DigiCert Quantum Central turns PQC plans into action

DigiCert, a global intelligent trust specialist, has announced the general availability of DigiCert Quantum Central, part of the DigiCert ONE platform. Quantum Central helps organisations manage and demonstrate progress toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness*.

Previewed in July, Quantum Central offers expanded capabilities that help organisations move from finding cryptographic risks to managing them. Teams can bring together cryptographic data from multiple sources, apply their own security policies, initiate remediation workflows, assign ownership, and track progress from a central location.

The launch comes as organisations struggle to turn PQC planning into execution. According to the 2026 DigiCert Quantum Readiness Outlook, 87% of organisations are planning, testing or implementing PQC initiatives, yet only 7% have deployed quantum-safe or hybrid cryptography.

“Most organisations understand the quantum risk. Their challenge is coordinating action across legacy systems, fragmented data and multiple technology owners,” said Kevin Hilscher, Senior Director of Product Management at DigiCert.

“Quantum Central turns cryptographic visibility into a prioritised and trackable readiness programme. Teams can begin with a critical environment, act on what they find and expand over time, while giving leadership, auditors and regulators clear evidence of progress.”

Quantum Central helps security, IT, risk and compliance teams:

Create a unified cryptographic inventory

Consolidate and normalise data from DigiCert ONE, network scans, certificate lifecycle management platforms, key vaults, uploaded CSV files and software or cryptographic bills of materials.

Establish policies and priorities

Define cryptographic policies based on organisational requirements, industry standards, and regulatory guidance. Quantum Central evaluates inventory data, identifies policy violations and alerts teams when action is needed.

Turn findings into remediation

Translate policy violations into recommended actions and create change requests through established workflows, including Jira. Integration with DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager enables teams to initiate certificate lifecycle actions directly from their readiness programme.

Interpret inventory data faster

Use an inventory-aware AI assistant to understand findings, explore cryptographic exposure and identify practical next steps.

Measure and report progress

Track remediation status, policy compliance, and overall cryptographic posture through centralised dashboards. Organisations can also export inventory data as cryptographic bills of materials for audits, assessments, and reporting.

Connect external systems

Import cryptographic data programmatically through an API, allowing organisations to continue expanding their inventory as their readiness programmes mature.

“The market is entering the operational phase of post-quantum readiness, and enterprises need a way to connect cryptographic discovery with business context, policy and remediation,” said Jennifer Glenn, Research Director for Information and Data Security at IDC.

“Tying inventory, workflows, and reporting to that policy in a single view gives organisations a practical operating model for the complex, multiyear transition to quantum-safe cryptography.”

According to Digicert, organisations can make practical progress now by assigning accountable owners, establishing enough cryptographic visibility to set priorities, adopting PQC where supported and documenting results. An incremental approach allows teams to begin with a critical application environment or infrastructure layer and expand their program without waiting for a complete enterprise-wide inventory.

Quantum Central is the management layer for enterprise quantum readiness, spanning cryptographic use cases beyond PKI. DigiCert ONE managers provide the automation layer for certificates, software, devices and content, while DigiCert Private CA and CertCentral provide the trust and issuance foundation needed to put new cryptography into production. That combination helps organisations manage the broader readiness programme while preparing for the more complex PKI transition that will unfold over time.
