Q-Meridian Advisory partners with Midwest regional financial institutions ($1B-$15B asset tier) to execute baseline Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) discovery, Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later (HNDL) exposure mitigation, and third-party vendor SLA attestation.
Core Advisory Capabilities
Non-invasive passive network, TLS certificate, and legacy application cryptographic inventory mapped to CycloneDX standards for FFIEC IT Examination Handbook readiness and board-level risk reporting.
Turnkey FIPS 203/204 SLA attestation tracking, cryptographic posture questionnaires, and third-party risk scorecards across core banking processors, loan origination platforms, and wealth portals.
Ongoing quarterly cryptographic drift detection, automated certificate lifecycle governance, and independent Audit Committee readiness binders aligned with federal deprecation timelines.
While Tier-1 money-center banks maintain dedicated internal cryptography research divisions, regional institutions ($1B-$15B assets) face identical FFIEC examination expectations, third-party core processor dependencies, and long-tail data confidentiality mandates without dedicated post-quantum transition staff.
Q-Meridian Advisory operates as an independent technical intermediary-bridging enterprise cryptographic discovery architecture with board-ready regulatory governance.
