What is Cryptographic Inventory?

Companies that handle sensitive data are frequently required to demonstrate to internal or external auditors that they use cryptography appropriately as part of their data protection strategy. This requires them to use a definition of acceptable cryptography (that often comes directly from a standards body like NIST/FIPS or PCI-DSS), and evidence that this policy is enforced throughout their infrastructure.

An automated, up-to-date Cryptographic Inventory provides this evidence. It can also be leveraged to develop “crypto agility” (the ability to change cryptographic libraries and algorithms rapidly when required). But what exactly should you put in a “crypto inventory”, and how do you make one efficiently?
