Quantum Computing Services

As quantum computing capabilities continue to advance, organizations face both significant opportunities and emerging risks. Many technology and business leaders are uncertain about the potential impact of quantum technology on their operations, including its ability to enhance processes and the security risks it poses to critical data. Protiviti’s quantum computing services assist organizations in understanding these implications, identifying practical use cases, and preparing for a post-quantum future.

By conducting quantum computing readiness workshops, organizations can balance the pros and cons of quantum technology, assess their readiness, and develop a strategic adoption plan. Post-quantum risk assessments allow organizations to examine their exposure to quantum risks, particularly encryption security, and implement crypto-agile solutions for protecting confidential data. Apart from that, quantum computing proof of concept (PoC) solutions enable firms to prototype and test quantum-informed solutions such as machine learning and portfolio optimization as a gateway to competitive strength driven by anticipated quantum computing ability in the future. Combining these services enables organizations to mitigate and predict threats associated with the technology and derive power from the transformative technology.

Data Privacy Consulting 

Organizations are facing continuous changes in the data privacy landscape as evolving regulations require constant business, technical, and legal adaptations. These regulatory shifts often overlap, creating complex compliance challenges. Protiviti’s Data Privacy Consulting services help organizations navigate these challenges by developing and optimizing privacy programs that align with global regulatory requirements.

A structured privacy compliance platform helps organizations get compliant with current and future regulations today and tomorrow, from compliance strategy formulation to responding to data subject requests and regulation responses. Data discovery tools help organizations build an official list of personal data so that businesses can identify, categorize, and prioritize where data is collected, processed, and stored.

Privacy as a Service (Protiviti PraaS™) provides organizations with tailored, end-to-end support to assess privacy needs, automate tasks, and respond to regulatory changes. As international data privacy legislation continues to evolve, Protiviti employs an elastic framework that assists organizations in creating compliance plans, bridging resource gaps, operationalizing privacy regulations, and providing necessary tools and remediation assets.
