AI GRC Master Suite v2.0: Quantum Ready (Excel XLSX)

BENEFITS OF THIS EXCEL DOCUMENT

1. Quantifies and visualizes "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) risks within your data pipeline, preventing long-term cryptographic debt.
2. Provides a defensible audit trail for autonomous AI agents, ensuring full alignment with Board risk appetite and emerging regulatory standards.
3. Operationalizes vendor risk assessments to filter out AI supply chain partners that lack a valid Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) roadmap.

RISK MANAGEMENT EXCEL DESCRIPTION

This product (AI GRC Master Suite v2.0: Quantum Ready) is an Excel template (XLSX) with a supplemental PDF document, which you can download immediately upon purchase.

WARNING: The "Green Lock" on your browser is lying to you.
While most organizations are currently focused on the immediate risks of Artificial Intelligence—such as hallucinations, bias, and prompt injection—a quieter, yet far more existential threat has entered the corporate data pipeline: HNDL (Harvest Now, Decrypt Later).

Global adversaries and state-sponsored actors are currently intercepting and storing vast amounts of encrypted enterprise data. They are doing this with the knowledge that Quantum Computers will break standard RSA-2048 encryption keys by approximately 2030. This creates a dangerous phenomenon known as "Cryptographic Debt." If your organization is deploying AI agents today to process long-horizon data (such as trade secrets, M&A strategies, pharmaceutical IP, or sensitive customer records), you are not just managing data; you are creating a liability that will bankrupt your security posture in less than five years.

Introducing the AI GRC Master Suite v2.0 (Quantum Ready Edition)
This document is not merely a checklist or a static policy paper. It is a fully operational, battle-tested Excel framework designed to bridge the gap between theoretical compliance (ISO 42001, EU AI Act) and practical engineering defense.

Version 2.0 has been specifically overhauled to address the intersection of Agentic AI and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). It provides Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Risk Managers, and AI Architects with the immediate tooling needed to audit their AI ecosystems for future-proof security.

What is included in this Excel Toolkit?
The suite is composed of three integrated operational logs, fully editable and automated for immediate deployment:

1. The Quantum Risk Assessment Matrix Standard risk matrices ignore the dimension of time. This advanced matrix introduces "Data Shelf Life" as a critical variable. It features automated logic that flags any AI use case involving "Long-Horizon Data" (data that must remain secret for >5 years). If such data is protected only by classical encryption, the cell highlights in RED, signaling a "Critical HNDL Vulnerability." This forces project owners to implement remediation strategies before deployment, rather than after a breach.

2. The Vendor PQC Inquisition Log Your AI supply chain is your weakest link. Many SaaS and LLM providers have no roadmap for Post-Quantum Cryptography. This tool provides a structured audit log to assess your vendors. It helps you categorize providers into "Quantum Ready" partners versus "Legacy Liabilities." It includes specific fields for tracking their migration roadmaps to NIST-approved PQC algorithms (like CRYSTALS-Kyber), ensuring you do not onboard "Zombie Vendors" that will jeopardize your compliance in 2027.

3. The Agentic Decision & Shadow Crypto Log As AI moves from passive chatbots to autonomous agents, the risk of "Shadow IT" explodes. This log provides a governance structure for Agentic Workflows. It tracks the autonomy level of each agent, the specific datasets it is allowed to access, and the cryptographic state of its outputs. This creates a defensible audit trail for the Board of Directors, proving that your autonomous systems are operating within the bounds of corporate risk appetite.

Why is this toolkit necessary now?

•  According to Mosca's Theorem (X+Y>Z), the time to start migrating to quantum-safe governance was yesterday. If it takes you 3 years to update your infrastructure (Y) and the data must be kept safe for 5 years (X), and quantum computers arrive in 7 years (Z), you are already too late (3+5>7).

•  The AI GRC Master Suite v2.0 allows you to quantify this risk today. It transforms your governance from a passive safety exercise into an active, strategic defense mechanism.

•  Don't govern your AI for 2024. Secure it for 2030.

This document is available as a fully editable Excel Workbook (.xlsx), ready for immediate customization to fit your organization's specific risk thresholds.
BONUS MATERIAL: This download also includes a complimentary PDF copy of the Executive Briefing: "The AI Quantum Paradox". This strategic guide explains the mathematical urgency behind HNDL risks and serves as the theoretical companion to the Excel framework
