This GAO audit highlights a systemic failure across all 24 CFO Act agencies to prepare for post-quantum cryptography migration, leaving critical federal data exposed to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. The findings underscore severe gaps in cryptographic asset inventories, funding assessments, and operational testing, with experts predicting cryptographically relevant quantum computers could emerge as early as the 2030s. Without addressing these deficits in talent and standardized tools like Cryptographic Bill of Materials automation, the U.S. government risks significant security vulnerabilities once quantum decryption capabilities become feasible.
GAO Audit Finds All 24 CFO Act Federal Agencies Unprepared for Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration

A GAO audit found that all 24 CFO Act federal agencies are unprepared for post-quantum cryptography migration, with none having fully implemented the required preparatory practices. The audit, publicly released in October 2026, revealed significant deficits in cryptographic asset inventory, migration funding assessments, and operational PQC testing. This lack of readiness leaves critical federal data vulnerable to future quantum attacks, particularly from "harvest now, decrypt later" tactics by hostile nation-states.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a public audit report (GAO-27-108740) evaluating the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness of all 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act federal agencies. The findings reveal that zero out of the 24 reviewed agencies…
