PHASE 05 — RETIRE THE OLD

Decommission RSA and ECC as partners catch up. Prove it with attestation. Report quarterly to board and regulators.

Why it matters

MIGRATION WITHOUT RETIREMENT ISN'T MIGRATION

Running hybrid indefinitely means paying twice and trusting twice. The value is only unlocked when you decommission the classical primitive — safely, provably, and with audit evidence.

Our approach

PROVE IT, THEN TURN IT OFF

  • 01

    Attestation gates

    Per-endpoint attestation that PQC is active before classical is disabled. No silent fallback.

  • 02

    Canary decommissioning

    Disable classical in one tier, measure impact, roll forward. Roll back is always one toggle away.

  • 03

    Regulator-ready evidence

    Immutable logs showing the when, where, and how of every algorithm transition. Sign-offs captured.

  • 04

    Quarterly board report

    PQC posture, outstanding classical exposure, partner catch-up status — in a format your board reads.
