UK PQC Timeline
Every UK system, service and product moves to post-quantum cryptography, starting with critical infrastructure.
ForSecurity leaders at UK organisations that run critical or regulated systems.
What’s changing, and when
The National Cyber Security Centre sets three milestones for every organisation, starting with critical national infrastructure: know what you have and plan by 2028, move the highest-priority systems by 2031, and complete the move for all systems, services and products by 2035.
- By 2028 Define migration goals, carry out full discovery, build an initial plan
- 2028 to 2031 Execute the highest-priority upgrades and refine the plan
- 2031 to 2035 Complete migration for all systems, services and products
Why it can’t happen in one step
An organisation's cryptography sits in thousands of places, from certificates to stored records to partners' systems. It moves in priority order over years, and the data signed or encrypted along the way has to stay usable throughout.
How Polymonial carries you across
- Move what matters most first, at your own pace.
- Data you share stays secure, whoever you share it with.
- Everything keeps working while the move is under way.
Polymonial and crypto-agility
Crypto-agility changes your software. Smart Data Infrastructure keeps your data secure, trusted and under your control through the change.
Trust that travels.
