PQC Readiness PR Gates: Stop New Quantum Exposure Before Merge
How PR and release gates can enforce post-quantum readiness using SARIF, baselines, HNDL exposure, score deltas, retests, and policy checks.
Migration debt starts in the pull request
Post-quantum migration is harder when new RSA, ECC, DH, weak hashes, or risky protocol configurations keep entering the codebase. PR gates make readiness an engineering workflow instead of a periodic assessment.
What a useful gate should evaluate
A gate should avoid blocking teams on old known debt unless policy asks for it. The highest-signal control is to catch new exposure, score drops, expired exceptions, and regressions after remediation.
- New HNDL exposures and new quantum-vulnerable findings
- RelixQ Score drops and high-impact drivers
- SARIF output for code-review context
- Baselines, exceptions, retest state, and verified-to-open regressions
Why this matters for buyers
A report can describe risk once. A PR gate prevents drift every day. That is why RelixQ Enterprise should lead with developer-first gates alongside QAST reports and leadership scoring.
