Stay the Course: What the CMMC Suspension Means for You

The CMMC world got loud this summer. Phases 2 through 4 of implementation were suspended, a 60-day reform task force was stood up, and the headlines rushed to declare the program dead. It is not. For most defense contractors, the obligation to secure your environment has not moved an inch. In this 45-minute fireside chat, Vertikal6 CEO Rick Norberg and CTO Vin DiPippo separate what actually changed from what did not, and lay out what you should be doing between now and the task force’s report. Vertikal6 works the implementation side of CMMC, not the assessment side, so this is a practical view built for the people who have to act on it.

What You Will Learn

• What the suspension actually changed, and what it left fully in force
• Why “CMMC is dead” is the most expensive misread you can make right now
• Why self-attestation still carries real jeopardy for officers and the company under the False Claims Act
• Where scoping genuinely helps, and where cutting corners quietly raises your risk
• What to do Monday morning while the reform task force does its work
