NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standards are published and browser and OS vendors have begun to support them. Organisations holding data that must stay confidential for years, such as health, financial and national-security data, should start planning now.

- Prefer vendors with a PQC roadmap
- Design for crypto agility so algorithms can be swapped easily
