Interactive PKI Tools

Seven interactive planners for PKI and PQC decision-makers. Each runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent anywhere. Click Launch Tool to open any tool in a popup.

Figure 1. Seven tools, three decision layers. Assess layer: PKI Health Radar and Shadow Heatmap establish baseline and surface unknown inventory. Model layer: Cost & Risk Explorer, Scenario Comparator, and Timeline Builder quantify options and regulatory deadlines. Demonstrate layer: Process Transform Slider and What-If Demo turn findings into executive-ready visuals.

Figure 2. Which tool to open first. Start with the question you need answered: 'Where are we?' → PKI Health Radar; 'What is this costing us?' → Cost & Risk Explorer; 'How much inventory is hidden?' → Shadow Heatmap; 'When do mandates hit?' → Timeline Builder; 'Which path should we take?' → Scenario Comparator; 'How do I show the board?' → Process Transform Slider or What-If Demo.
