Securing the Ledger: A Board-Level Guide to Post-Quantum Migration for Corporate Finance

· Sebastien Rousseau

Quantum risk has moved from research curiosity to active regulatory mandate. With the G7 roadmap published in January 2026, the EU, UK, and ASD timelines clarified, and the BIS Project Leap proving feasibility at the central-bank level, the question for boards is no longer whether to migrate — it is whether the migration can be completed before the cryptographic shelf-life of today's data expires.
