COMET
Federal Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness Program
Powered by COMET (Cryptographic Object Migration Evaluation Tool)
The release of **OMB Memorandum M-26-15, Execution of the Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography, signals the beginning of the Federal Government's operational transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. Federal agencies are now expected to identify cryptographic dependencies, prioritize high-value systems, establish governance, and execute enterprise-wide migration strategies.
Zeichner Risk Analytics (ZRA) has developed COMET (Cryptographic Object Migration Evaluation Tool) to help organizations meet these requirements. COMET combines executive education, cryptographic discovery, risk analysis, migration planning, and implementation support into a single, structured methodology that enables agencies and contractors to move from policy to execution.
Regulatory Compliance Consulting
COMET Regulatory Compliance Consulting helps organizations prepare for evolving post-quantum cryptography requirements, federal guidance, industry expectations, and audit-readiness needs. ZRA works with leadership, cybersecurity, compliance, legal, acquisition, and mission teams to help organizations understand how PQC requirements may affect their systems, programs, contracts, and long-term risk posture.
Through COMET, ZRA helps organizations identify cryptographic dependencies, assess vulnerable systems, document risk-based decisions, and align migration planning with applicable guidance and standards. This support helps organizations create a more organized and defensible approach to cryptographic risk management.
COMET is designed to help organizations move beyond compliance checklists by connecting regulatory expectations to practical operational decisions. The result is a clearer path for demonstrating readiness, supporting internal governance, preparing for audits, and planning a transition to quantum-resilient security.
