# Summit 7 Urges CMMC Compliance

Summit 7’s Jacob Horne has issued a warning to defense contractors taking a “wait and see” approach to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance and points them to an explanation of the issue. The supplied signal does not state specific CMMC requirements, deadlines, contract impacts, or a procurement opportunity, so it does not establish what contractors must do or by when.

- Defense contractors should review the linked explanation before making CMMC-related compliance or bid-readiness decisions.
- Procurement teams can use the warning as a prompt to assess how CMMC may affect their organization, while confirming any applicable requirements and timelines in authoritative materials; none are specified in this signal.
