News Summary:
On September 29, 2026, Tehama published the second part of its "Self-Custody Series," detailing how to continuously verify the integrity of a self-custody boundary beyond initial deployment and audit checks, building on the concept of a genuine control plane and data plane split. Previously, on September 21, Tehama released the first installment of this series, explaining how self-custody models, akin to "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC), establish compliance boundaries distinct from managed VDI environments. In July 2026, Tehama launched the third part of its "CMMC Series," which argued that a sovereign enclave strategy transforms CMMC compliance from a cost into a capability that accelerates contract pursuit, simplifies partner onboarding, and enables safer AI adoption. This followed the second part of the CMMC series on June 22, where Tehama detailed a self-custody model that enhances audit posture by allowing users to control encryption keys, audit logs, and identity credentials within their own cloud tenancy, thereby reducing reliance on vendor trust. Earlier, on June 14, Tehama initiated its "CMMC Series" by identifying the primary challenge for defense contractors seeking CMMC certification as managing overly large and interconnected networks, rather than a deficiency in security tools.
