Company Description
ClaritasQuantum is an early-stage post-quantum cryptography startup helping enterprises prepare for the quantum computing era. Our platform identifies cryptographic vulnerabilities across enterprise infrastructure, scores post-quantum readiness, and maps dependencies so security teams can plan migration to NIST PQC standards. We deliver cryptographic asset discovery, risk quantification, and actionable migration roadmaps for CISOs and security leaders at organizations where the cost of getting quantum wrong is highest. We recently secured NSF I-Corps National acceptance with a $50,000 award and are running active customer discovery with banks, PQC vendors, and federal contacts.
