ExeQuantum holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and Australian defence export permits for its cryptographic library, underscoring its commitment to security and regulatory compliance.

The collaboration highlights regulatory expectations for cryptographic visibility and post-quantum migration, including PCI DSS v4.0.1, SAMA CSF, and DORA/NIS2.

EQCore delivers post-quantum security through automated cryptographic discovery, monitoring, and remediation, helping organizations inventory cryptographic assets and plan migrations to quantum-safe standards aligned with regulatory frameworks such as NIST CNSA 2.0 and PCI DSS v4.0.1.

ExeQuantum and Risk Associates have formed a strategic partnership to bring quantum-safe crypto to the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, deploying EQCore across Australia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and broader APAC.

Dr. Aftab Rizvi, CEO of Risk Associates, says EQCore provides a structured, repeatable way to demonstrate cryptographic visibility from discovery through ongoing compliance monitoring, filling a gap in their security stack.

Risk Associates is a PCI SSC Approved QSA and ASV, with CREST membership and capabilities in ISO 27001, IRAP, ACSC Essential 8, SWIFT CSP, and SOC assessments, enabling EQCore implementation in stringent security and compliance environments.

EQCore includes CipherScout, CipherWatch, and CipherForge to automate cryptographic discovery across ten areas—TLS/certificates, APIs, cloud and HSM key management, source code repositories, databases, and more—producing a CycloneDX-format Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) to map posture to frameworks and prioritize remediation.
