Private today.
Private later?
“Harvest now, decrypt later” means sensitive data captured today could face better decryption tools in the future. The useful question is not a date. It is how long your data needs to stay confidential.

Waiting for a choice
Start with an inventory
List which data must remain confidential, who controls its keys, and where it is stored. This page does not inspect your systems.
