## Executive Summary

QIZ Security sells a platform that finds the cryptography an organization runs, ranks the riskiest uses, and plans the migration to quantum-resistant algorithms. A July 2026 announcement put its seed round at $17 million, led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Merlin Ventures, and in its first year it announced a Google Cloud collaboration and joined the CrowdStrike and AWS accelerator and the PKI Consortium. The company's public disclosures run to partnerships, not customers: the reviewed record has no customer name, price, or product documentation, and the 100-plus organizations it cites are ones it says it has worked with on PQC readiness, not named deployments. The vendor offers demos and proof-of-concept engagements, so buyers evaluate privately what the public record does not show.
