Live Expert Webinar | July 16th, 2026, 10:00 AM ET
The DoD suspended CMMC Phase 2. The internet is full of speculation. Get the facts from someone who has actually helped organizations protect classified information.
Join us July 16th, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET for a clear, practical breakdown of what the CMMC suspension means, what requirements remain in effect, and what you should be doing today to stay prepared.
The DoD Suspended CMMC
What It Means for Defense Contractors and What You Should Do Now
The Department of Defense suspended CMMC Phase 2 implementation. The announcement has created confusion.
Some say CMMC is dead. Others claim nothing has changed. Neither is accurate.
If your organization works with the DoD, cybersecurity requirements remain a critical part of doing business. The suspension changes the timeline. It does not eliminate your responsibility to protect controlled unclassified information or prepare for future requirements.
This webinar will explain what actually happened, what requirements still apply, and how your organization should respond.
In This Webinar You'll Learn...
- Why the DoD suspended CMMC Phase 2 and what the announcement actually says
- What the suspension changes and what it does not
- Which cybersecurity requirements remain in effect for contractors today
- How this impacts prime contractors and subcontractors at every tier
- What to expect from future DoD guidance and rulemaking
- The biggest mistakes contractors are making in response to the suspension
- A practical action plan to help your organization stay prepared and compliant
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is designed for:
- Defense contractors and DoD subcontractors
- CEOs, business owners, and operations leaders
- IT directors, IT managers, and information security professionals
- Compliance officers and contract managers
- Anyone responsible for protecting CUI or preparing for DoD cybersecurity requirements
Whether you are a prime contractor, subcontractor, executive, or IT leader, this session will help you understand what has changed and what has not.
Why This Matters
The CMMC suspension does not mean compliance risk has disappeared. It means the implementation timeline has shifted. For contractors, the stakes remain the same:
- Protect controlled unclassified information from unauthorized access
- Maintain eligibility for DoD contracts by meeting current cybersecurity requirements
- Prepare for future CMMC requirements that will eventually return in some form
By the end of this webinar, you will understand what the DoD announcement means for your organization, what actions you should take immediately, and how to stay prepared for what comes next.
