NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) Readiness Advisory

A strategy call with someone who has spent 25 years building compliance systems used by 100,000+ professionals in 160+ countries – not a generalist who read the standard last week.

Why work with Ivanka on NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205)

NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standardisation effort culminated in August 2024 with the publication of three Federal Information Processing Standards: FIPS 203 (ML-KEM, based on CRYSTALS-Kyber for key encapsulation), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA, based on CRYSTALS-Dilithium for digital signatures), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA, based on SPHINCS+ for hash-based digital signatures). These standards are designed to resist attacks from both classical and quantum computers. NIST recommends organisations begin transitioning to PQC algorithms immediately. A fourth standard (FN-DSA, based on FALCON) expected in 2025.

Most consultants approach NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) as a checkbox exercise. Ivanka approaches it as a strategic lever. With 25 years of building The Art of Service – a compliance platform now covering 692 frameworks and 819,000+ cross-framework mappings – she doesn't just understand the standard. She understands how it connects to everything else your organisation is already doing.

This matters because NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) doesn't exist in isolation. Ivanka will map your current compliance posture against the 23 controls across 6 domains, identify gaps, and show you where existing controls from other frameworks you may already follow can be leveraged – saving months of redundant work.

Relevant credentials

  • 25 years building enterprise security and compliance systems at The Art of Service
  • MIT Entrepreneurial Masters graduate – rigorous analytical approach to enterprise challenges
  • EXIN Expert Panel member – helping shape global certification standards

What you get in 30 minutes

Gap Assessment Review

Ivanka reviews your NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) readiness scores and identifies the critical gaps that carry the highest risk. No generic advice – specific to your domains and controls.

Implementation Roadmap

A clear, prioritised plan for addressing gaps across 6 domains. She maps what you can leverage from existing compliance work and what requires new investment.

Cross-Framework Strategy

NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) maps to 430 other frameworks. Ivanka shows you where a single control implementation can satisfy multiple regulatory requirements at once.

This is for you if

  • You need to achieve NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) compliance but don’t know where to start or how to prioritise
  • You’ve been told you’re “compliant” but suspect gaps exist that haven’t been properly assessed
  • You manage compliance for organisations across every sector and need expert guidance, not generic templates
  • You want to leverage existing compliance efforts across multiple frameworks rather than starting from scratch
  • You need a strategic plan your leadership team and board will actually understand and support
