Introduction<\/h3>\n

Quantum computing is on the near horizon. While leaders may have begun to prepare for the increase in computing capacity, many are not considering the very real \u2013 and very significant \u2013 privacy and data security law issues. Quantum capabilities will change how businesses need to think about a host of legal issues in this space. Whether it is the potential to reidentify previously anonymous data, the creation of massive datasets to protect, or the threat to today\u2019s encryption and identity systems, there are decisions to be made. And the decisions made today will be the story told tomorrow to regulators, boards and courts. For senior leaders each privacy and security risk brings in three core questions. What, factually, is likely to occur? What are the legal risks and obligations? And how can those risks be mitigated? Companies need more than a checklist to prepare. They need a well thought-through, governance-driven quantum readiness strategy. And to be effective, the strategy needs to be predicated not only on legal requirements and risks, but tenets of organizational change and behavioral science. In particular, one that creates the kind of effective compliance solution that is contemplated by regulators and governmental authorities like the Department of Justice as outlined in its Sentencing Guidelines for the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs. Below is what that path can look like for each risk area.<\/p>\n

1. Data Analytics<\/h3>\n

Quantum computing opens the possibility of large-scale data analytics by those who may have never engaged in any analysis before. Imagine being able to review the full scope and breadth of consumer information you maintain whether in structured or unstructured format. Already, business teams want to maintain data ad infinitum, arguing they may \u201cneed it in the future!\u201d Realistically, lawyers and data security professionals have argued, you may never use that data. So better to minimize risks and delete. That…<\/p>\n
