Post-Quantum Banking Resilience Index (PQ-BRI)

The PQ-BRI is an independent, 6-dimension evaluation framework designed for Chief Information Security Officers, Treasury CTOs, and Risk Committees to quantify institutional exposure to quantum cryptanalytic threats.

Global Supervisory Benchmark: In July 2026, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) published its initial sector-wide Quantum Preparedness Index baseline, scoring the banking sector at 2.3 / 10 with a target of full resilience by 2030. The PQ-BRI evaluates institution-specific readiness on a 5.0 scale.
