The transition to post-quantum cryptography isn't optional, it's a compliance imperative with hard deadlines. Pan Galactic helps space operators, defence primes, and critical infrastructure organisations understand their exposure, build a credible roadmap, and implement quantum-safe architectures before the window closes.
Adversaries are capturing encrypted communications today, intending to decrypt them once scalable quantum computers exist. This "harvest-now, decrypt-later" threat means the risk to your data is not hypothetical, it is already accumulating. And the regulatory clock is ticking.
NIST finalised the first production-ready post-quantum algorithms FIPS 203, 204, and 205 marking the start of the formal migration era.
The UK NCSC published its PQC migration roadmap, setting out a three-phase path to quantum-resistant encryption across the national infrastructure.
Target date for deprecating 112-bit classical security algorithms. Hybrid PQC deployments will need to be well underway across regulated sectors.
Classical public-key cryptography is expected to be effectively disallowed in many regulated contexts. PQC-native deployments will be the baseline requirement.
Generic cryptography consultancies understand algorithms. They don't understand the constraints of on-orbit hardware, the demands of mission-critical uptime, or what a supply-chain compromise means at scale. We do.
We design for environments where rip-and-replace is impossible; on-orbit assets, constrained hardware, TT&C links, and long-life missions that cannot afford cryptographic failure.
NIST, NCSC, NATO, ISO, ETSI, and ECSS, we translate abstract regulatory timelines into concrete, auditable roadmaps your compliance and legal teams can act on.
Our engagements are tied to measurable outputs, risk reduction, compliance readiness, and mission assurance, not billable hours on a spreadsheet.
Our consultancy is informed by real product development. Where appropriate, GalacticOS and our blockchain integrity layer can accelerate your transition from roadmap to reality.
We operate across the UK, US and European space and defence ecosystem; speaking the language of mission assurance, sovereign control, and sovereign capability from day one.
Our Quantum-Safe Transformation Model is a five-level framework tuned for space, defence, and critical infrastructure. Each level has defined deliverables, clear audiences, and a role in your overall migration programme.
We establish the quantum threat in the context of your specific missions and platforms. You receive a quantum-threat heatmap, a regulatory alignment map, and a high-level investment roadmap giving leadership the clarity to act.
We produce a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) across your space and ground assets, map every cryptographic use case, and develop a wave-based migration plan aligned with NCSC and NIST timelines.
We establish the governance framework, decision authority model, and mission-readiness gates that ensure no platform launches or deploys without a verified PQC roadmap and key-management plan in place.
We deliver hybrid cryptography patterns for constrained environments, integration designs for quantum-safe tooling, automated CBOM pipelines, and CI/CD policies for cryptographic agility ready for your engineering teams to implement.
We build the runbooks, continuity plans, and audit artefact packs that give regulators, primes, and insurers the evidence they need and give you the operational confidence that your cryptographic estate stays secure across the full mission lifecycle.
Our services are productised and tiered to make it straightforward to engage and to scale as your programme matures. Pricing is developed on a case-by-case basis depending on the size and complexity of your organisation.
A rapid, structured assessment for organisations that need a first view of their cryptographic posture. Includes discovery, a CBOM-light, a risk heatmap, and a high-level roadmap aligned with NIST and NCSC timelines. Suitable for SMEs through to enterprise.
A deep-dive for satellite operators, constellation builders, defence primes, and critical infrastructure operators. Covers full CBOM, mission-centric risk modelling, PQC migration design, and governance mapping to NIST, NCSC, NATO, ECSS, ISO, and ETSI.
For organisations ready to move from roadmap to architecture. We provide detailed design, policy writing, implementation oversight, and handover — with optional integration of Pan Galactic quantum-safe tooling.
Ongoing fractional advisory for organisations that need continuous standards tracking, governance support, and roadmap refreshes. Available from light-touch advisory through to a deeply embedded programme partner.
Our consultancy work is grounded in the standards and regulatory bodies that matter to space, defence, and critical infrastructure organisations ensuring that your roadmap is not just technically sound, but demonstrably compliant.
