Assessment Objectives

In addition to relevant policies, standards and procedures, the assessor shall examine, interview, and/or test to determine if appropriately scoped evidence exists to support the claim that:

• QTS-09.9_A01 hybrid/composite algorithms are leveraged as a transition path to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) solutions, where applicable.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: SCF Created
• QTS-09.9_A02 solutions support hybrid signatures (e.g., ECDSA + ML-DSA) and hybrid Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) (e.g., ECDH + ML-KEM).
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: SCF Created
• QTS-09.9_A03 certificate formats, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and trust anchors can support dual-key or dual-certificate models.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: SCF Created
• QTS-09.9_A04 plans exist for eventual removal of classical algorithms once PQC confidence is sufficient.
  Assessment rigor: 1

• Secure Controls Framework -

  The Secure Controls Framework® (SCF)

  "The SCF is the Common Controls Framework™ (CCF), the world's most comprehensive cybersecurity and data privacy metaframework - it is also free to use. The entire concept is building secure, compliant and resilient capabilities in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
  
  The SCF is more than just a unified control catalog, since its included content creates a playbook for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) capabilities. Used globally by organizations of every size, the SCF is a robust and scalable solution for security, compliance and resilience controls. As a comprehensive security framework, the SCF maps 1,400+ controls across 200+ laws, regulations, and industry frameworks so you can implement once and comply everywhere.
  
  Like it or not, cybersecurity is a protracted war on an asymmetric battlefield, where the threats are everywhere and as defenders we have to make the effort to work together to help improve cybersecurity and data privacy practices, since we all suffer when massive data breaches occur or when cyber attacks have physical impacts. Hackers share information on attack methods with other hackers, so why shouldn’t the good guys share information on how to best protect an organization? We decided to take action and make a difference, since we feel it is too important to wait for someone else to fix the problems that exist.
  
  The SCF is made up of volunteers, mainly specialists within the cybersecurity profession, who focus on GRC and the cybersecurity side of data privacy. These are auditors, engineers, architects, incident responders, consultants and other specialists who live and breathe these topics on a daily basis. The end product is "expert-derived content" that makes up the SCF." https://securecontrolsframework.com/
