Cryptographic Discovery and Inventory

Finding every place your organization uses cryptography, and turning the result into a CBOM an auditor accepts.

  • Design a discovery program that covers network, code, endpoint, cloud and purchased systems
  • Choose discovery techniques appropriate to each layer and understand their blind spots
  • Produce a cryptographic bill of materials with the fields that make it actionable
  • Prioritize findings by data lifetime, criticality and remediation control
  • Keep the inventory current rather than letting it become a one-time snapshot
