Standardization, Certification & Compliance
Learn who defines algorithms, how products are validated or evaluated, and how to investigate which regulatory sources may matter in a real engagement.

What this means for you
- Executive / Business Leader
- "For You" groups scoped instruments as Binding, Relevant / recognized, Cross-border and Advisory above a "Deadline timeline", with "Sector threats" and "Industry events" beside them; "Progress" states the next dated milestone in your scope.
- GRC / Risk & Compliance
- "Rules & Standards": pick a Country (sector comes from the top bar) and review why each instrument is in scope, its binding basis and freshness; "Sources & Practices" shows extracted passages to verify against primary sources, while "Products" separates algorithm validation, module validation and evaluated claims.
- Developer / Engineer
- "For You" has an inventory-policy CI example with a "Copy CI gate YAML" button — it can fail on prohibited findings but does not determine compliance — plus "Algorithm coverage" and an "Implementation jump bar".
- Security Architect
- "For You" has a "Crypto-Agility Maturity" panel, a "Jurisdiction map" and "Standards to read"; the "Landscape" tab lays out Standardization Bodies, Certification Schemes and Compliance Frameworks as one pipeline.
- Researcher / Academic
- "For You" sorts frameworks by data confidence with a "Source library" and "Cited timeline events"; "Sources & Practices" names the model that extracted each passage; "Product Records" are snapshots of NIST CMVP, CAVP and Common Criteria records with source and freshness metadata.
- Certification & Validation Engineer
- "Product Records" lists NIST CMVP, CAVP and Common Criteria records — keep the stages apart: CAVP is the prerequisite, a module certificate is the certification; "For You" lists the schemes that expect PQC and the tests to run first.
- IT Ops / DevOps
- "For You" has a "Rotation clock" bucketing frameworks by how soon they bind, "Toolchain quick jumps" and "Framework deadlines"; "Products" shows whether each certificate is PQC validated, mixed or classical only.
- Curious Explorer
- "For You" opens with "Does this affect me?"; the "Landscape" tab shows who defines algorithms (Standardization Bodies), who validates products (Certification Schemes) and who mandates adoption (Compliance Frameworks).
Educational referenceLearn how standards, certification evidence, and regulatory sources relate to PQC. This is not a GRC system, legal advice, an applicability decision, or proof of compliance.

- 1. Predict before you run it.
- 2. Run or change the tool above.
- 3. Explain what the result shows.
On the Compliance page, a product you run holds a FIPS 140-3 certificate. What else does the Products view tell you about that certificate, beyond the fact that it exists?
