Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Toolkit
RegCanary analysis of a HKMA publication
Why it matters
RegCanary's analysis of what this means for regulated firms.
While not a mandate, this guidance signals a growing regulatory focus on quantum-safe security. Compliance teams should use the toolkit to assess cryptographic vulnerabilities, inventory cryptographic systems, and develop migration roadmaps. Early engagement can mitigate future risks, ensure alignment with emerging standards, and protect customer trust.
Firms should also consider vendor readiness and budget implications for PQC migration.
