G7-CISA Advisory Directs Inventory of Long-Lived Encrypted Data for Post-Quantum Migration

G7 and CISA frame quantum threats as an immediate inventory and procurement issue rather than a speculative future risk. The advisory aligns with existing NIST and UK roadmaps but adds little new technical evidence. Organizations holding long-secrecy data must treat migration as a current capital-planning item.

Next milestone is the 2025 federal agency cryptographic inventory deadline under updated OMB guidance; failure to meet it will surface in GAO reports and contract eligibility restrictions by 2027.

⚡ Prediction

NIST: Fewer than 40 percent of US federal systems will complete PQC migration by the 2029 target based on current contract award velocity.
