Your customers’ data outlives the algorithms protecting it.
For banks, insurers, payment processors, and asset managers: quantify harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure and migrate the systems that carry it.
Context
What is actually happening.
Financial institutions hold records that must remain confidential for a decade or more. That is exactly the profile an adversary harvests today and decrypts later. At the same time, cloud migration and open banking have multiplied the number of places cryptography is chosen, often by teams that do not report to the CISO.
Obligations
What you will be asked for.
Summarized for orientation. Confirm applicability with your counsel, auditor, or contracting officer.
- Evidence of cryptographic controls for operational resilience and supervisory review
- Protection of long-retention customer and transaction data
- Third-party and cloud provider cryptographic attestations
- Payment ecosystem requirements that assume current algorithms remain safe
Approach
What we do about it.
Three workstreams that produce evidence, not just activity.
Exposure modelling
Classify data by confidentiality lifetime and model which systems are already exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later collection.
Payment and channel migration
Sequence TLS, HSM, and certificate migration without disrupting payment rails or partner interoperability.
Audit evidence
Produce continuous evidence of cryptographic posture for internal audit and supervisory exams.
Outcomes
What changes for you.
- A quantified HNDL exposure picture for the board
- A migration sequence that protects the longest-lived data first
- Cryptographic evidence produced continuously, not assembled annually
Where to start
A six-week readiness sprint scoped to this obligation.
One business unit, one CBOM, one prioritized roadmap, and a board memo that explains the exposure in business terms.
Next step
