CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) takes effect 12/16/24. Are you ready?

At one minute after midnight tonight, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) will be mandatory for companies working with the Department of Defense (DoD).

Beginning Monday 12/16/24, DFARS Clause 252.204-7021 will be added to every DoD contract. This clause states that any contractor (prime, sub, or supply chain) performing DoD-related projects must achieve the necessary CMMC certification and be reported by March 1, 2025. 

What is CMMC?

CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. It's essentially a cybersecurity checklist that ensures companies can protect sensitive government information.

New defense federal acquisition regulations (DFARs) will require your company to be compliant at one of three levels:

  • Level 1: Basic security for Federal Contract Information (FCI). 

  • Level 2: Enhanced security controls for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). 

  • Level 3: Advanced security measures for critical national security information.

Why You Need to Comply

  • Companies must comply with CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) if they want to do business with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

  • ·Without CMMC certification, companies become ineligible for DoD contracts. CMMC compliance is crucial for any business operating in the defense industrial base (DIB).
