The financial services industry needs to prepare its audit records for post-quantum cryptography immediately, rather than waiting until "Q-Day." Regulations like DORA, which took effect in January 2025, require records to be retained for years, meaning current digital signatures must be secure against future quantum attacks throughout their entire lifecycle. While the exact timeline for cryptographically relevant quantum computers remains uncertain, with estimates varying widely, the risk of data harvesting by attackers today necessitates proactive measures to protect long-lived data.
