Organizations with Time Capsules, older NAS systems, or servers using outdated TLS configurations must immediately audit their environments and plan upgrades, as non-compliance will prevent macOS 27 adoption on affected systems. This represents a significant infrastructure migration effort with only five months of notice before general release, requiring CIOs to prioritize inventory assessment and replacement budgeting now.
