COMET
Cryptographic Object Migration Evaluation Tool
Quantum computing creates new risk for organizations that rely on encryption to protect sensitive information, mission systems, and critical operations. COMET helps organizations prepare for post-quantum cryptography by assessing cryptographic risk, identifying vulnerable systems, developing inventories, supporting compliance readiness, and creating a practical path toward quantum-resilient security.
PQC Readiness & Gap Analysis
COMET PQC Readiness & Gap Analysis helps organizations understand their current cryptographic posture and identify what must be addressed before migration. ZRA works with leadership, cybersecurity teams, IT personnel, compliance staff, and mission owners to evaluate cryptographic assets, system dependencies, threat exposure, resource needs, and organizational readiness.
Through COMET, ZRA helps organizations identify vulnerable systems, assess gaps in cryptographic inventory data, evaluate alignment with emerging PQC standards, and prioritize areas requiring additional analysis or remediation. This process creates a clearer baseline for decision-making and helps organizations understand where they are prepared, where they are exposed, and what actions should come next.
COMET is designed to turn a complex and uncertain transition into a practical set of findings that leadership can use to guide planning, budgeting, compliance readiness, and migration decisions. The result is a focused readiness assessment that supports a more organized path toward quantum-resilient security.
COMET PQC Readiness & Gap Analysis Services include:
- Current cryptographic posture review
- Cryptographic asset and dependency analysis
- PQC readiness assessment
- Vulnerability and exposure identification
- Inventory completeness review
- Resource and capability gap assessment
- Compliance and standards alignment review
- Risk-based prioritization of gaps
- Recommended next steps for migration planning
Migration Roadmap
COMET Migration Roadmap helps organizations turn cryptographic inventory findings, readiness assessments, and risk analysis into a practical plan for post-quantum cryptography migration. ZRA works with leadership, cybersecurity teams, IT personnel, compliance staff, acquisition teams, and mission owners to identify priorities, sequence activities, and align migration planning with operational needs and available resources.
Through COMET, ZRA helps organizations determine which systems, applications, assets, and cryptographic dependencies should be addressed first. The roadmap considers mission criticality, threat exposure, compliance requirements, technical dependencies, vendor considerations, budget constraints, and implementation timelines to support informed decision-making.
COMET is designed to help organizations move from assessment to action with a phased and realistic transition strategy. The result is a tailored PQC migration roadmap that gives leadership a clear path for prioritizing investments, coordinating stakeholders, reducing disruption, and advancing toward quantum-resilient security.
COMET Migration Roadmap Services include:
- Prioritized PQC migration planning
- System and asset sequencing
- Risk-based migration prioritization
- Resource and budget planning support
- Mission and operational impact analysis
- Vendor and solution planning support
- Compliance and reporting alignment
- Implementation timeline development
- Executive decision-support materials
Migration Support & Execution
COMET Migration Support & Execution helps organizations move from planning into implementation with a structured, risk-informed approach to post-quantum cryptography migration. ZRA works with leadership, cybersecurity teams, IT personnel, compliance staff, acquisition teams, vendors, and mission owners to support phased deployment, coordination, testing, and operational decision-making.
Through COMET, ZRA helps organizations prepare for system upgrades, evaluate solution options, coordinate with cryptographic vendors, address integration challenges, and manage dependencies across applications, systems, services, protocols, certificates, and key management infrastructure. This support helps organizations reduce disruption while maintaining security, continuity, and compliance readiness throughout the migration process.
COMET is designed to help organizations execute PQC migration in a practical and manageable way. The result is implementation support that connects the migration roadmap to real-world execution, helping organizations advance toward quantum-resilient security while adapting to changing standards, technologies, and operational needs.
COMET Migration Support & Execution Services include:
- Phased migration implementation support
- Vendor coordination and solution evaluation
- System upgrade planning
- Integration and dependency support
- Testing and validation support
- Hybrid cryptographic transition planning
- Fallback and continuity planning
- Operational risk management
- Migration progress tracking and reporting
Ongoing Guidance & Program Support
COMET Ongoing Guidance & Program Support helps organizations maintain momentum as post-quantum cryptography standards, federal guidance, technology options, and quantum-related threats continue to evolve. ZRA works with leadership, cybersecurity teams, IT personnel, compliance staff, acquisition teams, and mission owners to keep PQC planning aligned with organizational priorities, regulatory expectations, and operational realities.
Through COMET, ZRA helps organizations maintain cryptographic visibility, update inventories, refine migration priorities, monitor changes in guidance and standards, and support continued stakeholder alignment. This ongoing support helps organizations adapt their PQC program over time rather than treating migration as a one-time planning effort.
COMET is designed to support the long-term management of cryptographic risk. The result is a sustained program support model that helps organizations track progress, adjust roadmaps, train stakeholders, support governance, and continue advancing toward quantum-resilient security.
COMET Ongoing Guidance & Program Support Services include:
- Ongoing cryptographic posture management
- Periodic PQC readiness reassessments
- Cryptographic inventory updates
- Roadmap refinement and reprioritization
- Federal guidance and standards monitoring
- Executive reporting and decision support
- Stakeholder training and refreshers
