The Quantum-Safe Financial Enterprise

A Thales blueprint for operationalizing crypto-agility, reducing HNDL exposure, and producing audit-ready evidence by 2030

Quantum risk quickly becomes program risk: not knowing where cryptography is used, who owns it, and how to change it safely under scrutiny. This eBook gives financial services institutions a practical, two-track approach to PQC readiness—reduce HNDL exposure now on the links you control while you modernize core trust services in parallel. You’ll get a measurable definition of “ready by 2030,” a phased migration model, and clear guidance on what to validate so progress is defensible and audit-ready.

What you will learn:

• How to define measurable post-quantum readiness before 2030
• Practical approaches for reducing harvest now decrypt later (HNDL) exposure
• How to build crypto inventories, interoperability registers, and evidence packs
• Strategies for phased migration without disrupting critical operations
• How to operationalize crypto-agility across applications, infrastructure, and cryptographic services
