Federal contractors have **less than six months** to get compliant, or risk losing eligibility for government work.

**Key takeaways:**

- **FedRAMP:**

- **CMMC:**

The message is clear: **compliance is now a competitive differentiator, not a checkbox.**  
Organizations that haven’t started remediation, evidence collection, and assessor readiness are already behind.

The winners will be those who treat security as a **business capability** , not a last‑minute audit exercise.
