NSA Guidance for Transition to Quantum-Resistant Cryptography P-HEADS: P-HEADS Agency heads ensure compliance, pass unmet requirements to the National Manager and keep reporting quantum-vulnerable systems

Heads of U.S. Government departments and agencies must ensure compliance with the policy and give their unfulfilled cybersecurity requirements under it to the National Manager (Director, NSA, Cybersecurity Directorate, Cryptographic Transformation Office) consistent with NSM-10. Until they are fully compliant with CNSA 2.0 or other NSA-approved quantum-resistant algorithms, NSM-10's annual reporting on quantum-vulnerable systems continues, including new acquisitions.
