Spearheaded by the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment, the Cybersecurity Maturation Model Certification (CMMC) maps out the cyber hygiene requirements for all contractors within the defense industrial base seeking to do business with the Department of Defense. In contrast to past regulations that relied on contractor self-certification, the CMMC requires third-party validation of cybersecurity controls and processes across five levels, from basic to advanced.

Though it represents a long-overdue reckoning with the defense industry’s vulnerabilities, there is still a lot of work to be done until the CMMC is ready for complete deployment. As the DoD finalizes its third-party accreditation process and begins building CMMC requirements into contract this year, businesses must proactively prepare. LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
