The data layer remains optional. Programs that hit every milestone without object-level enforcement still fail on a compromised service account.

The guide advances identity, network, and visibility maturity for OT. The data plane remains an open enforcement gap.

ML-KEM-768 will not clear NSS. Vendors that staked PQC-ready claims on the smaller parameter set need new statements.

September 21, 2026 sunsets FIPS 140-2 for federal procurement. January 2027 binds CNSA 2.0 for National Security Systems. The migration that matters is not the algorithm. It is the cryptographic agility to swap one.

Two April 2026 incidents show why ABAC enforcement at the data object, not the network or the identity plane, is the control that actually contains MCP.

Patching closes the vector. It does not answer what an attacker read, modified, or signed before the update landed.

Identity controls were present. They were not the control that mattered.

A data-centric security approach shifts protection from infrastructure to the data itself.
