Why This Matters Now

CMMC Phase 2 begins November 10, 2026.

CMMC Phase 2 enforcement begins November 10, 2026. Small contractors should not wait until a prime contractor or assessment deadline forces action.

SPRS scores should be supported by real evidence, not guesswork. A score that was estimated quickly without documentation behind it is a risk, not a posture.

A readiness review now gives you time to organize documentation, map evidence to controls, and identify remediation priorities before pressure increases from contracts, primes, or assessors.
