Insights About the Whitepaper

What the September 21, 2026 deadline actually changes, and where the real work sits.

Historical status is a hard deadline

On September 21, 2026, every FIPS 140-2 certificate stops counting for HIPAA, FedRAMP, and federal programs.

Most gaps are invisible

Validated does not mean enabled. FIPS mode left off is the gap that no scan or alert catches.

The timeline cannot be compressed

HSM replacement and CMVP certification run months, so 16 to 18 weeks only works if you start now.
