CRYPTAGION vs open-source CBOM tools
Open-source CBOM tooling is genuinely useful — and CRYPTAGION is built on the same open standards (CycloneDX 1.6) and even open-source engines under the hood. The honest difference is not “inventory or not.” It is what happens after the inventory.
Open-source CBOM tools generate a cryptographic inventory. CRYPTAGION turns that inventory into a defensible migration decision: risk score, regulatory evidence, board report, and migration waves.
Side by side
| Capability | Open-source CBOM tooling | CRYPTAGION |
|---|---|---|
| Cryptographic inventory | Yes | Yes |
| CycloneDX 1.6 CBOM output | Yes (open standard) | Yes |
| Code + certificates + live TLS in one pass | Usually single-source / DIY glue | Combined |
| Per-asset quantum-risk scoring | No — inventory only | Yes |
| Harvest-now-decrypt-later (HNDL) exposure | No | Per-asset lifetime |
| Board-ready executive report (PDF) | No | Yes |
| Wave-based migration roadmap (with effort) | No | Yes |
| Regulatory mapping (DORA, NIS2, CRA, FIPS) | No | Yes |
| On-prem / air-gapped execution | Yes (runs locally) | Yes |
| Setup & expertise required | You assemble & maintain it | Delivered as an engagement |
| Support & accountability | Community | Named practitioner · SLA on Platform |
| Cost | Free (your time) | Paid engagement |
When to use which (honestly)
Open-source is the right call when…
You have the in-house cryptography expertise and the time, you mainly need a raw inventory, and you are comfortable assembling and maintaining the tooling yourself. It is free and capable.
CRYPTAGION makes sense when…
You need the inventory and the decision layer — risk-scored, regulator-mapped, board-readable, with a prioritised migration plan — delivered fast, with a named owner accountable for the result. Typically regulated EU enterprises under DORA / NIS2 / CRA.

We run CRYPTAGION against one of your repositories in the call and produce a real CBOM, risk score and roadmap — no payment until you’ve seen it work.
