One platform to grade every asset for TLS strength, map its quantum-migration phase, and watch the whole estate move - scan by scan.

The platform

From a single handshake to the whole estate.

DRISHTI-PQC scans live TLS endpoints - not source code - so everything it reports is the cryptography actually negotiated in production. A quick scan grades one host in seconds; organise hosts into banks and the platform rolls the same evidence up into estate-wide posture, a quantum-migration map, and a single ranked backlog. Every number traces back to a real, observed handshake.

Observed, never assumed

Each value - protocol, key exchange, cipher, certificate - comes from a real connection. What can't be checked safely is marked “not assessed,” never guessed.

Degrade, never crash

Every probe is wrapped so one failed field becomes “Unknown” instead of breaking a scan. A partial answer always beats no answer.

Evidence a regulator accepts

“Here is the RSA genuinely running on your netbanking portal right now” - production truth, not a code import found in a repo.

Grading

An A+ to F grade, the way the industry reads it.

DRISHTI-PQC scores each host the way a Qualys- or SSL Labs-style report does, weighing protocol support, key exchange and cipher strength into a single letter your leadership already understands. No interpretation needed: a grade, four sub-scores, and the reasons behind it.

A full A+ through F scale — strongest to weakest — with four sub-scores behind every letter.

Depth

Protocol-level detail, not just a score.

Look past the grade and the full handshake is laid out - the SSLv3–TLS 1.3 protocol matrix, the per-version cipher list with forward-secrecy and strength flags, secure renegotiation, session resumption, OCSP stapling, HSTS, the negotiated key-exchange group, and the certificate's serial, fingerprint, key type and full SAN list. Each value is observed from a real handshake, never assumed.

Protocol matrix

SSLv3 / TLS 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 support, each confirmed live - with RC4, SSLv3 and TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV checks.

Observed

Cipher suites

The full list per TLS version, with forward secrecy, strength and a per-cipher quantum flag.

Observed

Named groups

The exact key-exchange group negotiated, down to x25519 and the P-curves.

Observed

Certificate identity

Issuer, serial, SHA-256 fingerprint, key type and size, validity window and every subject alternative name.

Observed
Findings

Every weakness, named - with the fix.

A deterministic findings engine turns what was observed into a clear list: severity, the CVE where one genuinely applies, and the remediation step. What can't be checked without an active exploit probe is marked “not assessed” - honestly, never guessed.

Quantum readiness

Ready for the threat that hasn’t arrived yet.

DRISHTI-PQC detects post-quantum key exchange - ML-KEM and hybrid groups - so you can see, asset by asset, where the bank already stands against “harvest-now, decrypt-later.” It is the same lens behind PNB's readiness benchmarking.

PQC
Post-quantum key-exchange detection, built in.
Migration phase

Every host placed on the NIST IR 8547 journey.

A grade says how strong a host is today; a phase says where it sits in the quantum migration and what single step moves it forward. DRISHTI-PQC classifies each asset into one of five phases from real handshake fields - and rolls them into a bank-wide waterfall with a readiness percentage. Two hosts that both read “not PQC” can be a config flip apart or a new-appliance apart; the phase tells them apart.

Progress over time

Proof the estate is actually moving.

Every scan into a bank is captured automatically, so posture builds its own history. Change-tracking shows a score-over-time trend, a “what changed since last scan” delta feed, and a per-asset movement trail - every grade promotion or demotion and every PQC-readiness flip, with the host named and dated. When a host crosses into hybrid key exchange it's recorded as “became PQC-ready”; if it slips back, that's recorded too. It's the dated, screenshot-ready evidence of progress for leadership.

Cryptographic Bill of Materials

A CBOM built from production, not from source.

A machine-readable inventory of every cryptographic asset in use - algorithms, protocols, certificates and keys - flagging which are quantum-vulnerable, when they break, and what to replace them with. Because DRISHTI-PQC reads live endpoints, this CBOM records the cryptography genuinely negotiated across the bank's real estate: the more credible artifact for a regulator than anything a source-code scanner can produce.

Algorithm inventory

Every protocol, key exchange, cipher and certificate signature actually seen in production.

Quantum-flagged

Break horizons

Which assets are quantum-vulnerable and the migration urgency against the NIST timeline.

Quantum-flagged
The suite

One question per tool. One estate, unified.

Each tool answers a focused question about a domain or a host. The Attack Surface console unifies every finding across every bank into one posture, one phase map and one prioritised backlog.

Executive Posture

One DRISHTI score for the whole bank, with trend and a velocity-based path to quantum-safe.

API Security

Exposed docs, GraphQL introspection, CORS and auth checks on API hosts.

Inventory

One clean record per asset, always current.

Organise hosts by bank and rescan whenever you need. Each asset keeps a single entry that always reflects its latest scan - so the inventory stays the source of truth, never a pile of duplicates - while an append-only history quietly preserves every past scan for the trend and movement trails.
