NIST 800-171

Deep Fathom's April 2026 Compliance Readiness Suite is the first agentic product aimed at the contractor side of CMMC. What is actually in it, and what the vendor's claims leave unproven.

Don't mistake a procedural pause in CMMC Phase 2 for a regulatory retreat. The compliance shadow is growing.

As AI agents enter the Defense Industrial Base, they create a massive compliance blind spot. Traditional security models like sandboxing won't satisfy CMMC 2.0's data-layer requirements.

The FY2026 NDAA ordered the Pentagon to build an AI/ML security framework and fold it into DFARS and CMMC. The human-era rule is paused mid-rollout, so defense contractors sit between a rule that cannot see their agents and a successor rule that is signed but not in force.
