Supply Chain Security – The March 24th Deadline
For the Global 2000 Manufacturing base, Supply Chain Security graduates from a compliance checkbox to a market access requirement on March 24, 2026.
The Context: By March 24, 2026 (Day 120), the U.S. Secretary must develop a plan with risk-based cybersecurity measures for incorporating datasets from private sector partners. This effectively sets the security baseline for the entire platform.
The Insight: This creates a stark asymmetry in the manufacturing market. Defense contractors are used to these controls; commercial automotive and logistics firms are not. If your supply chain relies on entities of concern or lacks robust security postures by the March 24 cutoff, you risk being locked out of the Genesis Platform. You cannot access the "most powerful computers" if your upstream suppliers are a security liability.
The Pivot Bridge the gap between Procurement and Security.
Assess: Does your supply chain visibility extend to the "isk-based cybersecurity measures required by the Order?
Upgrade: Move from standard vendor risk management to Federal-Grade supply chain vetting.
Secure: Prepare your partners before March 2026; their weakness is your exclusion.
How we can help: LFI conducts Supply Chain Risk Audits. We help you identify crypto-agility gaps and security vulnerabilities in your vendor network that could disqualify you from accessing the Genesis Platform.
