CMMC after the pause: What the suspension means for defense contracts

Thursday, October 29 | 10-11 a.m. CDT

On July 13, 2026, the Department of Defense announced the immediate suspension of CMMC Phase II, the requirement for third-party (C3PAO) assessments at Level 2, and launched a 60-day, top-to-bottom review of the entire program.

For defense contractors, the announcement raised more questions than it answered:

  • Does self-assessment mean the pressure is off?
  • What happens when the CMMC Reform Task Force reports back?
  • What should you be doing right now?
Join our webinar as we break down what the suspension means and what defense contractors should be doing in the meantime.

Whether you're just starting your CMMC journey or you were weeks away from a C3PAO assessment when the suspension hit, this session will give you a clear, practical plan for the months ahead.
