The UK NCSC sets migration milestones:

  • By 2028: define goals, complete discovery, and build initial migration plans
  • By 2031: complete early high-priority migration activities
  • By 2035: complete migration to PQC across systems, services, and products

Why it matters

The UK provides one of the clearest public migration timelines for organizations preparing for PQC.
