have no product revenue, no vendor agreements, and no incentive to recommend any particular PQC toolset. Our recommendations are determined entirely by your estate and your risk profile.
Every engagement produces discrete, standalone artefacts that your organisation owns unconditionally. We design our deliverables to persist — and to survive QSA's departure from the engagement.
We do not retrofit ASD compliance as a checklist exercise. Our methodology was designed from the ground up against the ASD ISM, PSPF, and the 2026–2030 PQC mandate timeline — so alignment is structural, not cosmetic.
Most advisory practices cannot credibly assess operational technology environments. QSA has a dedicated OT cryptography capability, with practitioners who understand ICS, SCADA, and the asset-lifetime constraints that make OT environments categorically different.
We write for boards and for engineers in the same engagement. Our deliverables bridge the governance narrative required at the executive level and the technical specificity required to populate a backlog — without producing two separate documents.
