CMMC enforcement may be paused, but cybersecurity requirements are not. Defense contractors should use this window to continue readiness, close gaps, and strengthen their ability to protect CUI. ProStratus is helping clients stay prepared for whatever comes next.

CMMC Phase II enforcement may be paused, but defense contractors should not pause cybersecurity readiness.

The government is reviewing how assessments should work going forward. That does not eliminate the responsibility to protect Controlled Unclassified Information, maintain accurate self-assessments, or meet existing contractual cybersecurity obligations.

Our guidance is simple: continue the work. Keep scoping. Keep remediating. Keep documenting evidence. Keep implementing secure technical controls. If the assessment process is streamlined, prepared organizations will benefit. If government-led reviews or prime contractor requirements increase, prepared organizations will be ready.

ProStratus helps contractors build real readiness through compliance guidance, engineering services, managed security, and technical implementation.

ProStratus is heading to the 2026 Life Cycle Industry Days (LCID) & Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI)!

If you're attending, be sure to stop by Booth 202 and say hello. We'd love to connect, discuss your IT and cybersecurity challenges, and share how ProStratus helps organizations secure and optimize their technology environments.

Let's talk technology, cybersecurity, and business success.

See you there!

The recent pause in CMMC Phase II enforcement has created understandable questions across the Defense Industrial Base. But this moment should not be misunderstood: the assessment process may be changing, but the obligation to protect Controlled Unclassified Information has not gone away.

At ProStratus, we believe this is a pause—not a retreat. The old self-attestation model did not deliver the level of cybersecurity maturity the Defense Industrial Base needs. We expect the process to become more streamlined and scalable, but the core compliance and security requirements will remain essential.

For contractors, now is not the time to stop. It is the time to continue readiness, close gaps, document evidence, and implement the technical controls required to protect sensitive government information.

Compliance readiness will not get cheaper with time. Cybersecurity talent, labor costs, and technical complexity continue to increase. Organizations that use this pause wisely will be better prepared for whatever comes next.

ProStratus will continue helping defense contractors move from readiness to implementation with practical compliance, managed security, and technical delivery services.

🚀 ProStratus is Heading to LCID & WDI 2026!

We're excited to announce that Heidi Southam, Kevin Schleinitz and Tony Cooper ProStratus will be exhibiting at the 2026 Life Cycle Industry Days (LCID) and Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI) in Dayton, Ohio, July 27–31, 2026.

As organizations across the defense and aerospace sectors continue to navigate evolving cybersecurity, compliance, and technology challenges, we're looking forward to connecting with industry leaders, government partners, and fellow innovators to discuss how secure, scalable IT solutions can support mission success.

If you'll be attending LCID/WDI, stop by and meet the ProStratus team. We'd love to talk about:
✅ Cybersecurity & CMMC Compliance
✅ Managed IT Services
✅ Cloud Solutions & Modern Workplace Technologies
✅ AI-Powered Business Automation
✅ Strategic Technology Planning

We look forward to building new relationships, sharing ideas, and helping organizations strengthen their technology foundation for the future.
