Risk, Compliance and Audit

For GRC, internal audit and second-line risk staff who assure a migration they do not run. Learn the rules for your jurisdiction and industry, map them to your controls, and earn PQCS and PQCV.

Start with the rules. After Post-Quantum Foundation, you learn which post-quantum rules apply to your organization in the PQC Compliance course for your jurisdiction. In the Quantum-Safe overview for your industry, you learn what your sector’s regulators expect and when.

In PQC for GRC Professionals, you map those requirements to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, DORA, NIS2 and your other control frameworks. You also define the audit evidence you will ask for.

PQCV is the credential for assurance work. It validates that you can verify a post-quantum implementation and produce audit evidence. PQCV requires an active PQCS, so PQCS training comes first.

Choose your jurisdiction and your industry below. The page shows the Global Overview until you choose a jurisdiction.
