Governance-First Cryptographic Risk Advisory
LaMarr Labs is a strategic cybersecurity advisory focused on post-quantum cryptographic risk, data longevity exposure, and governance clarity.
The firm exists to help leadership teams understand where cryptographic decisions create long-term risk… before those decisions become embedded, contractual, or irreversible.
Our work sits upstream of tooling, implementation, and vendor selection. We operate where cryptography intersects with policy, legal accountability, and enterprise risk ownership.
Why This Perspective Is Different
Post-quantum risk is frequently treated as a future technical problem.
In practice, it is already a present governance problem shaped by how long data must remain secure, how systems depend on third parties, and how cryptographic decisions are owned (or not owned) across an organization.
LaMarr Labs approaches cryptography as a risk system, not a configuration choice.
This perspective allows leadership to distinguish between:
- material exposure that requires action,
- deferred risk that can be sequenced,
- and conditions that warrant monitoring rather than disruption.
Founder & Principal
LaMarr Labs is led by Addie LaMarr, whose background spans 15 years of cryptographic operations, federal risk management, and policy development in high-consequence environments.
Her work has included:
- cryptographic operations and analysis in national security contexts,
- cybersecurity policy and risk management within the U.S. Department of Justice,
- and contribution to federal cryptographic and risk management initiatives, including work writing NIST frameworks and high-value asset (HVA) programs.
Across these environments, a recurring pattern emerged:
cryptographic decisions were routinely decoupled from data longevity, governance ownership, and downstream liability.
LaMarr Labs was formed to close that gap.
What Guides Our Work
LaMarr Labs engagements are shaped by a simple principle:
Cryptography becomes a governance problem long before it becomes a technical one.
Our advisory work prioritizes:
- decision-grade clarity over exhaustive analysis,
- proportional response over premature migration,
- and governance legitimacy over tool-driven urgency.
The result is guidance leadership teams can defend internally, legally, and over time.
How We Engage
LaMarr Labs works with organizations where post-quantum risk has meaningful implications for:
- executive accountability,
- regulatory posture,
- long-term data protection,
- or strategic technology decisions.
Engagements are selective, structured, and designed to stand on their own.
We do not offer generalized consulting, ad-hoc advice, or implementation services.
Request an Initial Briefing
Engagements begin with a short alignment discussion to assess suitability and scope.
If there is mutual fit, a structured proposal is provided.
