Cyber Awareness Month wrap: five actions that should still be true in November

October was never awareness cosplay. If you only shipped vibes, November looks the same. Lock these five:

1. Vendor one-pager in use — not a SIG dying in the inbox
2. Remote-access hygiene verified — version, MFA, session review, evidence across the book (KEV was the cue; habit is the point)
3. Shadow AI inventory dated — tools, data classes, owners
4. Living risk picture — makes SOC 2 and buyer asks survivable; evidence over logos
5. CMMC L1 (or your next bar) mapped — Confirmed / Partial / Gap, owners named
