Cryptographic Asset Prioritisation Matrix

Select the cryptographic asset categories your organisation uses. Answer three questions per asset. Receive a ranked migration sequence with phase timeline and per-asset recommendations.

  • Runs entirely in your browser: nothing is stored or transmitted
  • Dynamic wizard: one step per selected asset, three questions each
  • Scoring: asset lifetime (30%), replacement lead time (35%), data sensitivity (35%)
  • Output: ranked priority matrix, phase timeline, and downloadable PDF report
How this tool works

The Cryptographic Asset Prioritisation Matrix is a prioritisation sequencer. It does not calculate risk or assess compliance. Its output is a ranked migration sequence: given the asset categories you have declared, here is the order in which you should address them, and why.

Step 1 asks which cryptographic asset categories your organisation uses. Each subsequent step covers one selected asset with three questions: how long keys typically remain active, how long replacement would take, and how sensitive the data is. The number of steps scales with your selection.

Each asset receives a weighted priority score: asset lifetime (30%), replacement lead time (35%), data sensitivity (35%). Replacement lead time and data sensitivity receive equal weight because one determines when you must start; the other determines the consequence of delay. Assets are ranked highest-first and grouped into four priority bands. A phase timeline shows the recommended migration sequence across three phases.

The data sensitivity question uses scores 1, 2, 4, and 5. There is no score of 3. The gap is deliberate: the distinction between moderate and high sensitivity is qualitatively significant in the PQC threat context.

Step 1 of 2
Step 1: Asset Selection

Which types of cryptographic assets does your organisation use?

Select every category that applies. You will be asked three quick questions about each one. If you are not sure whether a category applies, include it — you can remove it later.
