Implementing Voluntary Agreements Under the Defense Production Act
The Department of Energy is developing voluntary agreements under the Defense Production Act, which may affect private security firms involved in energy infrastructure protection. No immediate regulatory changes for security licensing, but firms should monitor for potential impacts on contracts or resource allocation.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Private Security Licensing space on July 6, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Low urgency. Private security firms, especially those with energy sector clients should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting.

Aforeworn monitors Private Security Licensing continuously and turns every detected change into a plain-English briefing like this one, so you always know first. Forewarned is forearmed.
