How We Work

Structured post-quantum advisory engagements designed for executive clarity

LaMarr Labs provides strategic post-quantum advisory focused on cryptographic risk, data longevity exposure, and governance clarity.

As quantum capabilities advance, a widening gap emerges between how long data must remain secure and how long existing cryptography can realistically protect it. That gap creates material risk that is difficult to see, difficult to explain, and rarely owned by a single team.

Our role is to make that risk visible before it becomes irreversible.

We operate upstream of tooling and implementation, translating cryptographic realities into decision-grade intelligence executives and boards can act on with confidence.

Strategic Risk Assessment

We focus on identifying where post-quantum risk is concentrated- combining cryptographic exposure, data retention horizons, and external dependencies into a clear risk signal leadership can act on.

Decision-Grade Intelligence

Our outputs are designed for executive, legal, and board audiences, translating cryptographic realities into governance-relevant insight rather than technical documentation.

Sequenced, Defensible Transitions

We provide phased transition intelligence aligned to vendor readiness, operational constraints, and regulatory posture- without forcing premature or disruptive change.

Initial Risk Signal Engagement

The initial engagement is designed to answer one question:

“Where does post-quantum risk actually exist in our organization?”

This engagement establishes a clear, defensible risk signal across systems, data classes, and cryptographic dependencies, allowing leadership to distinguish between:

  • material exposure
  • deferred risk
  • monitoring-only conditions

Rather than assuming universal urgency, this phase identifies where action is required and where it is not.

Initial Risk Engagement Produces
  • A structured cryptographic reality map across the enterprise
  • Identification of long-lived data exposed to delayed compromise
  • Visibility into vendor and contract-constrained cryptographic dependencies
  • A board-ready risk briefing suitable for executive, legal, and audit review

This engagement is time-bounded, fixed in scope, and designed to stand on its own.
It does not require continuation into subsequent phases to be valuable.

Transition Intelligence

Where the Initial Risk Signal Engagement identifies material post-quantum exposure, organizations may elect to proceed into a transition intelligence phase.

This phase focuses on translating identified risk into defensible, sequenced action– without assuming immediate cryptographic replacement or disruptive change.

Transition intelligence is shaped by three realities:

  • Data longevity: how long sensitive data must remain protected
  • Vendor readiness: constraints imposed by third-party platforms and contracts
  • Operational feasibility: what can be changed without destabilizing core systems
Transition Intelligence Delivers
  • A phased post-quantum transition roadmap aligned to real organizational constraints
  • Clear ownership boundaries across security, legal, platform, and vendor stakeholders
  • Timelines that reflect governance risk, not theoretical cryptographic urgency
  • Decision context leadership can use to guide budget allocation, vendor engagement, and long-term planning

The outcome is a defensible roadmap leadership can stand behind internally and externally.

Participation in this phase is optional and contingent on findings from the initial engagement. Transition intelligence is scoped, time-bounded, and designed to support executive decision-making.

Ongoing Advisory

Ongoing advisory engagements are designed for organizations with sustained post-quantum exposure, complex vendor ecosystems, or extended transition horizons.

Rather than accelerating change, this engagement provides continuity, validation, and governance reinforcement as systems, vendors, and cryptographic standards evolve over time.

Ongoing advisory focuses on maintaining decision integrity across multi-year horizons, ensuring that early risk assessments, transition roadmaps, and governance assumptions remain valid as conditions change.

This engagement is not operational delivery.
It functions as independent oversight for leadership navigating long-lived cryptographic risk.

Ongoing Advisory Provides
  • Continuity across multi-year transition efforts
  • Oversight of vendor representations and roadmap claims
  • Governance reinforcement as systems and dependencies evolve
  • Independent validation during implementation phases

Ongoing advisory is offered selectively based on organizational need, risk profile, and transition scope.

What This Work Is… and Is Not

LaMarr Labs provides post-quantum risk clarity and governance intelligence.

What This Work Is

  • Post-quantum risk clarity
  • Cryptographic governance intelligence
  • Executive and legal decision support
  • Defensible risk framing and sequencing

What This Work Is Not

  • Ad-hoc advisory or exploratory consulting

Request an Initial Briefing

Engagements begin with a short alignment discussion to determine suitability, scope, and timing.

If there is mutual fit, a structured engagement proposal is provided.
