Practice note
CMMC Phase II is paused. Your 800-171 clause is not.
In July 2026 the Department of War suspended the Phase II third-party assessment rollout. That changed the certification calendar. It did not erase NIST SP 800-171 or prime-contractor flow-downs.
We will not sell a countdown clock. We will sell a control-by-control gap, an SSP/POA&M starter, and a 90-day close plan.
