Topic: Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program was designed to provide increased assurance to the DoD that a DIB contractor can adequately protect sensitive unclassified information (i.e., FCI and CUI) at a level commensurate with the risk, and accounting for information flow down to its subcontractors in a multi-tier supply chain. CMMC was initially implemented as an interim DFARS rule in September 2020 (DFARS Case 2019-D041). In March 2021, in response to over 850 public comments, the program was modified and streamlined to CMMC 2.0. The revised CMMC Program aligns with existing cybersecurity models. Once implemented through the rulemaking process, when applicable through acquisitions vehicles, CMMC requirements will be required for prime contractors and their subcontractors. While the rule is being finalized, it is important to continue to prepare now! Come learn more about CMMC 2.0 and recommended next steps.
