CMMC 2.0 Final Rule is Here
The U.S. Department of Defenses (DoD) published the Final Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Rule in the Federal Register on October 15, 2024. The CMMC Final Rule will be implemented on December 16, 2025, at which time DoD may begin requiring CMMC Certification. A separate rule will be issued in early 2025. This rule will require all DoD contracts to have language requiring DoD contractors be CMMC Certified as a condition of award.
The CMMC program was designed to ensure DoD contractors are fully compliant with existing cybersecurity requirements aimed at protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). For those DoD contractors handling CUI, they will need to be assessed by a Third Party (C3PAO) to ensure they are meeting cybersecurity requirements as it relates to CUI. DoD contractors handling Federal Contract
Information (FCI) will be required to self-assess and self-certify with the DoD.
Why You Should Become an Early CMMC 2.0 Adopter
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC 2.0) is a new security framework and a significant shift in government contracting. Whether you’re a small or large organization, and one of the estimated 300,000+ contractors in the DIB supply chain, you are expected to achieve certification and comply by 2025. Failure to do so will greatly impact your ability to compete, and more importantly, win defense contracts.
If your organization hasn’t begun to lay the groundwork for CMMC certification, now is the time to start and make cybersecurity your top priority.
