🛡️ The US Department of Defense has paused the rollout of CMMC Phase II, originally due November 10, 2026, while it conducts a 60-day review to reduce compliance burdens and foster innovation in the defense industrial base. The DoD will rely on NIST SP 800-171 self-assessments and select government-led checks during the interim, and has formed a CMMC Reform Task Force to realign the program with acquisition priorities.

🔒 UCR partnered with Google Public Sector to build a Secure Enclave powered by the Stellar Engine, a preconfigured cloud container that automates and enforces rigorous security postures. Backed by Google Cloud’s accredited services and a Zero Trust architecture, the environment closes unnecessary access points and maps foundational controls for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2. The result is reduced technical overhead for researchers, restored eligibility for sensitive federal grants, and a scalable model the university plans to share with peers.
