DoD Cybersecurity – Are You Meeting Current CMMC Requirements?

The time is now to prepare for stricter data protection regulations that will be required in your contracts. This cyber security program not only is required for DoD business you will have an enhanced environment to gain the trust of customers and increase your revenue.
The CMMC 2.0 is the most recent version of the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Built on a foundation of NIST SP 800-171, the CMMC 2.0 establishes three certification levels that reflect the maturity and reliability of a company’s cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard sensitive government information on the contractors’ systems. Under CMMC, a contractor must be certified to be eligible to bid on, win or participate on a contract.
Without a valid CMMC certification the prime and/or sub will be barred from the contract (May 2023 is the target date for contract inclusion). Unlike previous requirements to be NIST SP 800-171 compliant, under CMMC the contractor can NOT self-certify.
