Un examen du Government Accountability Office des États-Unis a conclu qu'aucune des 24 grandes agences fédérales n'a pleinement appliqué trois pratiques de préparation post-quantique. Une seule disposait d'un inventaire complet et priorisé des systèmes vulnérables au quantique, et aucune n'avait testé la cryptographie post-quantique dans son propre environnement.

The Quantum Insider reported on October 7, 2026 that the US Government Accountability Office has released a public version of its review of federal quantum readiness (GAO-27-108740), drawn from a 2025 report that remains partly restricted. GAO measured 24 major agencies against three preparation practices and found that none fully addressed all three.
The findings are specific. One agency had a complete, prioritized inventory of quantum vulnerable systems; 22 had incomplete inventories and one had none. Only five used automated tools to verify inventory data. None had fully assessed funding needs for its priority systems, none had tested post-quantum cryptography in its own environment, and 18 reported a shortage of cryptography expertise with no plan to close it. When GAO checked 15 systems at six agencies, none of the six could fully support the accuracy of the cryptographic information on file. OMB's governmentwide migration estimate to Congress is about $7.1 billion.
This is the best funded security establishment in the world, years into a post-quantum mandate, and one of 24 agencies can say with confidence what cryptography it runs and where. The gap is not algorithms, it is visibility. Documentation that could not be verified did not hold up when the auditor checked it. An inventory an auditor will accept is observed on the wire, not asserted on a data sheet. Canadian operators facing ITSM.40.001 and Bill C-8 can start where these agencies stalled.
