Set your update deferral

Apple released iOS 26.7.1 on 28 September 2026. Its deployment guide says a deferral runs from 1 to 90 days, and that an enforcement date set by the administrator applies regardless of deferrals. Cyber Essentials v3.3 sets 14 days where the vendor gives no severity level, or where the CVSS v3 base score is 7 or above, and CISA-ADP scored this flaw 8.8. The deferral is an example fleet setting, not a finding about any organisation.
